Where the Columbia Gorge's coffee is roasted

Hood River, Maupin and the long road east to Baker City.

Coffee in the Gorge and the east

Hood River has four roasters in the Roast Local directory, and tiny Maupin, on the Lower Deschutes River, has three. One of them, Maupin Coffee Co, is a women-owned roaster that air-roasts organic beans to order in 5 lb batches. Farther east, The Dalles, Pendleton, La Grande and Baker City each have a roaster of their own. Multnomah Coffee Club shares its name with Multnomah Falls, in the Gorge, and sends a bag from a different Oregon roaster in every box.

Roasters in the Gorge and Eastern Oregon, by town

Hood River

Roast Local lists Ground Coffee Hood River, Hood River Coffee Roasters, Pacific Rim Coffee Roasters and Stoked Roasters. We could not find a published history for any of them, so Hood River shares this page.

Maupin

Maupin Coffee Co, a women-owned roaster on the Lower Deschutes that air-roasts organic beans to order. Roast Local also lists Bold Coffee Roasters and Holy Roasters Coffee under Maupin.

Mosier and The Dalles

One roaster each in the Roast Local directory.

Eastern Oregon

Pendleton, Heppner, Boardman, La Grande and Baker City each have one roaster listed on Roast Local.

In a town with one roaster, that roaster lasts as long as the town buys from it. A bag from Pendleton or Baker City keeps that business and its wages in town. Read why local roasters matter.

The Gorge's coffee story

The clearest story in the region comes from Maupin. Maupin Coffee Co roasts on the Lower Deschutes River, is owned by women, and air-roasts in 5 lb batches, roasting each order when it comes in. Its beans are organic. Maupin is a small river town, and it still has three roasters in the directory.

The Gorge also shapes the club's first year. Year one of Multnomah Coffee Club runs along the Columbia River Gorge: each of the first twelve boxes is named for a waterfall, starting at Fairy Falls and ending at Multnomah Falls, the twelfth stop. The coffee in those boxes comes from roasters all over Oregon. The names come from here.
