About DCR

DCR is a one of a kind coffee roaster based in Los Angeles. The Roastmaster brings the most delicate art of coffee roasting from Japan as well as the traditional Japanese pour-over brewing technique. DCR's roast is very strictly controlled to find the best roasting point of each coffee. Japanese Roast is slightly darker than typical American Roast; the coffee beans are lower in acidity and full of all kinds of flavor characteristics.

Japanese pour-over style

Japanese pour-over style brewing has a long history, it is used to extract finer parts of the coffee into a cup and eliminate its off-taste as much as possible. As a result, a cup of coffee prepared in pour-over method is clean and sophisticated.

Japanese Jazz

While it may come as somewhat of a surprise, Japan has, according to some estimates, the largest proportion of jazz fans in the world. And like the Japanese coffee brewing style, Japanese jazz cafés (jazu kissa) have also been around for a long time opening the first in 1933 in Yokohama, and subsequently inspired many other jazz cafés to open domestically and abroad.
