About Olympia Coffee Roasters
Community reputation · Reddit
Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100
Olympia Coffee Roasters is highly regarded by the coffee community for the quality of their beans, specifically their Morning Sun blend, which has been praised for its exceptional flavor and freshness. It is important to note that the name "Olympia" is frequently mentioned in Reddit threads regarding the "Olympia Cremina," a legendary vintage manual espresso machine; users should be careful to distinguish between the roaster and the equipment manufacturer when searching for community discussions. The roaster itself is viewed as a reliable source for high-quality, fresh-roasted coffee.
