The winners of the 13th Good Food Awards were announced last night in Portland, Oregon, with 16 coffee roasting companies given awards for their high-quality, sustainably sourced roasted coffees.
The awards program, which came to Portland for the first time after originating in San Francisco, has redefined its coffee criteria in recent years to include more diversity in terms of coffee’s origin and seasonality, while also reflecting regional diversity among its roaster winners in the United States.
Alongside comestible items such as charcuterie, pickles, cheese and spirits, coffee remains one of the awards program’s most popular categories.
This year’s program saw 237 winners in 18 categories, and the Good Food Foundation said “a majority” of the winners are small businesses, with less than $1 million in annual revenue.
Here are the 2023 Good Food Award winners for coffee (in no particular order):
