Caffe Lusso Roastery

Curator's Notes

Philip Meech has been in the Seattle coffee world since 1994, and in 2000 talked his dad into converting part of the family garage into a roastery. Within a year he won a tasting competition. Within two, he outgrew the garage. Caffè Lusso has been pioneering direct trade sourcing ever since, building relationships with farmers that now span more than 15 years. Philip's approach is rooted in Italian coffee tradition: Lusso means "luxury," and every coffee is hand-roasted to highlight the unique nuances each farm has to offer. We're proud to be long-time partners with Philip and the Lusso team. In the cup, expect beautifully crafted blends and single origins with a dessert-like richness and real depth of flavor.

From the Roaster

Fastidious selection of small estate and micro-lot coffees, hand-roasted by mindful artisans to accentuate every origin’s unique nuances. With this approach, we showcase brilliant clarity in the cup, with the hope that every single sip is truly memorable. As the Eastside’s oldest micro-roaster, we have been pioneering the Direct-Trade model of sourcing since 2001. One of our core values is connecting directly with growers, so that together we may produce the best possible coffee. Good results don’t happen by accident. We have no alchemy. No secret process with a fancy name. We just start with the best green coffee in the world and carefully steward it through the roasting process
