Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Medium Roast Organic Whole Bean Coffee – Holler Mountain 12 Ounce Bag with Flavor Notes of Citrus Zest, Caramel and Hazelnut

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.

Remplie mes espérances de la dégustation…..avec une larme de crème et si vous voulez l’aromatisiez d’une larme de cognac…..

I got the Holler MTN Roast- I saw the other reviews about the enjoy by dates- just wanted to share that my beans didn’t come expired!

RE- the other comments, if you want your coffee as fresh as can be, like roasted within the last 2 months or less – get beans from your local roaster or market, not Amazon. Amazon is limited to the bulk they purchase and have to deliver first in first out- so that fresh roast is not getting delivered until prior roasts go out. Of course if they arrived past the enjoy by date- report it to Amazon so they can replace the bag.

“Dry” beans vs shiny beans.. I prefer dry beans because it doesn’t gunk up the grinder, and the flavor is better! When you see those shiny beans know your coffee was cooked to a point that the moisture (oil) escaped the bean, these oily beans also tend to go bad faster. Yay for a controlled roast and a dry bean! Keeping the oil in the bean until you brew helps attain that smooth flavor.

Cheers!

Coffee is delicious. Store was out so I thought I would order it. Beware of ordering and the use by date for freshness. When received, only had about 2 weeks left before use by date. Coffee was brewed several months ago. You get fresher beans in store than here.

Taste OK, but must have been much better if bag was roasted in the last month to month and a half, here it was roasted in February with a best before of May 27, and my first cup was on May 18.

I recently had the chance to experience the Stumptown Coffee Roasters’ Founder’s Blend, and I’d like to share my thoughts on this medium roast organic whole bean coffee.

The organic aspect of this coffee is definitely a strong point. It’s great to see a brand taking sustainability seriously and offering an organic option for coffee lovers.

The medium roast level is where I usually find my sweet spot, and the Founder’s Blend delivers on that front. It’s a smooth and balanced cup of coffee that doesn’t overwhelm the taste buds. If you prefer a milder flavor profile, this could be a good choice for you.

However, when it comes to the taste experience, I found myself wanting a bit more depth. While the coffee is enjoyable, it lacks the complexity and boldness I often seek in a cup of coffee. It’s a bit on the safe side in terms of flavor.

In terms of packaging, the 12-ounce bag is a practical size, and it does a decent job of preserving the freshness of the beans. My only gripe here is that I’ve noticed some inconsistency in the freshness of different batches. Some bags seem to lose their vibrancy sooner than expected.

All in all, the Founder’s Blend by Stumptown Coffee Roasters is a respectable option for those who prefer a milder, more balanced coffee experience. It may not be my personal go-to, but it could definitely find a place in the rotation for those seeking a smoother cup of joe.

I honestly never write reviews but these are hands down the best beans for my Breville Espresso machine. They make the best shot every single time. I’ve tried pretty much every color of the Stumpton beans and come back to the yellow Homestead blend. Give them a try you won’t regret it.
