Pike Place is one the few k-cups I will spend a little more money on because it always comes through with a good smooth flavor, does not ever get acidic either.
I prefer Starbucks coffee in general and Pikes Peak is my favorite. No bitterness, very smooth. I'll occasionally brew their Verona or French Roast but Pikes Peak is the go to every day choice
Been drinking Pike for years. This batch had a very different taste and a very different aroma. The roast was definitely different. Won't stop me from sticking with it though.
