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.

    JP Hearty -An everyday morning blend

    Posted by Jan B Fleming on Jan 28th 2026

    JP Hearty is my favorite morning blend. It has just the right amount of bold flavor, without being too strong. Give it a try; there is nothing like it on the market, and you will never go back to anything else.

    Quality Coffee

    Posted by Karen on Jan 28th 2026

    I have been buying coffee beans from Prestogeorge for many years, both from the location in The Strip and online (I live out of state). The quality is consistent, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The coffee industry has been hit hard recently, driving prices up, but Prestogeorge coffee is worth it to me and I will be a customer as long as they are in business.

    Worth getting up in the morning

    Posted by Bill Miller on Jan 28th 2026

    40 years ago a young man stumbled into a little strip district coffee shop intoxicated by the aroma wafting outside. A n older apron clad gentleman attending a chitty bang bang type machine kindly educated me on small batch roasted coffee.. realizing I never had ventured past Folgers instant coffee , recommended the Jo hearty blend.. asking who it was named after he beamed and said your looking at him! 40 years later I still look forward to waking up in the morning to a freshly brewed cup of Jo hearty blend coffee . I’ve tried hundreds of coffees around the world . This is still the one that does it for me

    Best coffee ever

    Posted by Sara Orndoff-Snyder on Jan 28th 2026

    This is the coffee you want in your cup every morning. My husband and I drink this daily as our go to bean. Guests come to my house and want to know what I brewed, I have sent this to friends out of town and they start a subscription! You cannot go wrong with JP HEARTY!!

    I LOVE Prestogeorge coffee. I can't drink anything else. Seriously, I travel with it. Not just JP Hearty, I love many of the roasts that Prestogeorge provides. Your search for the best tasting coffee is over!

    The best!

    Posted by JBR on May 4th 2022

    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

    Posted by Michael Turner on Jan 8th 2022

    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.
