Stone Street Cold Brew Coffee, Low Acid, 100% Arabica, Gourmet Coffee - Strong & Smooth Blend, Coarse Ground, Dark Roast, Colombian Single Origin, 1 LB

I have not stopped making cold brew since I got my hands on this brand. I’ve tried so many different brands and after reading a handful of articles where this brand kept popping up, I had no other choice than to try it. So glad I did! -Fills your kitchen with a high end roast aroma - Tastes as smooth and sleek as it looks - Overall quality exceeded my expectations and the boost of caffeine is unbeatable

I knew enough about how important grinding my own beans is to a really good cup - but cold brew demands a lot more ground than hot coffee and I wanted a break from hand grinding. This is not it- at least not as a hot brew. Yes it is advertised as cold brew but I need my coffee to go both ways. I have a batch of cold brewing in the fridge and will know in 8 hours if it can save its self. The coffee reminds be of Maxwell house - drip and is everything I dislike about Colombian beans. I find these beans too acidic and the pre-ground has released all of the delicate notes in the beans and left a bean that is now a muted taste. I am a self-confessed dark roast coffee snob and prefer to hand grind Arabian beans in a ceramic burr grinder to make hot in a French press (to taste all the oils) and cold brew in a Bean Envy Coffer Maker to lower the acidic levels. But wanted to try this and see what serious new-Yorkers do. If you are a Tim Horton’s fan or McD’s you might like this coffee. It is too acidic for me. SIt is so acidic that I have had to the unthinkable and add real vanilla bean extract to my Bulletproof coffee mix - Can’t recommend this for hot coffee but will amend my rating if it turns out that slow cold-brew can save this acidic monster. UPDATE: Well - I was wrong.... this is a totally different coffee as a Cold Brew. It is not as consentrated as Starbucks Dark French Roast or their Italian Dark Roast - but still it is very mellow. No acidity that was present when hot. Happy to eat crow. It is really good- and is even more smooth than the brands I take hot and cold. Would rate it 4.5 and that is high praise given it can’t be a hot coffee.

The first thing you notice about Stone Street Coffee is the rich, intoxicating smell that can't be contained in the pouch that it comes in. I am definitely not a coffee connoisseur, but I press my coffee and was looking for a course-ground type to use in my press. I couldn't get over the how good Stone Street smelled! When I took my first sip, it was nirvana, so smooth, so lovely - not a hint of bitterness to be found. My best friend is so addicted to it, that every time he visits, he texts me ahead of time to make sure I get some Stone Street going in the press beforehand. If my daughter tries to steal a sip, I kid you not - he actually lifts his lip and snarls at her. I have drank a LOT of coffee over the years of my life. I have tried every method of brewing from instant, to drip, to the old-fashioned church-type percolators, and the good 'ol K-cup. NOTHING beats Stone Street in a press. It's worth the effort, and good enough that you can drink it straight. No need to drown it a "flavor-of-the-month" creamer. You will never find yourself pouring the last few swallows down the kitchen sink before rushing out the door to get to work. You'll risk being late, or you'll buy a Yeti just to take it with you - it's that good.

I was looking for a coarse ground dark roast, and wherever I searched, this seemed to be everyone's first choice. At the "subscribe and save" price of about $13.50 with free shipping it was a good deal. I signed up and got about 7 or 8 scheduled deliveries over several months, then I was notified that it was out of stock. When I checked, it was not out of stock, just no longer available at the original price with free shipping. Instead the price had been raised to $17 with $8 shipping. However, they still had the "subscribe and save" option at about $15.50, so I signed up again. The one inconvenience was that I wouldn't get my first delivery until 2 weeks later. I like the coffee well enough that I was OK with the $2 price increase. But when it came time for the first scheduled delivery, it was out of stock again. And checking back today, it appears they don't even offer "subscribe and save" anymore, just the $17 plus $8 shipping. So I signed up for another coarse ground dark roast that might not be quite as good but it's OK, and has a reasonable price, free shipping, and no delay in delivery. So 3 stars, but if the price were more reasonable and the delivery more prompt, they would get 5.

Enjoying very much
