Weekend Coffee Roasters: Steve, Avery, And The Mornings That Bring Us Together

During the pandemic, Steve and his daughter Avery got to brewing. What started as time spent exploring coffee together grew into a family-wide business, shaped by the people and conversations around it.

For Weekend Coffee Roasters, coffee is the cozy morning with family and the conversation with a friend, old or new. The bag is part of something bigger: an everyday reason to slow down and connect.

A Weekend Project With Room To Grow

The family started at home in Albany, Oregon, then expanded into a small storefront in their garage. They affectionately called it their driveway café, a neighborhood beginning with a distinctly personal welcome.

In the account Steve shares, it took less than five months to move from that homegrown setting into roasting for other shops as well as their own. The pace surprised them, and they credit the community’s encouragement as part of what made it possible.

The former driveway café later became a place for fulfilling online orders. The business changed shape, but the family story stayed at its center.

Roasting With Intention

Weekend describes itself as a small-batch specialty roastery, with coffee roasted to order in the Pacific Northwest. Freshness is a central part of its philosophy, alongside choosing a roast profile that suits the beans and the cup they want to create.

Their wider approach spans bright light roasts, balanced middle profiles, and deeper dark roasts. In our current collection, signature blends offer a straightforward way to begin, while Tanzania Peaberry provides a distinct origin-led option.

A Family’s Values, Beyond The Cup

Responsible sourcing matters to the family. Steve describes a faith-informed desire to use the business’s influence thoughtfully, including research into specialty coffees from more than thirty countries.

The brand also describes Fair Trade and organic options within its wider lineup, and recyclable packaging as a priority. Those are product-specific details to check on the current bag, rather than certifications to assume for every coffee below.

Tanzania Peaberry: Explore An Origin

The Tanzania listing identifies Mbeya and Songwe, washed processing, and a peaberry format. A peaberry develops as a single seed within the coffee cherry, rather than the usual pair.

Its described cup has medium body and mild acidity, with dark chocolate, black currant, plum, and chamomile notes. Choose among the roast and grind options offered on the product rather than assume one fixed profile.

A Decaf Place In The Routine

The collection also includes Colombia: Sugarcane Decaf, with Valle del Cauca named as the region and a medium-body, mild-acidity description.

Decaf offers another way to enjoy the ritual, but it is not a caffeine-free promise. If the specific decaffeination process matters to your choice, confirm it before buying, since the current listing gives conflicting method descriptions.

Why We Carry Weekend Coffee Roasters

We appreciate a story that begins with a father and daughter doing something together, then grows without losing that sense of welcome. The driveway café, the family’s expanding roles, and Albany’s support give the roastery its character.

The current collection makes exploring approachable, from signature roast directions to an origin-led peaberry and a decaf option. Find a coffee that fits your morning, and make a little time for the people around the table.
