Blue Bottle Coffee
Blue Bottle Coffee Company is a coffee roaster and retailer headquartered in Oakland, California. The company focuses on single-origin beans.[1] They are notable for their dedication to coffee preparation, as expressed in their extensive brewing guides.
The company was originally based in Oakland, California but soon expanded to other areas. Blue Bottle expanded to several cafés at locations around San Francisco, including the Ferry Building and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's rooftop garden.[2] Blue Bottle opened its first New York location in 2010.[3] The company-owned stores carry off-menu items such as the "Gibraltar", a form of cortado.[2] San Francisco-based contemporaries include Four Barrel Coffee and Ritual Coffee Roasters, among others.[4] In 2012, Blue Bottle followed in the footsteps of previously independent roasters like Stumptown Coffee by taking $20 million in venture capital investment.[5]
Blue Bottle Coffee founder James Freeman will be a speaker at Techmanity,[6] a Silicon Valley technology and innovation conference produced by The Fast Company and IDG World Expo, this October 2014.
