Dapper & Wise

Dapper & Wise

Portland, OR

Putting the fun back in coffunfee

Curator's Notes

Dapper & Wise are arguably the friendliest coffee roasters in Portland, and possibly anywhere. Founded in 2013 by co-owners Evan Aldrete and Tyler Geel, their mission is refreshingly simple: source and roast the best coffees they can find, be very nice to everyone, and have fun while doing it. Their cafe is breezy and bright, their baristas are as eager to talk coffee as they are to brew it, and their roasting philosophy, thoughtful third-wave with a full spectrum of roast levels, makes specialty coffee genuinely accessible to everyone. As Evan puts it, they want to "put the fun back in cofunfee." We are here for it. In the cup, expect bright, flavorful, approachable coffees with a smile built right in.

Our goal at Dapper & Wise is to source and roast the best coffees we can find, to keep finding new ways to be a better employer and coffee buyer, to consistently offer the tastiest coffees, to be at minimum very nice to everyone we speak with, to teach our friends and customers about coffee in a friendly and un-pretentious way, and to have fun while we are doing all of those things.

"Excellent fruit forward taste without being to sour or acidic. I love a light roast fruity coffee, but many can be to sour, this is very well balanced. "

"smokyyyyy! For the dark toasty coffee lover, this one is for you. Definitely one to take a cup of and sink into a cozy sofa on a long relaxed evening break. As I was scooping the grounds I smelled tobacco, and as I sipped my cup of Bonfire I tasted the chocolate and graham crackers. I'd buy this one directly, so really happy it was revealed to me as a wonderful surprise in my first Bean Box subscription order! "

"This decaf is light on the palate with a good coffee mouthfeel, and no bitterness. Very few decafs can achieve this well. Very enjoyable as a warm morning comfort without the jitters. Drinks well alone or in a cappuccino."

"This coffee is good. Not a bad coffee by any means, but I was disappointed by strong marketing claims of being very fruity. The results which were nice, but I would not have deemed this coffee to have "fruit snack" level fruitiness. When looking for fruit snack flavors, I'd steer toward most any single origin natural process Ethiopia over this. Overall, though, it did have some lovely and light fruit flavors balanced over some nutty notes. Solid light roast. Lacking in the sweetness department. "

"Tastes good either as pour over or espresso. I think it's decent black, but tastes great when you add cream, milk, etc. "

"Slightly forgettable in terms of roast, but also reminded me a bit of Starbucks in the flavor profile. Unsure if I would order again transparently."
