I was so excited to get this coffee as I love all things pumpkin spice. Honestly, it had no pumpkin spice flavor what-so-ever. I guess I'll have to look for another brand to try. I'm so disappointed.
I don’t understand why some of the other reviewer’s didn’t care for this coffee. I put just a tablespoon extra in my pot because I like coffee that’s very strong. I top my steaming hot coffee with a little bit of whip cream and it is so delicious!
First Starbucks product I would call epic fail. Doesn’t even taste like coffee. Made one pot, my hubby and I both disliked it. Package went into the trash.
I've bought the pumpkin spice coffee in the past, but something seems missing or changed. The flavor is good, just very mild and doesn't have that coffee taste. I knew it wouldn't taste like the PSL - I specifically bought this coffee and not creamer for that reason, as a typical PSL can be too sweet for my liking. After making my first cup with the K-cup I even had to make sure I bought the coffee and not tea by accident. As another reviewer put it, it tastes like cinnamon and nutmeg in hot water. Where's the coffee?

We're glad to hear you're a loyal fan of our K-Cups and we're very sorry to hear this box was missing its strong savory Coffee flavor. We'd like to further look into your Pumpkin Spice K-Cups. Please expect an email.
We have purchased the Starbucks pumpkin coffee before and have enjoyed the scent and faint taste of pumpkin flavoring in our coffee. However, this time it neither tastes nor smells like pumpkin in any way. It smells exactly like the regular starbucks blended coffee. We were very disappointed in the purchase this time.
