Starbucks is a staple here in Seattle and one can grow weary of it. Then along came their Pike Place roast (named after their first shop down on Pile Place) and really delighted my taste buds. It has a smooth texture and leans toward the darker side of coffee without the bitter after taste.
This coffee is exactly as described. I enjoy its slight nutty-ness. It is definitely a very appealing coffee. Perfect medium roast and just a slight roasted (or to me burnt) aftertaste which is not unpleasant. It leaves you with enough aftertaste to know it is a strong medium roast. Perfect to wake up to in the morning and I quite enjoy drinking it slowly.
