Portland Coffee Roasters

Portland Coffee Roasters is a coffee shop in Portland, OR, at 815 SE Oak St. The company roasts its coffee in Southeast Portland and has sourced beans directly from farmers since its founding in 1996, building relationships with producers in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Colombia, Honduras, and Burundi. Its coffee program includes blends such as St. Johns Espresso and the 30th Anniversary Roast, a light roast combining Costa Rica La Hilda, Colombia Popayan Reserve, and organic Ethiopia Tega & Tula Estate, along with single-origin offerings like Endless Summer from the Musenga Coffee Washing Station in Burundi and a washed organic Honduran coffee produced by more than 400 women farmers across the COMIPRONIL and CAUFUL cooperatives. The company also sells brewing gear and merchandise, including collectible glasses, a coffee scoop, a scented soy candle, and a coffee bean necklace cast in antique bronze from a real roasted bean.

Community work has been part of the business since 1999, when its first direct trade relationships with La Hilda Estate in Costa Rica and Finca El Paternal in Guatemala began. Annual projects have funded a day care in Costa Rica for children of farm families and clean water infrastructure and septic tanks, sinks, and bathrooms in Florencia, Colombia. The company also works with the local nonprofit Growing Gardens on food security in Portland. Its cafes and roasting facility are set up so that newcomers to specialty coffee and experienced baristas alike feel welcome.

The shop sits on SE Oak St, about 0.2 miles from Soho House Portland, Milagro, Imago Theatre, Art Design Xchange, East Burnside Street, and Southeast Morrison Street.
