Description and history

Public Domain Espresso

Coffee Bean International (CBI) opened Public Domain in 2010, following a rebrand of Portland Coffee House. The coffee shop serves as CBI's "showcase cafe" and specializes in pour-over coffee, according to Grant Butler of The Oregonian. The name is derived from the business' mission, which is "to roast exceptional coffees and cultivate a passion for coffee among the public".

In 2010, Hanna Neuschwander of Willamette Week described Public Domain as "exactly what you'd expect of a carefully, but cautiously designed corporate coffeehouse for high-quality coffee". Lonely Planet describes Public Domain as "a swanky downtown outlet with shiny high-end espresso machines, owned by long-time indie roasters". In her Insiders' Guide to Portland, Oregon, Rachel Dresbeck said Public Domain has "beautifully roasted single-origin varieties and a state-of-the-art Slayer espresso".
