We love Pike Place and always get it at Starbucks. When I order bags for home use the quality is very inconsistent. One bag will be full of perfect beans, the next will be broken bits of beans that look like the bottom of the barrel. I never know what I am going to get when I open the bag. This last order we said we would see how it goes. If it's as bad as the last order we won't buy again. I don't want to pay for broken bits and dregs of coffee beans.
I love this coffee! I brew my coffee in the morning to wake me up. While I'm in the shower I can smell it and I can't wait to make my 1st cup of coffee! So delicious!
I've tried many different blends and roasts from Starbucks and this is by far my favorite. I am a self proclaimed "Coffee Snob" and I can't get enough Pikes Place. I recently moved from the big city to rural Nebraska and LOVE that I can get my Pikes shipped to my front door.
This is my favorite coffee. I usually buy it in 5# bags at store. With gas prices and the store being 30 miles away, I ordered on line this time. I was not able to get it in 5# bags. I don't like dealing with 5 bags to store. I hope I will able to order 5# bags next time.
In the past I have used the Cafee Verona, which I love. I decided just for a change to try the Pike Place Roast. I think I had gotten it a couple of years ago and had liked it. I always make my own Iced coffee and this tastes great.
