From the roaster

To celebrate the impending release of Anthrax's new album, Cursum Perficio, DMC has teamed up with the band to bring both the caffeine and the noise!

"Spreading the disease of metal for over forty years, Anthrax is stomping into 2026 with a new album with an urgency and persistence of such volume that only time itself can ensure it. This fistful of beans promises to make you euphorically thrashing mad from first sip to full slam; A blend for all kinds and queens meant to awaken you from the dead & back among the living!"

 

The base of Cursum Perficio is a washed process Catuai from Nicaragua that has been roasted with a little more heat to caramelize the sugars and bring out more toastiness; maintaining a sweet, nutty cup. We paired the Catuai with coffee from the Pacas Family in El Salvador, a blend of Bourbon and Pacas beans that come from several farms in the Santa Ana region, which go through a washed process at the Cafe Tuxpal mill. 

This coffee has a lot of chocolatey notes in the cup, with a hint of citrus that comes through as it cools!

Context

Produced by Dark Matter Coffee, Anthrax - Cursum Perficio is a washed-process coffee. While washed coffees are generally recognized for their clean, bright acidity and ability to highlight the inherent characteristics of the bean, this specific lot offers a distinct profile featuring notes of Nutella, graham cracker, and lemon tea. Understanding the impact of processing methods is essential for any enthusiast, as the choice between washed, natural, or honey-processed beans fundamentally alters the final cup's body and clarity.

When evaluating these specific tasting notes, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the cocoa-forward richness of Nutella and the delicate, citrus-toned finish of lemon tea. By isolating these individual components, drinkers can develop a more nuanced vocabulary for their sensory experience, bridging the gap between the roaster’s intent and their own palate.
