Coffee By Design

Founded in 1994 in downtown Portland, Maine, Coffee By Design operates as both a coffeehouse and a roastery. The company emphasizes its role as a community coffee company, maintaining a presence on Diamond Street that serves as a hub for local engagement. Their operations include roasting coffee and providing educational resources on origins, roast levels, and brewing methods. The roaster offers a diverse selection of products, including single-origin coffees such as Colombia Pink Bourbon and Rwanda Nyamasheke Gasharu, alongside various espresso blends. Beyond their retail presence, they maintain a wholesale program that distributes their handcrafted coffee to businesses throughout Maine and beyond. The company is committed to transparency and quality, adhering to industry standards in their roastery and retail operations. They also engage in community support through initiatives like the Rebel Blend Fund and maintain direct relationships with farm partners to source their coffee offerings.
