Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Organic Medium Roast Ground Coffee - Holler Mountain 12 Ounce Bag, Flavor Notes of Citrus Zest, Caramel and Hazelnut

One of the best coffees on Amazon. I picked up Stumptown’s Holler Mountain a couple weeks ago and have been impressed from the first cup. It has a light, floral profile with a touch of natural sweetness that comes through without any bitterness. A lot of coffees promise balance, but this one actually delivers. If you like a cup that’s smooth, bright, and easy to drink without tasting harsh, this is one worth trying. I would only ask for a larger bag and a reduction in cost along with it. It definitely is a bit pricey.

Taste is like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. What may taste good too me might not taste good to another. I like my coffee with cream and sweetener. The first brew through with Stunptown Hairbender I was underwhelmed. The coffee barely covered the taste of the creamer. I was pretty disappointed. The next day o brewed it stronger and that changed the whole thing. It was really good and a joyful change of pace. For me it's very earthy meaning it tasted a little pine desert sage after a rain. What I realized is it doesn't have the bite of the bitter burnt mass produced coffees. I'll buy again.

Really like this coffee. Mellow taste and not bitter.

We enjoyed this coffee. It taste great and does not have an acidic taste. The only thing that I personally did not love is that it’s not a very medium or dark roast flavor. I would consider this a light roast flavor. If you enjoy light roast, this is for you, however, if you enjoy a bolder cup of coffee isn’t for you.

Husband and I spent last summer in Oregon and fell in love with Stumptown coffee. Now we can enjoy our homemade cappuccino in Texas with memories of the Pacific Northwest. This coffee is smooth and flavorful without being bitter or too acidic.

When I search for “espresso,” this product is the only one that comes up. This is not espresso, and honestly has a very bitter taste to it.

I'd first like to put up a disclaimer that the coffee's taste varies greatly on how you brew your coffee. While this is an excellent choice for espresso shots and even better for lattes, my favorite is as pourover or through aeropress. Pourover and Immersion process at the right temperatures (between 180 °F - 195 °F) give an optimal amount of flavor. Some people might have mentioned that it's less sour, but that's usually due to the amount of carbon dioxide in the coffee still. During the roasting process as the bean itself begins to carbonize, it generates CO2 which stays trapped within the bean slowing trying to get out. This is why there are one-way valves on the coffee bags to allow CO2 to escape. With that in mind, your coffee will vary depending on a while variety of factors. * Time since roast * Water temp * Immersion time * Espresso vs Pourover vs Immersion vs etc * James Hoffmann's revised pourover process * James Hoffamnn's old pourover process * Was the coffee brewed within 30 seconds of when it was ground? * How much water did you use vs the amount of coffee? * Is your scale calibrated * Did you rinse your paper filter? * Is your V60 or Immersion container preheated? And the list just keeps going. Typically folks with sour coffee are experiencing under extraction, so that means hotter water, or long extraction. People who are tasting mild coffee that lacks flavor and depth, you need to fix your ratio to get more coffee into the filter. Now with the preface out of the way, this coffee is delicious. A cup pour at just about ~10,000 feet in the Sierras (Laurel Lakes, Inyo National Forest) from an Aeropress 2:30 brew time, yielded delicious coffee with hints of caramel and chocolate. I don't know what Stumptown did, but this was the most flavorful cup I've had with this. It's definitely possible that coffee brewed at high altitudes will also evaporate faster releasing more flavor during a sip, so your mileage may vary. Just keep in mind, I was very happy with these beans. They're very high quality and exceptionally delicious.

Best coffee ever. Nuff said. Happy mornings when my coffee canister is full. :)
