STUMPTOWN COFFEE ROASTERSMedium Roast Organic Whole Bean Coffee - Founder's Blend Bag with Flavor Notes of Vanilla and Cocoa Powder, 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)

This is a good coffee. It is smooth and not bitter, but it still has a bold flavor that stands out (in a good way). It is my wife’s new favorite coffee.We brew with a semi-coarse grind and pour over, either single cup or Chemex pots.

Delicious smooth coffee! Switched to Stumptown from Folgers after reading about the coffee bean industry and all the nasties they use when growing the beans and the difference is so real. I love these coffee beans. So smooth and there’s none of that bitter bite you taste when you make a strong cup of brew. I use a percolator without an additional filter besides the weak strainer that percolators come with. Theres no paper filter needed. Thanks Stumptown for your amazing coffee! May God bless your business and pursuit of clean coffee.

Strong dark chocolate without the bitterness.Not good for my tastes, but it is an obviously well made coffee.

First this coffee that arrived today is best consumed by the middle of next month and was roasted last October, but if freshness is paramount, you probably aren't buying coffee from Amazon anyways. The supposed hints of chocolate and vanilla are non existent and it is mildly bitter. I didn't like it initially, but it is starting to grow on me. The beans are not oily so it works well in my Jura auto-feed brewer. I am a huge fan of dark roast but this tastes clean and its a nice change of pace.

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).

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.

Great coffee. I highly recommend it. Will definitely.

Very, very good. Would buy more if they were instantly bigger packs as I consume coffee way too much.
