Bellwether Zero-Emissions Roaster
Zero emissions, fully electric coffee roaster. Truly in a class of its own. We are thrilled to have made the investment in this remarkable machine. 80% of our coffee roasted each week is from the Bellwether.

Community Impact
NOVEMBER SPOTLIGHT: THE CONTINGENT.
We continue to make FREE local deliveries and invest 10% of sales back into the community. This month we are pleased to partner with GREAT LIFE MENTORING: An award-winning, Research-Based Practice serving youth between the ages of 7 and 18 who have experienced trauma or face other circumstances that impact their everyday functioning. Great Life matches these children with a consistent, trustworthy adult to help them form healthy relationships and behaviors that can last a lifetime. We are so humbled and inspired by this organization!
Stock up with our 2 pound promotional bags. WE ARE SIMPLIFYING OUR PACKAGING TO BRING YOU FRESHLY ROASTED BEANS, TO YOUR DOORSTEP, AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE. Each brown bag delivery includes a custom drawing from the 9 and 10 year old Cunningham artists. It’s our simple, yet fun way to bring you a bit of joy in the form of energy and art.

Who We Support
Glencoe is our neighborhood school in Portland, Oregon. It’s our family’s pleasure to provide coffee to their staff in the break room and at school events throughout the year. We also sponsor a table at their annual auction! Glencoe is a school that promotes community and teaches inclusion, two things that matter greatly to Cunningham Coffee. They have a phenomenal staff and it's our joy to continue keeping Glencoe caffeinated!
We’ve been attending East Hill in downtown Gresham since 1993; Melisa even serves weekly as a teacher in their preschool classroom nowadays. East Hill Church honors love, grace, growth, and community-- all of which align with our core values at Cunningham Coffee. Our coffee is served on Sunday mornings to the volunteers in "kids zone". East Hill Church has given so much to our family and it's wonderful to find ways to give back.
Melisa Cunningham begin supporting Embrace Oregon as an "office parent" inside the Department of Human Services. This program partners with Every Child with a common mission to bring love, care, and support to children in foster care. Sean and Melisa both have a bleeding heart for children and hope to adopt or foster. For now, Cunningham Coffee provides gifts to volunteers and foster parents and we will continue to support them in future fundraising events. Cunningham Coffee aims to be impactful in the community and beyond, especially in the lives of children.
