Kris Trimble is a professional barista
at Capitola Coffee.
He started getting into coffee
during undergrad days in Grand Junction, Colorado. Going
to cafes and trying different types of coffee started him on his
path. Kris started making french presses at home and it evolved
from there. He's always been drawn to coffee - the process,
the ritual, the time and intention put into the final product. From
studying Counseling Psychology in undergrad, to Marriage, Couples,
and Family Therapy in grad school - he always had his mind on
how slowness and sensory experience impacts our psyche.
Grad school at Lewis and Clark
eventually brought him to Portland. The hyper-local and intense
attention to detail he witnessed in Portland drew him in.
His first coffee job was part time at one of Portland's first
micro-roasters Kobos Coffee. After they were acquired by Groundwork
Coffee, he was promoted to Coffee Educator and Trainer. He fell in
love with this role and was stoked to be around other people that
are stoked about coffee! Since then, he's lived the dream and
feels it was his calling.
Capitola Coffee does cuppings and sells
fine retail coffee and provides a relaxing environment just across
the popular food carts on Mississippi. Go see Kris and order
coffee the way you like it and enjoy their beautiful shop.
