Coava Coffee Roasters

Coava started the way the best roasters often do: in a garage, on a shoestring, with a big idea. Portland-based founder Matt Higgins bootstrapped his roasting business by repairing motorcycles, building his company around one core belief: that exceptional coffee starts long before the roast. "Coava" means unroasted, and that's the point. The roast is just the final chapter of a much longer relationship with the bean and the farmer behind it. Named best coffee roaster in Oregon by Tasting Table, and famously featured on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld's verdict was simple: "It's a reason to live here." In the cup, expect beautifully precise, origin-forward coffees roasted two ways: one profile for drip, one for espresso, to get the absolute best out of every bean. Start Here: The S.O. Blend, a select offering of Coava's top direct farm relationships in East Africa and South America. Creamy chocolate layer cake, toffee, a hint of bright fruit, and a pleasantly spicy finish. SO rich, SO chocolaty, SO delicious. Your new favorite coffee? Make it S.O.
