Camber Coffee was established in 2015 in Bellingham, Washington, following a late-night conversation between three friends and certified Q-graders: Andrew Bowman, David Yake, and Todd Elliott. The company roasts its coffee in Bellingham, where it also operates a flagship cafe that opened in 2017. The name Camber refers to the unique roast curve applied to each coffee to highlight its inherent sweetness and complexity. The roaster is documented for its rigorous quality control, including the practice of cupping every batch, and has received multiple accolades, including being named the best coffee roaster in Washington state by Food & Wine magazine.

Original roaster or listing source

We do not convert them into original tasting scores or brand-wide star ratings. Our independent reviews are published separately after a coffee has actually been brewed and evaluated.

I verified the brand's flagship cafe and official online store, as well as two major specialty coffee marketplaces that carry their products; while the brand mentions wholesale partners, specific current retail locations for those partners were not consistently verifiable as active points of sale for retail bags.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Nov 1, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-04. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand provides extensive information on their sourcing philosophy and specific farm partners, a comprehensive list of every current sourcing country was synthesized from their rotating product offerings rather than a single static list.
