I've been a regular customer of Stone Street Coffee for quite some time now, and it's about time I share my love for their products and service. The coffee they offer is nothing short of spectacular, with a flavor profile that is deeply satisfying and complex. Each cup brings an incredible aroma that fills the room, setting the tone for a perfect start to my day.But it's not just the coffee itself that makes Stone Street stand out; their customer service is exemplary. Recently, I had an interaction with their team, and I was blown away by the attentiveness and care they demonstrated. It's clear that they value their customers deeply, and it's this level of service, combined with their exceptional coffee, that cements them as the full package in my eyes.For anyone who might be hesitating on the price point, let me assure you, it's worth every penny. Investing in Stone Street Coffee means investing in many mornings of blissful coffee experiences. I'm proud to call myself a loyal customer and look forward to many more orders. If you're on the fence about trying their coffee, consider this your sign to take the plunge. You won't regret it.

Let me get the only negative out of the way first because it's a small thing for me, but I know it's a big deal for others. The coffee beans didn't seem to have as much oil on them as I've seen in the past. I'm not sure that's a bad thing, but I'm making note of it anyway. Personally, I'd rather not have an oil slick at the top of my coffee cup.Now for the good stuff. I was immediately impressed by the delivery speed for coffee because Mount KilimanjaroTanzania Peaberry has been notoriously difficult for me to obtain locally. I figured I'd be waiting for a week or two anyway, but this coffee was on my doorstep in just a few days. So, if you're tired of everyone making excuses as to why they can't get this particular kind of especially tasty coffee, buying online may be your best best. The price, by the way, was also a lot less than I'm used to paying at the my local coffee shop (about $10.00 cheaper).The packaging was quite robust and sealed completely. I had no concerns that the coffee would be stale or that it might be contaminated in some way.Opening the package was sheer heaven. The aroma immediately filled the room. So, I had to make a pot right away and wasn't disappointed in the least. Quite the contrary, despite the lack of oils on the coffee beans, this really was a phenomenal cup of coffee.I was surprised to find that the vendor didn't short change me. I've ordered online before and 5 pounds usually meant 5 pounds, sort of, with a little bit of thumb on the scale by the vendor. I actually weighed the 1 pound bags that I vacuum packed from this 5 pound bag on another scale and found that I received a little more than 5 pounds. So, don't worry about getting cheated by this vendor.Tanzania Peaberry does provide a unique flavor that's not for everyone. It does tend to be a tiny bit bitter, even if you get a medium roast, but that's one of the reasons I like it. This coffee has an intense flavor that some people also find off-putting after drinking flat beaned coffee that is available in stores. The round beans make for a more even roast for someone who actually enjoys something that fills the mouth and nose with flavor. I've heard some people say that Tanzania Peaberry is kind of chocolately; I can agree with that, but only if you're talking about the high cocoa content sort of pricey chocolate that I also tend to enjoy. In other words, this is a quality coffee experience for those who can enjoy it.

Low acid.Some Prime, some not Prime???

I will never forgot a wonderful experience that I had at the Nairobi Hilton some years ago. It was there that I ordered a cup of coffee, assuming that it should be at least good. Well, to my pleasant surprise, not only was the cup of coffee good, it was absolutely the finest cup of coffee I have ever had in my entire life of 70 years! I came away with a renewed respect for African coffees. Please try this coffee.

Product ordered: Tanzania Peaberry, Mount Kilimanjaro, Whole Bean, 5 pound.Coffee was delivered quickly, beans smelled freshly roasted when bag was opened. Beans ground beautifully in a burr grinder with little chaff. Roast is on the dark side of medium, coffee is smooth, free of bitter notes, and is a great cup of coffee black and freshly poured. I think sugar and cream masks some of the really subtle notes of this bean, but it's delicious made that way also.All in all, I'm very happy with the quality of the bean, the consistency of the roast, and the flavor of the brew. I will order this bean again, and will probably give some of Stone Street's other beans a try now too.

This is my third order of Peaberry beans. The other bags have been excellent, the beans were dried as they should be and the flavor was beyond great. But this bag arrived and the beans are excessively oily and the flavor is just not there. Not sure if they rushed this batch through the process but it's very disappointing.

First off- the beans are perfect! Unlike the reviewer who claimed to be a "connoisseur," and said the beans should be oily, these aren't. If you do a web search for yourself, you'll find that they're NOT supposed to he oily. Oiliness usually means the beans were roasted too quickly and/or at too high of a temperature, releasing the oils. Since the oils aren't retained, the coffee isn't as flavorful. Oily beans can also clog up and damage your grinder. These beans weren't dried out, they were fresh, and roasted to perfection. The flavor notes mentioned were spot on. I would definitely buy again!!!

The beans looked a little dry and old, but they ground up with a good fresh smell and the brewing coffee also smelled fresh and lively. The overall taste was smooth and not acidic. I thought I'd give Stone Street Coffee a try and it's a solid good but not great. I usually like my coffee to be great!
