About Public Domain Coffee
Public Domain Coffee is a special place for coffee lovers in Portland. It was started in 2010 by Coffee Bean International (CBI). Before this, it was known as Portland Coffee House.
What Makes This Coffee Shop Special?
Public Domain Coffee is like a "showcase cafe" for CBI. This means it's a place where they show off their best coffee and brewing methods. They are especially known for "pour-over" coffee. This is a way of making coffee by slowly pouring hot water over coffee grounds.
The name "Public Domain" has a special meaning. It comes from the company's goal. They want to make amazing coffee and share their love for coffee with everyone.
What People Say About Public Domain
When it first opened, a writer named Hanna Neuschwander described Public Domain. She said it was a carefully designed coffee shop for high-quality coffee.
The travel guide Lonely Planet calls Public Domain a "swanky downtown outlet." They also mention its "shiny high-end espresso machines." These machines help make really good coffee.
Another writer, Rachel Dresbeck, wrote about the coffee shop in her guide to Portland. She said Public Domain has "beautifully roasted single-origin varieties." This means they use coffee beans from one specific place. They also use a "state-of-the-art Slayer espresso" machine. This is a very advanced machine for making espresso.
