Aubrey Mills
6+ years experience as Coffee Taster, Wholesale Director, barista and Coffee Quality Director.
Aubrey Mills is steeped in coffee. Not literally, of course, but since 2013, she’s been preparing and tasting coffee for a career. Initially as a barista at the Portland, OR Insomnia Coffee and Dapper & Wise, her job was to stay on top of quality and help customers find coffees they were excited about. This involved tasting all the coffees they’d be serving that day, dialing in espresso or approve a drip recipe.
She soon became Director of Wholesale at Dapper & Wise, where she regularly cupped at quality control cuppings with the team, hosted cuppings for the public and trained wholesale partners on proper coffee preparation. In the role of helping to maintain Dapper & Wise’s menu of diverse flavor profiles, roast levels and processing methods, Aubrey also visited coffee producing countries. She says, “Traveling to origin and experiencing the beginning of the coffee journey has given me greater perspective for how many variables can impact flavor in the final cup.”
Along with her on-point palate and killer coffee know-how, Aubrey brings creativity, sparkle and grace to everything she does, actively looking for opportunities to showcase the value of specialty coffee and address sustainability issues in the industry.

"A wonderfully, well-rounded cup of coffee, offering both exciting and comforting flavors. I taste chocolate covered candied orange and dulce de leche. "

Boxcar Coffee Roasters
Boxcar was started in 2010 by husband and wife team Vajra and Cara Rich with the goal of building a world class roasting company in their small hometown of Boulder, Colorado. To achieve this goal they knew that quality had to be at the foundation, which is why we have always held a "never settle" mindset towards our coffee roasting. By continuously examining every aspect of our process from green coffee storage to QC protocols to data collection; we ensure that we are always pushing the boundaries of what is possible through a scientific and evidence-based approach.
Over the ten years Boxcar has been in business it has become clear that there is one factor even more important than quality: relationships. Through the years we've been lucky to have built up quite a few life long relationships that are by and far what keeps us inspired to do our best work, day after day. From wholesale partners, to our producer relationships and team members that have been with us since the beginning, relationships have kept Boxcar going through the good and bad and are inextricably linked to our success.
