Company Profile
Every legend has a beginning. Ours was forged in the murky depths of the basement grunge rock scene, by skate culture nomads and early adopters of the Seattle coffee frenzy. Espresso Parts developed a scrappiness and self-determination that would define a generation. Today we survive as coffee geeks of fortune continuing our journey within the coffee community!
Since 1993, Espresso Parts has supplied cafe owners, baristas, and home brewers the best products and service available. Masters of the specialty coffee universe, we are a dynamic team with the sole purpose of providing the best customer service experience, period! With a wholehearted commitment to the customer experience, we do everything possible to build long-lasting relationships while ensuring the highest quality product and best service! Without you, our amazing customers, we would not be able to do what we love every day, and for that, we are eternally grateful!
Our Commitment to Community Begins at Home
Espresso Parts truly believes in the power of our Core Values! Every year we reflect on our Core Value #7: Give Back ~ build community, recognize others, be humble.
We’ve been fortunate to offer a very robust employment package to our Espresso Parts Team, which includes; Full Medical Coverage; Full Dental Coverage; Full Vision Coverage; Full AD&D Coverage; Extensive Paid Time Off; Paid Holidays; Living Wages; Bus Passes; and always the best free coffee on hand! While we are proud to offer this coverage, we always ask what can we do to ensure a healthy community for our employees and families to thrive for generations to come!
Each year we take great steps to help become a force for good within our community! We are contributing to the following organizations and supporting projects which are designed to help improve our local community and greater coffee community:
-
Espresso Parts always buys Green Power. Through Puget Sound Energy we buy electricity from independent clean-energy producers right here in our region. These businesses generate electricity from wind, sun, biogas and other renewable sources.
-
We support The Puget Soundkeeper Alliance. They are a Seattle organization that has an immediate impact on reducing trash on beaches, toxic heavy metals, and bacteria on shellfish beds. They are working to save salmon runs, working to reduce coal dust and cleaning up the Puget Sound, one pipe at a time!
-
We support South of The Sound Community Farmland Trust, Their mission, to promote vibrant local food and farming systems through community supported farmland preservation strategies, educational outreach, and partnerships that increase opportunities for farms and farmers to flourish.
-
We support GRuB Olympia, their mission, to inspire positive personal and community change by bringing people together around food and agriculture. They partner with youth and people with low-incomes to create empowering individual & community food solutions.
-
We support Thurston County Bicycle Commuter Contest, a fun, engaging community event that encourages Thurston County residents of all ages and abilities to try bicycling as a means of transportation.
- We support Save Farmland. The Save Farmland Fund is a collaboration to protect and promote small farmers in Montana’s Flathead Valley. We acquire and protect farmland, and then offer programs for young farmers to thrive on the land.
This is our effort to ensure a happy healthy future for our community, and our people! We encourage you, our suppliers, customers, industry colleagues, and friends to support and encourage ways to give back within your communities through local and regional organizations.
Fun Facts:
-
In 2022, we purchased over 20,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy, lowering our business carbon footprint by 19,500 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s the equivalent of planting 250 trees.
-
Annually we recycle approximately 50,000 lbs of corrugated cardboard, 9,400 lbs of co-mingled recyclables (office paper, plastic bottles, and metal cans) and 1,000 lbs of various scrap metals.
-
Luckily, even our trash goes to a Green facility! Roosevelt Regional Landfill is a state-of-the-art operation. Each year, Roosevelt creates enough energy to power more than 20,000 homes by capturing and converting methane gas from garbage to electricity.
-
All Espresso Parts shipping materials are recyclable, reusable, or compostable. Plus we offset the carbon it takes to ship your order! No joke!
As always, thank you for your support and continued patronage! Cheers to our continued success in creating an environment that supports healthy People & Planet!
