Our story began in the 70s, when the Stewart Brothers started brewing bold, smooth coffee on Seattle’s Pier 70. We were then known as the Wet Whisker, and brewed our cups in a 12-lb peanut roaster. As our business grew, we decided to put ourselves to the test – entering a local taste test competition to find the best tasting coffee in Seattle. Our bold, smooth tasting coffee won, and we then cheekily changed our name to “Seattle’s Best Coffee”.
