  „   This topic has come up time and time again, wherever and whenever I meet baristi. This past September in Portland, Ore., Stumptown Coffee Roasters hosted a single-origin party. We sampled different origins roasted by Stumptown and Intelligentsia of Chicago. It was such a great communal experience to hear everyone unearthing their passion for good coffee as shots of origins made their way through Stumptown’s cupping room.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee Awakenings

  „Now, this brings us to my move back home, to Portland, Oregon. This is important, because it was in Portland that I discovered the amazing experience of Stumptown Coffee Roasters. I have explained how much I love coffee, but I was never obsessed with coffee until I first tasted Stumptown. The first café opened while I was away and it took a while for me to discover what I was missing.“

Tea & Coffee 05/03 - Getting the Skinny on Sample Roasters: Part I

  „Then, one roaster manufacturer posed this question: “Do these small machines really produce a decent enough roast to help determine a green sample’s worth?” It all comes down to that. In response, listed below are some new sample roasters that just might help in the green coffee buying decision. For the record, in my opinion, not one of these machines has the kind of variable settings that would qualify them as a commercial roaster. But, the point of this article is to determine if they could assist in finding a great coffee.“

It's All About Coffee

  „Thomas customer expressed to this reporter, "Anything to avoid the coffee line in the morning is worth it." According to Geof Smith, owner of St. Thomas Roasters, these cards have a dollar value of $35 but when you consider the amount of time customers will save by not having to wait in the coffee line each morning, the actual value in time saved will certainly exceed this out of pocket expense. Cardholders will be entitled to unlimited consumption of coffee restricted to one cup at a time during open hours from Monday through Saturday. Each card is valid for a period of 30 days from the purchase date and not transferrable.“
