We are fortunate to live in a town where a lot of excellent espresso is available. That said, we have tried a lot of different coffees and believe that Stumptown Coffee Roasters is the best in the region.

Stumptown Roasters is a local Portland company whose priority has always been to provide the best coffee possible. Stumptown is at the forefront of relationship coffee, cultivating strong, equitable relationships with their growers. More and more roasters talk about Direct Trade coffee, but not all of them genuinely connect with the farmers.

Many of Stumptown's coffees are certified Fair Trade and/or certified organic coffees. Even for many of their coffees that are not certified, Stumptown pays premium prices for the highest quality beans from plantations that provide their laborers with higher wages and a better work environment.

You can enjoy some of the best coffee and espresso in the world at CCP and feel good on every level. Coffee's history may be dark, colored by exploitation of native cultures and environmental degradation. However, current trends toward Fair Trade and better environmental stewardship are pushing the business in a more positive direction. We believe that we have found the future of coffee in Stumptown and we are confident that you'll agree.

We always have French Presses available to coffeeshop patrons, and we continue to offer coffee brewed in this method 'to go'. Each day, we brew one of our coffees in this fashion, which is available by the cup.
