About Us

Elevator Coffee was established in 2016. We operated a cafe in inner SE Portland until Fall 2020, and have an award winning coffee roasting business, currently selling online and as wholesale.

Our core values are high quality, attention to details, acting with integrity and transparency, and professional service without pretense. We take pride in being geeks, not snobs, and our high level of friendly service reflects that ethos. Finally, we continually work to improve ourselves and our products.

The team includes Andrew Coe, Jarrod Smith Aaron Coe, and Emma Nolley. Andrew and Jarrod met through Buckman Coffee Factory and Jarrod Joined the team in 2021, and took part ownership from Jay SyCip in 2026.

We also sell the coffee gear we like to use at home to our web store. We currently carry products from Baratza, Acaia, Able Brewing, Ratio, and Fellow.

We’d love to be a part of your coffee routine, whether that’s with cream and sugar, or as a shot of espresso.
