Stamp Act Coffee is one of the beloved local roasters we follow in Washington: an independent roaster based in Seattle, founded in 2018. Here is what their own pages and public sources say about them, in our words.
Their story
Andrew Kent, a Seattle native, opened the roaster in 2018 after living with growers in Ethiopia, starting a roasting business in Singapore and working as a barista in Australia. The company roasts to a lighter profile with espresso and milk drinks in mind, and roasts three days a week. The name recalls the British tax on the American colonies, and the company notes that the revolution that followed helped coffee replace tea as the national drink.
Kent's aim was to come home to Seattle and bring what he learned abroad to the local scene, offering light single origins and seasonal blends.
What they roast
Roast levels run light. House blends include Spinnaker Blend, Old School, Milk Money, Regina and Summer Break. Single origins on the list when we checked: Fredy Orantes Natural Gesha, Guatemala, Mwendi Wega Peaberry, Kenya, Bochessa Natural, Ethiopia, San Lucas Zoquiapam, Oaxaca, Mexico, Diego Ramirez, Huehuetenango, Guatemala, Ayla Shantawene, Ethiopia and San Coffee Peaberry, Brazil. Decaf: Condor EA Decaf, Tolima, Colombia. Offerings change with the seasons, so this is what their own pages listed on 2026-09-28.

Why buying from Stamp Act Coffee matters here
The logo reworks Benjamin Franklin's snake cartoon of the colonies, swapping the colony initials for the seven hills of Seattle. Its wholesale team says it has coached barista competitors up to World Barista Championship level and helps cafes with pricing, menus, equipment and bar layout. One promotion gave $3 from each 12 ounce bag of Burundi coffee to Trees for Kibira, a Long Miles Coffee Project effort to plant 15,000 seedlings in Kibira National Forest. The blog also runs reviews of other cafes, such as Woodland Coffee and Harry's Fine Foods.
Every bag bought from a Seattle roaster pays roasting and cafe wages in Washington, and the coffee reaches you days after roasting instead of months. That is the reason the club exists. Why local roasters matter.
