Sterling Coffee Roasters
Pearl DistrictMicro-batch roastery cafe on NW 21st — polished espresso, meticulous extraction, and beans that travel well beyond Oregon.
The order
A straight espresso or cortado pulled from their own roast, and if you're buying beans, the Blendo Stupendo — their cocoa-and-caramel house blend — or whatever single-origin (Kenya, Peru, Rwanda) is rotating on the shelf.
