This Brazilian coffee is everything a dark roast should be. Smooth, full-bodied, and not bitter, we found it fitting to give it our anniversary name.

Flavor Profile: Dark Enough for Espresso, Smooth Enough for Every Day

Dorothy Lane Market 1948 Coffee strikes a rare balance:

  • Deep, developed roast character
  • Smooth caramelized sweetness
  • Subtle chocolate undertones
  • Balanced acidity
  • Clean, polished finish

It’s roasted dark enough to perform beautifully as espresso — producing rich body and satisfying depth — yet it remains smooth and approachable for daily drip brewing.

That balance is exactly what Calvin and Jennifer were searching for during their tasting: a coffee with structure and strength, but no harsh bitterness.

Why Buy the 5 lb (80 oz) Bulk Bag?

A 5 lb bag equals 80 ounces of coffee — the equivalent of 6 full 12-oz bags plus nearly a 7th bag.

That means:

  • Better price per ounce
  • Fewer reorders
  • Ideal for offices, hospitality, and serious home coffee drinkers
  • Consistent flavor you can rely on
  • If you’ve searched:
  • “Best bulk gourmet coffee online”
  • “5 lb coffee bag value comparison”
  • “Buy 1948 coffee in bulk”
  • “DLM signature coffee 5 lb”
  • “Best coffee for office that’s not bitter”

This size delivers both quality and efficiency.

Why did coffee prices increase so drastically in 2025 (not due to tariffs)?

  • Severe Weather & Crop Damage: Major coffee-producing regions faced droughts, heat waves, and storms that reduced yields and quality.
  • Reduced Harvests in Key Origins: Brazil and other top producers reported smaller crops, tightening global supply.
  • Higher Transportation & Shipping Costs: Ongoing logistical bottlenecks and fuel cost volatility pushed up freight expenses.
  • Labor Shortages & Rising Farm Costs: Coffee farms faced rising wages and input costs (fertilizer, fuel), increasing production expenses.
  • Currency Fluctuations: Weaker local currencies against the dollar made exporting coffee more expensive for buyers.
