Our Story

In 2013, Justin happened into a tiny store on Mississippi Avenue in Portland, Oregon. Walls lined with jars of green coffee beans from around the globe and several contraptions designed for everything from roasting, grinding, and brewing coffee fascinated him immediately. Thanks to a very enthusiastic owner, Justin bought a couple pounds of green beans and brought them home to start experimenting. We’ll admit, the first few roasts in the cast iron skillet weren’t the greatest, but he was determined. Eventually we were gifted a Fresh Roast SR-500 roaster and Justin fine-tuned his craft. We knew that we wanted to share our coffee so we started small, distributing to friends and family. With their great reviews, we decided that all people should have the opportunity to enjoy freshly roasted, specialty coffee. Which led us to create CFCS in 2019.

We roast in Valencia County, NM now, far away from where our love for amazing coffee began in Portland. And that perhaps is best thing about it- that we can bring delicious, fresh roasted coffee to our small rural community. We love meeting new people and introducing them to the way coffee is meant to be enjoyed- fresh, local, and full of natural flavors brought out by excellent roasting.

We still provide coffee to our friends and family, but now, when you order coffee from us, you become part of the Chavez Family too.

For the love of coffee and community- Brittany & Justin Chavez
