Washed lot with Cotton Candy Grapes, Jasmine, and Clementine in the cup.

Roaster · Milwaukee, WI
27 lots in stock, mostly Colombia, Costa Rica and Guatemala.
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

Per-lot signals (averaged)
Vary across lots; averaged over 27 in-stock lots.
Bonuses earned (per lot)
Base components are renormalized over whatever signals are available for each lot. SCA + Coffee Review are capped at 40% combined to keep the cupping story from dominating. Bonuses (accolades, awards, editorial coverage) and freshness decay are applied on top.

Reddit evidence includes several positive accounts of Stone Creek. One commenter calls it their main local coffee source, reports good experiences at other shops, and praises cold-brew growlers; another calls it a favorite cafe and says visited locations were superb. Separate posts mention liking Green Bike as espresso, enjoying a cold-brew-specific dark Colombian coffee, and discussing Small Batch Reserve packaging and flavor.
Stone Creek has pretty much become my main local coffee source. I don't make it to the part of town where this new shop is located, but I've always had good experiences at the other shops I go to. I love their cold-brew growlers - I go through at least one a week through the summer.
...y this is all based on personal taste, but I'm about to purchase a Bialetti and am open to suggestions for my first bag of beans. I'm leaning towards picking up a bag of Stone Creek's Green Bike (I've had it in real espresso form before and liked it) but I could definitely be swayed. Unfortunately I live nowhere nea
...working from home I've been using cold brew to get my fix. So far I've been using pre-ground beans from various east coast companies. Cooper's and Stone Creek each have a cold-brew-specific dark Columbian ones that I have enjoyed, but I am not tied to super dark roasts. I was hoping to start buying local from Chicag
The best way to start the year is with a new flavor of coffee! Stone Creek Small Batch Reserve Both I would say, the packaging does bring a nice aesthetic to the presentation but indeed the flavor brings up the age and even though this reserve is a bit acidic I want to believe the bottle evens the flavor somehow.
I would love to come join the fun and watch, but unfortunately I'm stuck working. Just wanted to say that Stone Creek is definitely one of my favorite cafes, and all of the locations that I've been to have been superb. Keep doing what you're doing!
