This is the BEST cold brew. I don't know why it's different, but it doesn't make me anxious. It has a great, smooth taste. I never thought I'd be a cold coffee person, but this changed my mind!!

I tend to be skeptical of effusive reviews because about half the time, the product doesn't really live up to all of the hype and you end up feeling duped. I am a real person giving a real review, though, and this is the best coffee I have ever made, whether hot or cold brew. Granted, I am a fairly new coffee aficionado, but after a year or two of buying coffee every day, I realized I really needed to make it at home and save some money. I went out and bought a fancy coffee maker and several varieties of expensive flavored coffee grounds online, and it was OK...but I still longed for Starbucks or my local coffee parlor. I also genuinely prefer my coffee cold, and for a good iced coffee, you need a strong, robust brew. Regular coffee iced down doesn't always cut it. I eventually found some fantastic cold brew filter bags on Amazon and started experminating with making my own cold brew with regular coffee grounds, with mixed results. Sometimes it was decent, sometimes awful. It was never great. After a few weeks of that, I turned to my trusty friend Google and asked, "What are the best coffee grounds for cold brew?" Voila. Here I am. I am still on my 1st experimental bag of these grounds, but I am sold. The coffee has been phenomenal every time. It is strong, smooth, and fresh, with no weird aftertaste like I often get from a my hot coffees. Even mixed with cream and poured over ice, there is still a bold, delicious flavor that does not get overpowered or watered down easily. The coffee is honestly as good as Starbucks or the $7 latte 😱 at my favorite coffee parlor, and all I need to do now is work on replicating my favorite flavors to have all of that wonderful luxury in my own kitchen. Also, being a New Yorker, I love that this is a local company! NY TOUGH! ❤

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 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.

Great taste, solved my wife's issues with acidic coffees

Best coffee I’ve tried. Low acid!! I have no problems with my stomach anymore after drinking. I’m obsessed!!!

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.

I have tried other brands, and this is the best coffee for making cold brew. It has a smooth and delicious flavor. It is like coffee shop flavor without leaving home. Nothing is better on a hot summer morning, than a cup of this cold brew.
