EDIIT"”I tired the Holler blend and much prefer the Mountain Blend! I hVe it on subscribe and save and will be upping the delivery timeline! It's great?

First, I wish Stumptown would train other companies on how to package (specifically vacuum-seal) coffee beans! I think I've ordered a total of at least ten different brands from Amazon over the years and this is the first that's been packaged well and sealed tightly to keep them fresh! I ordered the Homestead blend. It's a good stout medium blend; maybe slightly bitter but that's easy to counter if it's an issue for you. The reviews I read had me a little concerned at firstly but I'm glad I took the chance on this brand, One review mentioned they can't taste the flavor profile and while that's true for the Homestead too, in my experience you don't always have to in order for it to be good coffee. I play around with my own spice blends in coffee and don't always taste the exact spice, but it still flavors it differently. I think that's what this (at least the Homestead blend) is doing. Homestead is a milk chocolate and candy blend, which honestly I don't think I'd like to taste in my coffee, but the coffee just tastes well-rounded and bold for a medium blend. I also wonder if the chocolate may be where that slight bitter taste I get comes from. Several reviews also mentioned the brew and best used-by dates. Mine was brewed in late June, purchased in August, and best used by October. I purchase whole bean coffee for its freshness and it loses freshness quickly, so to me that's a good time frame. I usually will go through a bag this size is maybe 2-3 weeks so if I received it as some did within a couple weeks of best used-by date, it would be an issue but I would hope returns would be accepted based on late dates. I'll definitely be taking a chance and ordering this product again! (And would update review if the use-by date were an issue because I'm a firm believer in holding companies accountable for intentional or unintentional issues in business practices.) Stumptown will be my go-to coffee bean on Amazon as long as they've fixed their use-by date issue!

Freshness is not always guaranteed when it comes from the Amazon warehouses. The brand otherwise provides high-quality. I use it with an Italian moka.

I thought this coffee was super good and at least worth trying.

I had to find a replacement for my regular coffee whose quality has been in decline. After tasting this I was sad I waited so long. It is unfortunate that you can slowly get accustomed, so it is a good idea to shop around every now and again to get a check on the market. For a similar price point this was great and I am ordering more varieties from Stumptown

Stumptown is incredibly tasty. After buying this bag, I went straight to their website and signed up for a subscription to try all their different flavors. You can definitely taste the chocolate notes in this particular flavor. I highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. It's a bit pricey, but worth it if you want to treat yourself every once in awhile.
