Our Fall 2026 Gold Dot Seasonal Cups are complete.
Each cup is made from porcelain, with an interior glaze that ranges from clear to a subtle celadon. A thin flashing slip is sprayed onto the exterior, developing warm shades of peach and orange during firing.
At around 2,300°F, we spray a mixture of soda and water into the kiln. Soda ash is closely related to familiar household baking soda, which can also be used in this process. In the intense heat, sodium vapor reacts with the clay surface to form a glaze, often creating a gently dimpled texture known as orange peel.
Some cups receive a gentle blush of soda, preserving more of the warm flashing and a softer surface. Others sit directly in the path of the spray, developing a thicker, glassier finish. Each cup carries its own record of the flame and soda moving through the kiln.
Our Beans...Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Selected. Exceptionally Roasted.
At Gold Dot Roasting, we source coffees through partners who value strong relationships with the farmers and communities that produce them. We look for coffees with character, whether a beautifully balanced blend or a standout single origin that reflects the place where it was grown.
Every coffee we offer is fully traceable and professionally evaluated using the 100 point cupping scale. We select beans scoring 85 points or higher, then roast each one to highlight its unique qualities. The result is coffee chosen with care and roasted to bring out the very best in every bean.
