Our favorite paragraph from the BMag post: “Get out of the suburbs of Portland a bit, into the winding green hills of the Willamette Valley, and you’ll find a coffee company that’s consistently doing good, producing quality coffee, and doing it all without a hint of the snobbery that the coffee industry so often engenders. Caravan Coffee, led by owner Pete Miller, recently held its second Barista Show-Down in collaboration with the American Barista and Coffee School.”
