Press | Branching Out Into New Grounds

 

BEND, OR | Bend Bulletin by Ed Merriman | July 26, 2011 - The aroma of fresh-roasted coffee beans wafted through Sisters Coffee Company Monday morning as Winfield Durham opened the door on the 25-kilogram German-made Probat drum coffee roaster and poured the medium brown beans grown in Peru onto a drying tray. Durham, the co-founder of Sisters Coffee Company along with his wife, Joy, has been roasting coffee for 22 years. First, he sold his freshly roasted coffee out of a tiny location he called “the shack” in downtown Sisters. In 2005, the Durhams built a new 6,000-square-foot Sisters Coffee Company at 273 W. Hood Ave. in Sisters, and in 2008 they opened the “Outpost” at 635 Arrowleaf in Sisters. This spring, the Durhams branched out again with the opening of another Sisters Coffee Company location in Portland's Pearl District, at 12325 N.W. Marshall St.  (See full article here)

Sisters Coffee Guatemala Journey
Durhams go to Guatemalan source...
By Jeff Spry / Nugget News

(2/2/2010 - Sisters, OR) "It's all about the altitude," Justin Durham, of Sisters Coffee Co., remarked after returning last week from a coffee-buying adventure deep into the lofty mountains of Guatemala.



"When coffee grows at high altitude it ripens slower and creates better bean density and gives a more consistent, cleaner cup. High altitude equals high quality and it's something our customers have come to expect."

..."It was an incredible trip," said Durham. "We flew into Guatemala City and then took a five-hour van ride up into the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes mountains via the legendary Pan-American Highway and across the Continental Divide. Guatemala is extremely mountainous. It's a country the size of Tennessee, but if flattened out would be bigger than Texas. Eli Pyke shot some amazing documentary footage and interviews for us. He worked really hard." See full article...

Press | The Coffee Culture of Sisters, Oregon

 

(by Joseph Duerrmeyer, Nugget News 8/28/07)
...Sisters Coffee Company is the largest of the local operations and, for many, is an extension of home and office. Coffeenistas gather there for meetings, to work, to savor a cup and to just relax. Sisters Coffee Company is the only local company that follows the whole coffee making process through locally. The only thing the business does not do is grow its own coffee beans. "We are the only company that actually roasts coffee in Sisters. We have been doing it since 1989. In fact, we are one of the oldest roasters in Central Oregon," said Jared Durham, of Sisters Coffee Company... (See full pdf article here)

By Susan Springer, The Nugget News Correspondent

Jeff McDonald was named Citizen of the Year and Winfield and Joy Durham’s Sisters Coffee Co. was honored as Business of the Year at the annual Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce dinner on Thursday, February 9. Chamber members met at Eagle Crest Resort for an installation dinner to celebrate the Chamber’s 30th anniversary and to honor those who have made a difference in the Sisters community. The Business of the Year award winners were taken by surprise.
