    Stumptown Coffee Roasters begins their process with raw beans that are selected by poring over samples from all over the globe. Each sample gets sniffed, slurped up and vetted through silver spoons hundreds of times a day in our cupping laboratory. The delicate hand-picked seeds containing sugars and natural perfumes are roasted in our old-school, cast-iron German Probat machines. The Downtown cafe opened in April of 2003. It is situated in the old Pokerface location. In addition to our coffee products, you will also find a great variety of magazines to browse or purchase.
