Crema's Take
“You can watch your coffee being roasted right in front of you while the owner Sean walks you through his entire process with genuine expertise—this is coffee education happening in real time, not just a transaction. The generously poured samples and private tasting experiences make it clear Cunningham treats each visitor like someone worth converting into a serious coffee enthusiast, and the five-star reviews from Portland coffee nerds who've traveled far and wide to find their perfect roast speak volumes about what he's actually pulling off here.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

Sean is very knowledgeable about coffee and roasting. I have been all over Portland and beyond and have had difficulty finding coffee with the flavor profile that I enjoy most. Having roasted beans for around 15 years, I'm aware that flavors often change year to year from the…
We had such a great experience today at a private tasting and roasting with Sean!!! We got to try 6 different brews and chose our favorite to roast and take home with us. I loved the private 1 hour experience and being able to ask any and every question I had, even when we…
