A washed coffee from Costa Rica's Santa Maria de Dota region, sourced from Hacienda La Minita at elevation 1200-1900 meters. Produced from Caturra and Catuai varieties using traditional washed processing. This classic Costa Rican coffee features flavor notes of orange, milk chocolate, and raisin with a balanced, approachable profile.
Elevator Coffee was founded in 2016 by Jay Sycip and Andrew Coe in Portland, Oregon. Coe, the head roaster and coffee buyer, won the 2023 U.S. Coffee Roasting Championship and placed third at the World Coffee Roasting Championships in Taipei the same year. The roastery previously operated a cafe in SE Portland until Fall 2020, then pivoted to a wholesale and online model, roasting to order and shipping weekly. A 96 point Coffee Review score ranks it among the top roasters in the Northwest. The ethos is summed up in a tagline: roasted by nerds, not snobs.
