ON THE BANKS OF THE WILLAMETTE RIVER IN PORTLAND OREGON'S SOUTHEAST INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, WATER AVENUE COFFEE ROASTERS, FOUNDED BY INDUSTRY PIONEERS, BEGAN ROASTING COFFEE IN SMALL BATCHES IN THE WINTER OF 2009.
Seizing the moment in 2009, WAC purchased a vintage, French-built 1974 Samiac roaster from a company in Switzerland, and set about building a new business around it. Having dozens of years experience in training and consulting in the specialty coffee industry, Bruce and Matt saw a great opportunity also to develop and showcase a retail and roasting business in same building as the American Barista & Coffee School, and share with new Water Avenue Coffee customers the decades of combined experience to offer an unsurpassed level of support.
Authentic to Portland and Pacific Northwest
Water Avenue Coffee is all about supporting our local community and embracing the city of Portland. 90% or more of our coffee that we roast is hand delivered to our great partners within a 50 mile radius of our roastery. We believe in environmental, social and economic stewardship, and maintaining a local focus is a big part of what makes Water Avenue special.
