The answer to the question: “What should I try first?” Our definitive house blend coffee. J.P. Hearty blend was created by our founder, John Prestogeorge (1926-2010), over 40 years ago. The blend is 80% Sumatra Mandheling, and 20% Vienna roast. You will get a smooth cup with a little bit of extra oomph. Many folks call it our “breakfast blend,” as it is a great way to start the day and continue sipping all day long. Not too strong, not too mild, just a very good cup of coffee. All these years later, it is still our top selling blend, earning it the honor of Pittsburgh’s favorite coffee.

The best!
We had the good fortune of visiting Pittsburgh and stayed in a wonderful Airbnb that had the JP Henry available to us. The coffee was so good that I had to contact the Airbnb owner and ask where they got this so I could bring some home. I am now ordering online regularly and I am hooked

The Gateway: This is what got me hooked on Prestogeorge Coffee
For me, this is a perfectly-balanced morning coffee. Medium roast and 80% sumatra means that it's a nice mild cup to start that day. The 20% vienna gives the flavor a little more oomph but not too much for first thing in the morning. 20 years ago, I entered Prestogeorge for the first time, knowing very little about coffee, other than that I didn't like it to taste burned, like at a certain other well-known coffee chain. The nice gentleman at the counter asked me some questions about the coffee flavors that I liked. He started me on 100% sumatra and said, "Come back next week and tell me what you think". The next week, I asked for something similar but with slightly bolder flavor. He suggested this JP Hearty blend and I was hooked. Another week later, I returned and told him this is the best coffee I'd ever tasted. I asked him, "Who is J.P.?". He beamed at me and said "that's me". I am so incredibly fortunate that I John was my expert guide through the world of coffee for the 10 years that I lived in Pittsburgh. I've since moved out of state but we place an order every month and always include a pound of JP Hearty in our selection.
