Arctos Coffee and Roasting Co.

We are very proud of our humble beginnings here at Arctos Coffee. One person, an old 8 X 10 drafty garden shed, a small propane drum roaster and a very strong desire to roast amazing coffee. That was the dream! The roasting facility (if it can really be called that) was sweltering in the summer and freezing in the winters here in the Northwest. There were a small number of days when the “Roasting Shed” as we so creatively named it, was bearable and roasting coffee was actually a pleasurable endeavor. After many, many rolls of weather stripping, duct tape and whatever else we could find to stuff in the cracks to keep the weather out, we realized how deeply passionate we were about every aspect of the coffee roasting process. The next step became very clear…a commercial space was needed (WooHoo heating & air conditioning!!!!) in order to expand our roasting business and start sharing the love with more of our local community!
