BJ's Coffee Roasters

BJ's Coffee Roasters was established in the late 1980s with early mentoring from Alfred Peet, the founder of Peet's Coffee & Tea. From its inception, the company was built on the fundamental brand promise of freshness and quality above all, a commitment that has remained unwavering for over three decades. The company specializes in hand-crafted coffees that are roasted daily to maximize freshness and quality. They employ traditional drum-style roasting methods, utilizing a rotating steel drum over a natural gas-fired flame. This artisan roasting technique provides their skilled roasters with exceptional flexibility and total control over the roasting process, allowing them to bring out the unique characteristics of each coffee origin and blend. BJ's Coffee Roasters operates with a meticulous approach to quality control and consistency. Their roasters are not only experts with the roasting equipment but also possess deep knowledge of how each blend and origin should smell and taste. While their classic drum roasters are connected to computers that monitor bean temperature, moisture levels, and other characteristics, the human element remains paramount. For each batch, roasters manually monitor, cup, and adjust for environmental factors and variables that even the strictest computer profiling cannot account for. The company is deeply committed to ethical sourcing and community support. They are proud supporters of Café Femenino, purchasing organic and fair-traded coffees that support determined women coffee producers. As part of their commitment to completing the circle of hope, they donate a portion of proceeds from Café Femenino coffee sales to Open House Ministries in Vancouver, Washington. Their sourcing philosophy emphasizes working with local importers who maintain direct relationships with the estates and cooperatives that produce their coffees. This approach ensures they can offer a diverse mix of the highest quality coffees while supporting sustainable and ethical practices throughout the supply chain. BJ's Coffee Roasters operates as a small, passionate team of coffee professionals who spend the majority of their time roasting and cupping coffee, and serving their wholesale customers. They pride themselves on providing excellent customer service and same-day shipping, with most coffee orders shipped within 24 hours of roasting. The company also supplies a full line of quality equipment and allied products to their wholesale customers. Customers are always welcome to visit their roastery to experience the coffee roasting process firsthand, reflecting the company's commitment to transparency and community engagement. Their reputation is built on flavor, freshness, and excellent service, making them a respected name in the specialty coffee industry.
