Grounds & Hounds Rescue Roast vs Soul Pup Coffee

Both are organic, 100% Arabica blends from Grounds & Hounds, so the choice comes down to roast and flavor. Rescue Roast is a medium roast with caramel and dark chocolate and a raisin-pecan finish; Soul Pup is a medium-dark roast with vanilla, walnut and chocolate-covered strawberry. Rescue Roast has the longer track record and more ratings, but some owners say recent bags smell flat and taste less fresh. Soul Pup draws praise for a smooth, creamy, savory cup and suits dark-roast drinkers.

  • Choose the Rescue Roast if you want a balanced medium roast with caramel and chocolate notes and a bag that comes in 12 oz or 5 lb.
  • Choose the Soul Pup if you prefer a darker, richer roast with vanilla and walnut notes and a creamier body.

Neither bag is bigger; both come in 12 oz. Rescue Roast also comes in a 5 lb bag, which suits heavy drinkers who want fewer reorders.
