In the Cup
Sticky Waffle is a dessert-like delight — syrupy and smooth with a lively citrus sparkle. The cup opens with candied orange and maple glaze, evolving into soft almond pastry notes as it cools. Sweet, clean, and perfectly balanced, it’s a coffee that feels indulgent yet elegant.

About the Producer
The Crespo family purchased their farm 12 years ago with a vision to elevate Ecuadorian coffee through innovation and precision. Cherries are harvested at peak ripeness and brought to a nearby wet mill — just 800 meters away — to maintain absolute freshness. After pulping, they undergo the Golden Honey process, fermenting for 18 hours before drying on raised African beds under 70% shade for 12 days. The result is a coffee that reflects both craft and curiosity, capturing the Crespo family’s dedication to quality and detail.

A returning DAK favourite that truly lives up to its name — Sticky Waffle is golden, sweet, and endlessly satisfying.
