DOMA Coffee Roasting Company

DOMA Coffee Roasting Company roasts in Post Falls, Idaho.

Since 2000 · Terry Patano, Rebecca Patano

Overview

DOMA was founded in 2000 by husband-and-wife team Terry and Rebecca Patano, who started in a garage in the North Idaho Panhandle and named the company after their two sons, Dominic and Marco. The brand's vintage 'Man at the Beach' logo is a 1940s photo of Terry's father at Coeur d'Alene's Playland Pier, and the roastery built its early reputation on environmental commitments — Loring 'Lucky 13' Smart Roaster, recycled paper, vegetable inks, and Cooperative Coffees membership.

Known for

  • Idaho's first dedicated specialty coffee roaster
  • Loring Lucky 13 Smart Roaster (~80% less natural gas)
  • Cooperative Coffees member — full producer transparency
  • Family-built Coffee Lab interior with Rebecca's reclaimed-bike-wheel light fixtures
  • 100% organic certified sourcing

Why it matters

DOMA was North Idaho's first roaster taking specialty seriously when the Inland Northwest scene was still dominated by Seattle-shadow operations, and the Patanos built it on environmental discipline (Loring + recycled materials + toxin-free cleaning) at a time when those choices were a meaningful business cost rather than a marketing default.
