Love this… but wait…
Been buying Stumptown founders blend for a couple of years. Have loved it until I opened the most recent bag. Beans were noticeably different-looking – smaller, different in color – and the aroma was different than it always has been. Went ahead and ground some – the grinding even sounded different somehow. Made my coffee – completely different flavor than it always has been. Not enjoyable and missing all the flavor that is my reason for buying this particular blend. Will be heading to the grocery store to see if what they have there is the good ole beans I love. In the meantime, definitely not loving my morning coffee anymore. ð¥º

Beneath the sticker shows a very different expiration date compared to the one on the sticker. What’s going on?

This is a very good flavoured brew. 2 TBSP per double espresso shot served long with a bit o’ milk. If you are looking for a treat, as it’s a bit pricey for regular drinking, this is one.

Good overall
Good quality beans. Roast is a bit light for me. Nice fruity taste no bitterness. I think this would make a great iced coffee. A little pricey IMO

Great coffee… medium roast.
I grind the coffee for use with espresso and an aeropress, and it’s equally great for both. It’s a medium roast, well balanced, and brews a wonderful cup. I ordered this here because the price was lower than at my local store, but when I went to re-order the price had gone up. Be aware of whether you’re getting a good price on this compared to your local store, but you can be sure you’re going to get great coffee.

Disappointed With Stumptown
The Negative Reviews Were On Point- the beans were not fresh, hardly any notable coffee flavors, it does take more beans to make a cup (I thought it was just me), and it is overpriced considering the end product. I guess I should have read the reviews before buying it. Noticed the beans on the left are more glossy (meaning the oils haven’t been stripped) than the ones on the right (Stumptown, which I received a little more than a week ago and only opened a couple of days ago).My experience:- I first tried it with my espresso machine. The grind was dry and powdery. The crema was lacking and it looked a little watery. The taste was acidic, not nutty or roasted. The taste was akin to stale beans or decaf, slight sour taste. The notes were definitely not of vanilla or cocoa powder (as the label advertised).- I admit I’m no barista, so I gave it another go. This time with a pour over, which IMHO I’m better at. As another reviewer noted, it did take a little more beans to make a comparable cup. But the end results were still the same, still the same acidic/sour taste of stale beans, no notes of vanilla or cocoa powder.I threw away the package so I don’t know when the roasted and good by dates were.FWIW, I didn’t like their bottled cold brews (same acidic/sour taste) and was willing to try them out bc heck we’re talking whole roasted organic beans and at a relatively attractive price.. But no. I’ll stick with my Lavazza (the beans on the left in pic).

Stumptown Homestead Blend Whole Bean Coffee
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.
