I write very few reviews, this is perfect coffee.
I have been drinking coffee for decades. I have tried perhaps 100 or so Organic Coffees over the years. I am partial to light/medium roasts, which this is. The balance of acidity, flavor, and boldness Ive found in Hundred Mile is completely unmatched. It is expensive, so I only buy it for special occasions. I believe it is worth the price.

FINALLY!!!!
EDIITâI tired the Holler blend and much prefer the Mountain Blend! I hVe it on subscribe and save and will be upping the delivery timeline! Itâs great?First, I wish Stumptown would train other companies on how to package (specifically vacuum-seal) coffee beans! I think Iâve ordered a total of at least ten different brands from Amazon over the years and this is the first thatâs been packaged well and sealed tightly to keep them fresh! I ordered the Homestead blend. Itâs a good stout medium blend; maybe slightly bitter but thatâs easy to counter if itâs an issue for you. The reviews I read had me a little concerned at firstly but Iâm glad I took the chance on this brand, One review mentioned they canât taste the flavor profile and while thatâs true for the Homestead too, in my experience you donât always have to in order for it to be good coffee. I play around with my own spice blends in coffee and donât always taste the exact spice, but it still flavors it differently. I think thatâs what this (at least the Homestead blend) is doing. Homestead is a milk chocolate and candy blend, which honestly I donât think Iâd 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 thatâs 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. Iâll definitely be taking a chance and ordering this product again! (And would update review if the use-by date were an issue because Iâm 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 theyâve fixed their use-by date issue!

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.

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

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).

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?
D. Porritt –
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.
