- salt-thrower 4y agoI actually agree. I’ve tried to like Stumptown so many times, but the flavor is too sour for me. Sisters Coffee Company is my favorite Oregon brand so far.
- aaronbrethorst 4y agoThanks for the tip. I'll check them out next time I see them at PCC or wherever. Meanwhile, I think my two favorite Washington roasters are https://www.mukilteocoffee.com https://www.mukilteocoffee.com and https://fidalgocoffee.com https://fidalgocoffee.com
- YLE118 4y agoI like Herkimer but somehow my partner recognizes the taste anytime I brew it to share. I'm not sure how given that I usually can taste differences but it's been consistent and impressive.
- stevage 4y agoAs a melburnian used to espresso, American Starbucks just tastes like milk to me. I try to order the smallest, strongest thing I can find and it's still just...milk.
- mrguyorama 4y agoI WISH Starbucks tasted like milk. Order just a normal iced or hot coffee from them, and put in as much cream or sugar as you want, it still tastes like you are licking the little hot plate under the carafe in a drip coffee maker. At least it doesn't taste like battery acid though.
- worthless-trash 4y agoAustralians have no idea how spoiled they are. The italian migration in the 60's really lifted coffee expectations.
- sizzle 4y agoStumptown sold out to Peets fyi https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/07/business/dealbook/peets-buys-stumptown-coffee-roasters.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/07/business/dealbook/peets-b... I can’t look at them the same ever since.
