I was introduced to Storyville Prologue back in 2018 when visiting Seattle. I fell in love with it immediately and signed up for their subscription. This is my go to for my Monday- Friday coffee. It's perfect to start my day with my breakfast. At first I thought 6 weeks would last till my next delivery. I stuck with it for all this time and realized I needed to adjust my delivery time down to every 4 weeks. Can't wait till my next delivery.

Really delicious coffee! Very smooth and well-balanced, with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. No bitterness or noticeable acidity. It makes an excellent latte and I’ve really enjoyed it.

Fresh coffee

I tried Storyville Coffee at a friend’s house and was immediately impressed. The beans were incredibly fresh—roasted less than a week ago—and the flavor really stood out. They even included a mug as a nice gift for next order, which was a great touch. The packaging is also very well done. The only downside for me is the shipping fees, but overall I’m excited to try more of their flavors and roasts.

Makes every cup better!

I added Prologue to my Storyville and Italian espresso repertoire. I love the complexity and the balance and richness this amazingly fresh coffee brings to my cup. Bravo!

The perfect cup, everyday!

I enjoyed an espresso at Pikes Place the second week of December, and have been hooked ever since. The store was gorgeous and the staff so helpful and kind! I brought a bag of Prologue home with me to Kansas City, little did I know, this would be my everyday brew of choice. It is what I would reccomend to a first time coffee drinker, as some coffee is too bitter and acidic and will turn people away from ALL coffee. I am more than pleased to receive beans by mail roasted 1 week before it ships!! The smell of the beans is heavenly, and the taste is the smoothest yet boldest medium roast. I hope someday to see a lightroast and I love that decaf is offered.
My experience from store to home exceeds expectations and the operators of Storyville should be proud. Thank you for taking pride in service and production.
P.s.
The brand of milk you use in store is pure GENIOUS as it compliments the espresso PERFRCTLY!

Love at first sip….

To be honest, wasn’t sure what to expect out of the beans ordered online. I can tell these beans are fresh and high quality while pulling shots after shots and observing and admiring at the golden rich crema extraction.
The taste is non acidic, full of body, robust flavor of chocolate and hint of caramel. Loved every drop of them!!!
17g of beans, 35g extraction in 30 seconds.

Excellent beans

Tried the coffee on a visit to Seattle and loved it. We had tried many different espresso beans in our home espresso maker and weren’t crazy about any of them but really liked the Storyville beans. We have had a subscription delivery to our home in Florida for a year and a half now. They always arrive on time and have delivered a consistently great expression and taste. The quality taste of these beans makes it hard to just have any old coffee from just anywhere, lol! Definitely recommend !

Loved the coffee since my first visit in Seattle. I signed up for delivery to Austin. It’s my main go to coffee beans for my daily espresso or latte. Deliciously consistent with the flavor and roast levels.

Storyville coffee was introduced by my daughter several years ago and the Storyville Prologue is our goto coffee. I have yet to find a coffee replacement for the prologue.

Prologue / Blended Daily Drinker

A good quality daily drinker. This is a blend versus a single origin. The packaging is very high-quality. The coffee does not provide a lot of complexity or depth. It definitely comes to a premium roaster. It’s good to have but will need to have single origin around if looking for something more interesting. The roast is in medium too dark. It does have a little bit of bitter, depending on how you make it. I made it pour over at 205 Fahrenheit. 20 g of beans with 300 g of water. The brew time was about four minutes.

3 Sip Guarantee

Love us by the third sip or your coffee’s on the house. Call us at 206-780-5777 or email info@storyville.com

Storyville Coffee Subscription Service

Our call to you is to give us an audition. If you don’t love us by the third sip, we guarantee your coffee is on the house. But if you take the chance and discover the beauty in roasted, dialed perfection, know that every time you raise a cup of Storyville, it’s a taste of freedom.

There are some out there who think that this already exists, and we know that this dream is not for everybody. But out there, all over the world are prime candidates for discovery who will fall in love with fresh-roasted, smooth, and deeply flavorful coffee.

Many of us have been programmed to believe that coffee is what it is, and even though drinking it is a challenge, it’s worth it for the jolt. But our taste buds tell us there’s something wrong here. They say, “This is bitter and acidic! Cover it up with milk and flavoring!” What if we told you that 90% of the coffee your order at any restaurant has been prepared as an afterthought, or that what you buy in the grocery store is bitter, over roasted, and old. Thanks to big business branding and clever marketing, we’re led to believe that “strong” and “bold” coffee will wake us up and get us going, even though drinking it is a bitter test of endurance. It’s the same story told over and over again, based entirely on the shelf life of the coffee… Because shelf life comes in front of your quality of life.

But what if we told you that drinking coffee shouldn’t be an endurance test? That it shouldn’t be akin to taking your medicine in the morning because it will be good for you since it will recharge and energize you?

Initially, it was hard to convince ourselves that this is wrong. Many of us say “Well, it’s good enough for me!” and resist admitting that something so simple could be so askew. We were drinking old, burnt, bitter coffee and defending the right to do so!

But over a dozen years ago, something powerful happened. We tasted fresh, smooth, artisan roasted, blended, and perfectly prepared coffee. And it was pleasureful, and it showed us the light. This coffee was delicious no matter what you put in it or didn’t – no acid, no bitter or burnt aftertaste, just smooth flavor and toasted goodness, with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla. We were hooked, and we couldn’t go back… until now, as we come back for you!

We want to transform the way humans drink coffee at home and provide them with the best beans, machines, and methods to drink a perfect cup of coffee every time, every day for the rest of their lives. Through our coffee subscription service, we provide fresh roasted coffee beans, Nespresso capsules, and KCups to those who have joined us in this vision of perfectly smooth coffee every time. With this coffee delivery service, anyone can receive a monthly box of the finest expertly roasted coffee, curated in an ultra smooth blend by artists and scientists, perfected to fit their favorite brew method. This dedication to quality and consistency has led us to make the best coffee subscription service on the market.

So here we are. At the crossroads of life and facing a choice. Will you choose bitter or smooth, burnt or dialed, endurance or pleasure? But wait – this message isn’t even about coffee. Coffee is just the vehicle, the host to a radical dream. Storyville has been built not just as a source for the world’s finest coffee, but as an engine for sustained giving: A For-Giving Company™ with a mission to see slavery in all forms abolished. The heart of Storyville aches for all who are not free to dream, and we do what we do for them. With your help, we can donate to charitable organizations who work to end human trafficking, once and for all.

Our call to you is to give us an audition. If you don’t love us by the third sip, we guarantee your coffee is on the house. But if you take the chance and discover the beauty in roasted, dialed perfection, know that every time you raise a cup of Storyville, it’s a taste of freedom.
