Colombia Los Molinos is sourced from the Huila region at 1700-1800 meters altitude. This fully washed coffee features Castillo, Caturra, Colombia, and Typica varieties, dried inside solar dryers for weather protection. The coffee presents prominent notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and orange with a full body and medium acidity. It is approachable and versatile, brewing excellently through drip, cold brew, espresso, and french press methods.
Elevator Coffee was founded in 2016 by Jay Sycip and Andrew Coe in Portland, Oregon. Coe, the head roaster and coffee buyer, won the 2023 U.S. Coffee Roasting Championship and placed third at the World Coffee Roasting Championships in Taipei the same year. The roastery previously operated a cafe in SE Portland until Fall 2020, then pivoted to a wholesale and online model, roasting to order and shipping weekly. A 96 point Coffee Review score ranks it among the top roasters in the Northwest. The ethos is summed up in a tagline: roasted by nerds, not snobs.
