Sisters Coffee

Established in 1989, Sisters Coffee has a long and intimate story. Our "Mountain Roasted" coffee is roasted at 3,200 ft., near the base of the Cascade Mountain range in Sisters, OR. We roast at this high altitude and in small batches to ensure an excellent cup of coffee. We take pride in the ability to ship and deliver a newly created product to our retail, wholesale, and mail order customers each day. "I started out roasting, packaging, and delivering myself," he says, nostalgically thinking back to when he first opened Sisters Coffee Co. over two decades ago with an L 5 (5 kilograms, about 11 pounds) Probat. "I quickly upgraded to an L 12 as demand grew... and now we have an L 25." In the old days, we did everything out of a 600 sq. ft. shop. From roasting to packing to serving espresso, the old shop was a quaint and vintage outpost for coffee. Smoke came out of a small chimney to give Sisters a constant aroma of fresh roasted coffee. "And I didn't even charge for that," Winfield says with grin. Often, if it was a dark roast, smoke filled the shop as well. The current roasting site built in 2005, virtually overlaps the old shop. It has more space and the smoke is processed through an afterburner.
