you'll need some coffee in the morning to get you started after the long weekend, whether you were dossing in lament of the passing summer and are heading back to the grind or if our time off found you selflessly working at plying us workadays with caffeine and alcohol. a solid source inside the company tells us that courier coffee has started roasting for billy wilson. stumptown coffee's comeuppance is long overdue, and though wilson also sources from intelligentsia and ritual (and a 33g handful of other wide cast micro-roasters), wethinks that this move bodes well for the rose city's real local roasters. owner joel domreis has been busy with the new cafe, leaving alex geddes at the helm of courier's roaster. so far, no complaints.
joel could be said to have followed in wilson's footsteps after recently buying jeff heisler and robin rosenberg's half & half cafe at 923 sw oak, wilson having purchased that duo's second venture on 13th in the pearl last year (or thereabouts). a good faith gesture on wilson's part, then? or is the city just craving more courier?
who can say just yet. but. spotted: billy wilson gloomily presiding over a nearly empty house at barista alberta. the tides and times do change. drink up, ladies. the morning is young.
