I first reviewed this coffee and gave it one star because I was so disappointed in it. ( I don't see my review listed so I am rewritting and reassessing based on further use.) While it is still disappointing for a number of reasons, it does give a hint of the familiar Starbucks flavor and aroma so I am giving it 3 stars based on that. However you get so little coffee for the buck, I still advise going to Starbucks because you will get way more coffee for your money and the taste is by far richer and bolder. I brew on 8 oz and that is weak to me. 6 oz is o.k. but there is so little coffee why bother. If you want to use this coffee to satisfy a taste for Starbucks in a pinch, then this is good for that. But if you want real robust, piping hot,and a decent amount of coffee,this is not the answer.
I am a cream and sugar man so I cannot speak on how it tastes black. Having said that this coffee will put a boot in your butt! I was a staunch Donut Shop fan, which I still use. But my number one now is Pikes. If I die may they put my ashes in a Pikes Place K-Cup! PS: Oh, add to some cream and sugar to that please!
Pros: BOLD, Pleasing Roast, Smooth Taste, Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter
It is a WONDERFUL time of the morning as my cup fills with this coffee. My only problem is that I run out too often because everyone that comes over, whether they like dark or light roast, loves this coffee!
Just a great roast. It is on par with the same roast you would get at Starbucks. However, I can tell a difference between the fresh ground at a Starbucks location and the K-Cup. IF...you like the "Pike Place" roast at Starbucks...You will *LOVE* the Starbucks K-Cups!
This brew is absolutely wonderful. Easily one of my new favorites. I love Starbucks, but having the ability to pop a K-cup into my Keurig and have it any time I want makes it phenomenal. It's not bitter, it's smooth and it's got a well balanced flavor. I've even drank this lukewarm and it tastes good.
