Portland Coffee Roasters

Portland, Oregon

Portland Coffee Roasters is a mission-driven organization forging positive human connections and building a socially responsible business through great coffee since 1996.

They are about brewing a great cup, advocating for well-sourced and expertly prepared coffee, supporting the global coffee community, and making the world better.

Their approach to coffee focuses on building solid and lasting relationships with growers and understanding the lengths producers go to grow and harvest coffee of the highest quality.

They celebrate the people who help create your coffee experience, from the farmers who grow it to the roasters who seek to showcase all the effort and care of the growers.

Portland Coffee Roasters is committed to sustainability and social impact.

They strive to reduce their environmental impact, compost all their organic waste, recycle over 56.5 metric tons of waste per year, and use skylights and motion-activated lights to reduce electricity usage.

They also commit resources yearly to a global project supporting a coffee community in need, helping to support community projects at all ends of the globe.

As of 2022, the coffee farms have finished all their tasks and are moving on to the next project, which involves developing a water treatment plan for the shared Coffee Mill. This initiative supports the local coffee supply chain and contributes to combating climate change and preserving water resources.
