Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Dark Roast Organic Whole Bean Coffee - French Roast 12 Ounce Bag with Flavor Notes of Clove and Bittersweet Chocolate

I meant to order whole beans but ended up with ground—and I’m not even mad about it. The aroma hits you right when you open the bag, and the seal keeps it fresh. The strength is balanced and smooth, with just the right kick. Great value for money considering the rich quality and flavor complexity. It works well with my drip brewer, showing solid functionality for a pre-ground option. Definitely a pleasant surprise!

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!

I’ve tried many medium roast coffees, but this one stands out as my absolute favorite. The balance of flavor is perfect—smooth and rich with just the right amount of depth. It has a warm, toasty aroma that fills the room as it brews, and each sip delivers a beautifully rounded taste. What I love most is how it’s bold enough to be satisfying yet never too bitter or overpowering. Whether enjoyed black or with a splash of milk, it consistently delivers a great cup. If you're looking for a well-rounded, flavorful medium roast, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

Great coffee but slightly old.

I got a bag of Homestead Blend a few months ago from the Stumptown cafe during a visit to Portland. I typically get Dunkin or Tim Hortons beans from Amazon - both have a pretty good flavor and are inexpensive. I usually do pourover but sometimes use an Aeropress. The Homestead Blend bag from Portland had a nice strong body with no hint of over-roastedness. The flavor was sweet, light, nuanced, and very enjoyable. It instantly became one of my new favorites.I was apprehensive about ordering a bag from Amazon because I've seen reviewers mentioning that they were expired and/or tasted off. Stumptown is typically about $16 at my local grocery store, compared to about $6 for Hortons on Amazon, so kind of a step up in cost. I saw that Homestead Blend was on sale on Amazon so I decided to try it.I received my bag on October 2. It was roasted on July 30 and the expiration is given as November 27, so indeed it is not fresh from the roaster. But as far as I can tell, it tastes as good as the bag from Portland. And it'll be used up long before the expiration. So this order was a win for me. I'll definitely try another one.

The media could not be loaded. Well what did I like? Hmm. They are beans that I can grind on my own.What did I dislike? The video explains it all. There just really is no taste.All of what you are about to hear and read are only my opinion, in my experience.This is my review of the Stumptown Coffee Roasters Medium Roast Organic Whole Bean Coffee Hundred Mile variety with Flavor Notes of Jam and ToffeeSo I've been on a quest to find a Good Coffee. It started with grinding beans, instead of taking ground coffee. That did make an impressive lift in my experience! Just grinding beans does make a difference.As I've gone out and experienced different coffees, including local eclectic coffee shops, and Starbucks, and Denny's, and McDonald's, one thing has become very clear: There are a lot of different coffees out there!The best of my experiences, in my opinion, of the store bought brewed coffees? McDonald's, without hesitation. Starbucks is consistent in all countries from the United States to Chile to Argentina -- Starbucks is burned to a crisp, in my opinion. It isn't good coffee, but it is consistent coffee.I tried this Stumptown coffee because it was highly rated five stars on Amazon. What I found was not five stars in my book at all.

Not my cup of......coffee that's for sure. Didn't have time to get my regular beans so I took a chance based on reviews and a recommendation given elsewhere. We all have our own palates and preferences so I can't disparage Stumptown coffee, but to me, this tasted like a very acidic Folgers. I tried different grinds, water amounts etc. Finally gave up and tossed these in the trash
