Coffee By Design is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and it has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the Portland porn district. On Tuesday, the coffeehouse (CBD's fifth) connected to the new, huge roastery space in East Bayside opens its doors. It will be part-cafe, part-bean laboratory, with high tech brewing equipment and a focus on teaching customers about the nuances of what's in their mug. The roastery has new, ultra-efficient smokeless roasters that will allow the company to crank up production to two million pounds of coffee per year. Here, take a look:
