Our Story

From green bean
to great cup.

Groundwork started in 2017 in a converted garage on Southeast Division. What began as a weekend roasting hobby became a neighborhood institution.

We source beans directly from farmers in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala — paying above fair-trade prices and building relationships that have lasted years, not seasons. Every bag is roasted within 48 hours of shipping.

What's brewing

Four single-origin offerings, rotated seasonally. Each one tells the story of the farm, the soil, and the hands that picked it.

Ethiopia · Yirgacheffe

Floral & Bright

Notes of bergamot, jasmine, and stone fruit. Light roast, washed process. A cup that tastes like a garden in bloom.

$18 250g
Colombia · Huila

Smooth & Sweet

Caramel sweetness, milk chocolate, and a clean walnut finish. Medium roast. The everyday crowd-pleaser.

$16 250g
Guatemala · Antigua

Full & Cocoa

Full-bodied with cocoa, brown sugar, and a whisper of orange zest. Medium-dark roast. Volcanic soil does that.

$17 250g
House Blend · Portland Dark

Bold & Syrupy

Dark chocolate, molasses, and a heavy body built for espresso. Our signature blend, roasted just past second crack.

$15 250g
Brew Guide

Brew it right.

A simple pour-over method we use in the shop every day. Four steps, one great cup.

01

Grind

Use a burr grinder for consistency. Medium-fine — somewhere between table salt and sand.

02

Measure

1:16 ratio. 15g of coffee to 240g of water. Weigh it. Eyeballing is for amateurs.

03

Pour

Start with a 30g bloom for 30 seconds. Then pour in slow, steady spirals until you hit 240g.

04

Enjoy

Best within 20 minutes of brewing. Taste it black before you add anything. Trust us.
