Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Portland's Stumptown launched in 1999 when Duane Sorenson opened a cafe with a $15,000 loan and started roasting in the basement. Their Hair Bender blend and Holler Mountain single origin became cult favorites. Stumptown pioneered cold brew in a stubbies bottle before every gas station carried it. Even after acquisition by Peet's parent company, the roasting quality hasn't wavered.
