Boyd Coffee Company comes from a time and a place where utility mattered. In 1900, New Zealand immigrant Percival Dewe Boyd got to work selling coffee in Portland, Oregon. Back then, a good cup of coffee was both a reward for good work, done well; and a kick in the pants to get back out there and do some more. The coffee bestowed no status and made no statement. Percival figured that people could make their own statements. We still think so today.
Today, Boyd’s is the longest-operating coffee roaster in the Pacific Northwest, still led by the Boyd family.
