Equator Coffee Co.

Greg Roberts air-roasts in small batches out of a light-industrial warehouse on Grimes Street in West Eugene, and the operation runs wholesale-first. Bulk whole or ground beans ship same-day, the certification is organic, and the customer base is split between Eugene-area home brewers stocking up at lower-than-grocery prices and businesses ordering by the case. Free shipping on online orders. Greg handles customer service himself.

The Sumatra and the breakfast blend are the names to know. one customer specifically praised the espresso shot pulled from the espresso beans, which is a meaningful endorsement when the roast technique is air rather than drum. Single-origin bulk beans round out the line.

No cafe. No walk-in drinks. This is a roasting warehouse, full stop.

A recent review flagged a 9-day ship time and unresponsive cancellation requests, which is a problem if you need beans by a specific date and a non-issue if your home stash runs deep enough to absorb a slow week. Worth knowing before ordering. The right call for Eugene-area home brewers who want organic beans by the bulk pound, and for wholesale buyers who value air-roasting. Anyone needing fast online turnaround should set expectations or look elsewhere.
