Taste

Pros:

• "Stumptown is incredibly tasty."

• "The flavor and smell of these beans is everything a coffee lover desires. Superior taste with a smooth set of subtle flavors!"

Cons:

• "The result was bland and uninspiring."
• "This coffee is super acidic and citrusy. There is hardly any roasted bean flavor."
• "Very weak coffee, I have an espresso machine and this stuff come out of it like tea."
• "I usually like a little bit of citrus flavor but this was too intense."
• "The first thing i noticed was that the smell was really off putting. I hoped it would taste better but i just couldn’t enjoy it even after trying a few different brew methods."
• "Where do I start. First with taste. Narrow flavor, bitter and cardboard taste."
