Broadcast Coffee Roasters

Seattle, WA

Curator's Notes

Broadcast's owner and roaster Barry Faught is known for his three cafes across Seattle—light, airy, friendly shops that make great coffee easy and unintimidating. He began with a curated selection of coffees from local roasters, but the game changed when Barry began roasting his own beans in order to have more control over the coffee he serves.

From the Roaster

Barry Faught hails from the expansive farm fields and deep blue skies of Idaho. His father, Bill Bailey, was a radio DJ and local celebrity in Boise. After college, Barry ended up in the family business of broadcasting, but his yearning for independence and adventure eventually led him to the evergreen city of Seattle. The big city was full of great music, delicious food, inclusive communities, eco-friendly living, and so many coffee shops. Visiting cafes went from hobby to obsession. In 2008, Broadcast Coffee opened its first cafe on Yesler and 20th, named in honor of his dad’s lifelong passion for radio. The goal from the get-go was to spread love and acceptance through hospitality and delicious drinks. Our logo was created with a subtle nod to our values, our history, and the positive future we’re working to foster. Broadcast sources boutique coffees from family farms and cooperatives. We purchase coffee equitably and value building relationships over profit, affording us rare and delicious options year round. We roast for balance and sweetness with a focus on consistency offering a dark roast, a few light roasts, and a lot of medium roasts. Like a great bar, there’s something for everyone. ​Barry is living the dream with three cafes, a bakery, a stellar roasting team, and a growing community of friends, baristas, and business owners who drink and serve Broadcast coffee.

"This is a very smooth coffee that is on the lighter side of medium. We've decided that we're more dark roast types and appreciate a more robust flavor profile. Very pleasant for a medium roast. "

"Very good coffee. Tastes of sweet, sour, spice, and something like baked fruit."

"Upon first try - Drank two cups in a row because this is so yummy and smooth! Milk chocolate is the primary flavor, with maybe a little nutty finish. I can detect just a touch of the orange promised; no cinnamon, but I don't miss it. This medium brew is glorious with some oat milk!"

"Ooo, I really enjoyed this. I received it just as the weather was starting to cool down and this cozy coffee was a delight to have in the morning. Semi-sweet chocolate with baking spices. No bitterness or sour notes. I would get this again."
