What to do with all those cold brew stubbies

Stumptown's Grand Cru Cupping

This is why we love working with Stumptown. Matt Brown and Skip Colombo came down packing five Grand Cru coffees from their new coffee release for us to cup. 


Minds were blown. 


These are some of the best coffees in the world, and we feel so privileged to be able to taste them. The astonishing care behind El Injerto's Peaberry, the surprising single side of the spectrum La Cima brought as a micro-lot of a coffee we know well, the gorgeous complexity of the Gaturiri, the crowning achievement of El Salvador's coffee rock star, Aida's Grand Reserve, and the fabeled Esmeralda.


It's coffees like these that will push the limits and change the face of our industry.

Broadway Coffeehouse Serving Single Origin Espresso - October

Here it is, our second Robur E!

Jacob and Nick, showing off the new setup. Pulling a single origin espresso option all day every day!

Matt Brown, playing Santa Claus. Delivering our swanky new grinder. Christmas came early!

Good thing we've got skills.

Yup. Pulling two coffees as espresso. This has really pushed us to improve our skill as baristas. We now have to be dialed in to taste on two different espressos at all times.

This is my angry face.

Tastings, tastings, and more coffee tastings.

Cate, Justin, and Karyn. And a mountain of coffee.

August at Broadway Coffeehouse

The Sith Lord Justin and his coffee tasting

Public use books and games

Compare and contrast: Siphon, Chemex, and Beehouse

Sending Liam off right! He bought a whole home brew setup. We'll miss you, man! Continue to rock amazing coffee in Portland.

Modding our Hario Kettles to accomodate thermometers.

What to do with the old portafilters? Create bottomless, of course. Steve Emerson working his shop magic to mod this beauty.

One basket to rule them all. Invested in La Marzocco's new portafilters! These things are amazing. Enabling us to pull even better espresso.

July at Broadway Coffeehouse

From July:

Justin and Kira got married!!

Tested and launched iced pour overs.

Said goodbye to barista extraordinaire, Hannah Capell-soon-to-be-Reid. Proud of her as she continues to be a freaking awesome barista and bring top tier coffee to downtown Bellevue at the up-and-coming Cafe Cesura.

Started brewing with and selling the siphon pot.

This was a month full of collaboration at Broadway Coffeehouse. Denny Peseau from Victrolla and Ian Levine from Verve gave us bags of coffee, continued relationship with Doma, learned from Zoka barista, Aaron Reid, and of course, were mentored by our friends and roasting company, Stumptown.

June at Broadway Coffeehouse

June has been a fun month for us. Here are a couple pictures from this month's coffee adventures:

Cate, Hannah, and Daniel dialing in some single origin espresso. We launched Single Origin Saturdays this month - every Saturday we dial in a coffee from a single geographical origin as espresso. This has been so much fun and has added to our skill - how do you accentuate the sweetness? how do you bring out more brightness? what do you change to increase complexity? Espresso is such a intricate and delicate drink, and we are excited to work to understand the science and art of it. 

Nick, brewing up with a Chemex. This is what we're doing every chance we get. Perfecting brew methods, learning the stories of farms, developing our pallets, and nerding out.

Hannah and Liam showing off the new generation Kone. Coava Coffee Roasters out of Portland just pre-released this rework of their reusable metal filter. We have been working with their first model, and so Coava sent us a free gen two before it went public for us to test out. The guys at Coava are rad! Love that third wave coffee is so interconnected!

Justin and I hosting a Tuesday coffee tasting. Here we highlighted a coffee grown by Arturo Agurrie, roasted by Stumptown, and brewed using Coava's new generation Kone. We do free tastings every Tuesday at 4pm.
