Stone Street Colombian Cold Brew Whole Bean Coffee, Dark Roast, 2 Lb

As another reviewer has stated this used to be a Prime eligible item and cost about $64.99/5 lbs. It's now up to $74.75/5 lbs and costs $10 in shipping. Just not worth it whatsoever. I have started buying other beans that are much cheaper per lb but I will admit there is a marked difference in taste. Price gouging these days is getting ridiculous hence the 1 star. Be better.

Very good. Love the flavor notes in it.

I knew this was going to be disappointing when I opened the package and saw how oily the beans are, which is often a sign that coffee beans have been over roasted. I went ahead and made a batch of cold brew, and I just don't get all the positive reviews. It tastes a little burnt --not unlike Starbucks, maybe that's why so many people like it-- but in comparison to Starbucks, it's very one-note. Just meh, burnt coffee. For $42 with shipping, I feel like I was ripped off.

First things first - just a sniff of this bag of the beans is all you need. One sniff it all it takes to know this is some incredible coffee, and will be especially so for cold brew. It has such a warm, yet bright aroma, a bit chocolatey, yet still somewhat bold. The bag of beans I received was incredibly fresh, to the point that the beans had that "just roasted" look to them. I would not say that I am a coffee snob, but I like a flavorful cup of coffee, whether it is made with my AeroPress or something I buy at a coffee shop. I also know that a great cup starts with fresh beans, and the bag I received was fresher than anything I have ever bought at the store, and on par with the house and espresso blend beans I have purchased from big name coffee shops like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. I wish the photo I uploaded would do the bag justice, as the light reflecting off the fresh beans was mostly filtered out by camera postprocessing. This coffee was ground from its fresh, bean form into a medium-coarse grind for use in a cold brew coffee maker. The precise cold brew coffee maker can be found here: Airtight Cold Brew Coffee Maker - 1 Quart Sealing Iced Coffee Maker - Glass Pitcher with Removable Filter I fill up the coffee basket in my cold brew maker about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way with grounds and submerge it in the cold brew maker with about 24 ounces of water in it, then top it off from the top as needed. I let it sit in the fridge for 18-24 hours, then pour what I take in to work into a glass container to keep it fresh and clear of other fridge flavors. I typically pour 6 ounces of cold brew into a mug with ice, then add about two ounces of water to dilute it.

I’m a coffee snob and only drink to best of the best! This is not even close to being near the best. It’s over roasted and tastes burnt. After all the good reviews I figured I would give it a try. I regret ever spending any money on this, it belongs on a Walmart shelf! Sticking with Anodyne coffee from now on!

Great cold brew. I love the coffee, smooth and great taste, not bitter. Will buy again.

Very very unhappy. Not with stone street but with Amazon for allowing this to be shipped. Obviously cut when opening the pallet of coffee. No cut or sign of issue on box. What is more frustrating is no return policy. BS. This was the most expensive coffee I ever bought.

The title of best beans for cold brew goes to stone street! My Fiancé got me a bag of beans as a gift since I’m a cold brew fanatic. She knows I like to grind my beans fresh, so was given whole beans. Went with my tried and true recipe/technique for making cold brew and was amazed at the flavor profile. Virtually no bitterness once made to strength. Has the expected chocolatey, rich, darker notes, but with such low acidity and bitterness commonly associated with darker roasts, has a natural sweetness to it. If you know you know. I’ve been exclusively been brewing using these beans now for a few months, and resulting coffee has been great every time. There’s something to be said about technique and recipe, but it all starts with a good bean, and stone street’s cold brew reserve is a great bean!
