Stumptown Roasters.. yummy.


Wow, this is as close to Starbuks i've found so far. Its a lot fresher, and a lighter roast but it clearly beats out all others i've tried so far. its black cat like but w/o the spice. just an even keel pull. I'll update again when i pull a nice ristretto tomorrow morning.

Its the most expensive coffee i've ever purchased! $20 bucks shipped to my house in Michigan, all the way from Portland. Still, its $13.50 / lb and that's three bucks more than the others.

Its missing that 'Malabar' musroom musty taste i found in Dolce and to a lesser extent Paradise.. I'm not to into that.

Paradise Roasters - very very very good

I can't seem to get the updates done with the numerical rating system so its done.

The next challenger for Starbucks was Paradise Roasters - what a surprise.

Everyone loved it - i mean loved it. I even loved it.

Its got a slight bit of Malabar - just enough according to most (too much IMO).

Very drinkable, almost equalled the flavor of starbucks on straight shots - can't relly tell if its better for milk drinks or not, Vita sure did kill for milk drinks.

On to Stumptown Hairbender - is it me or is $14 for a pound of beans a bit much?
