Grindhouse Coffee Roasting Company
Bethlehem, PA
About the vendor:
Grindhouse Coffee Roasting Company grew out of a love for coffee. For five years Brigit, Dave and Meredith ran an open coffee shop in a bookstore in Southside Bethlehem. Their customers taught them how important a cup of fresh coffee is, but how hard it was to get a good cup. So the threesome decided to take their love for fresh coffee a step further by roasting their own beans. Their goal is to supply just that to not only their local community, but to any home, no matter where that happens to be.

NOT BAD, ELVIS (on Grindhouse The Choco...)
anncrhoads | anncrhoads | Tue, 08/10/2010OK, Took the coffee on vacation for others to try. We made it in the afternoon ~ we don 't like flavored coffee in the morning. It's not bad. It's like a dessert coffee. Best when you use half & half in it. Might be even better with a shot of Bailey's. I normally don't drink the flavored coffee's but this wasn't bad at all.
FABULOUS GRINDHOUSE KENYA AA (on Kenyan AA Coffee)
Trixi323 | Trixi323 | Fri, 07/23/2010Amazing from the very beginning. Opened the bag when it arrived- the fragrance was heavenly- deep and rich but not harsh or "burnt" as some dark roasts seem to be. Ground my beans and brewed a pot for the whole family. My parents, who tend toward lighter blends and brew it a bit on the weak side, thought it was wonderful. I drank my first cup black to get the full impact. It was rick, dark and bold. It was not harsh, bitter or acidic. I found it very enjoyable and it satisfied my love of a quality dark roast coffee.
LOW ACIDITY AND A "NOT SO TART" BLU... (on Grindhouse Blueberry...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 07/10/2010Since the Grindhouse Blueberry Fields 4 Ever Flavored Coffee beans arrived I have been experimenting with different methods of preparation trying to dial in the best tasting cup. This is a very dark roast for a flavored coffee - at least a Vienna roast, maybe darker. Out of my drip machine the coffee tasted bitter enough to diminish the blueberry flavor. I tried another cup using lower temps and did see a good bit of improvement. The instructions on the bag recommends brewing with a French press, so I tried that method too. Grindhouse Coffee Roasters packages these beans in a thick valve bag that is easy to reseal - I like these bags. The dry beans give up a deep, sweet, blueberry aroma as does the press pot while brewing. The first sip presents a dark roast, low acidity coffee taste mixed with subtle non tart blueberry flavor and a slightly bitter finish. The mouth feel is full and syrupy. As it cools the taste remains the same - I think the slightly bitter aftertaste is a product of the flavoring, not the beans. Cream and sugar knock this edge off though, and most cups will be enjoyed doctored up rather than enjoyed straight. I think this would make a nice iced coffee too. I give this one 4 stars. I tried a couple different blueberry flavored coffees and, in my opinion, a lighter roast combined with a bit more tart in the blueberry flavor makes for a better cup, so I originally was going to rate it with 3 beans. After sharing a couple pots of Grindhouse Blueberry Fields 4 Ever Flavored Coffee with flavored coffee "aficionados", the comments ran counter to mine - less tart blueberry flavor and darker, less acidic tasting coffee was a hit for them. If you like low acidity coffee and a less tart blueberry taste, then look no further than Grindhouse Blueberry Fields 4 Ever Flavored Coffee.
