QED Coffee is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster based in Seattle, Washington.
QED Coffee is a coffee roast based in Seattle, Washington. [1] [2] The business name is derived from the Latin Q.E.D., an initialism of the phrase quod erat demonstrandum, meaning "that which was to be demonstrated."
