Roast magazine announced its 2020 Roaster of the Year winners included Portland-based Coffee By Design in the macro roaster category.

This is the 16th year for Roast magazine’s Roaster of the Year awards. The submission process to be considered Roaster of the Year is comprehensive, with a written portion and a coffee submission portion, each professionally judged by the publication and members of the coffee industry.

Roast said in a prepared release that Coffee By Design is “growing their business with a focus on sustainable practices, quality standards, and social responsibility. The company has put a focus on sharing their knowledge and excitement about coffee, creating living-wage jobs with ample growth potential and training opportunities for its employees.”

Roast magazine awards its top honor in two categories: Micro Roaster of the Year, for companies roasting fewer than 100,000 pounds of coffee each year; and Macro Roaster of the Year, for companies roasting more than 100,000 pounds annually. Coffee By Design won in the macro roaster category with an output of 650,000 pounds. The micro roaster is based in San Diego.

The winning coffees submitted were the company’s birthday blend, 1994, the Costa Rica Tarrazu La Minita “Lilo” Anaerobic Fully Washed and the Burundi Kayanza Kibingo Washing Station Natural.
