Pike Place Roast has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. I used to only buy it brewed fresh from the store, but now that I have a nice coffee grinder, I buy whole bean Pike Place Roast from the grocery store and make it fresh at home. This also saves me a little money which is nice (as opposed to buying a grande from Starbucks). Taste is a nice medium with a solid flavor, but not overpowering. I drink coffee black, so it's important to me that it taste delicious without any extras.
I grind the coffee beans fresh daily and enjoy them in my coffee press. I alternate between the Espresso and Pike Place and love them both equally. Rich, dark and flavorful coffee. You will not be disappointed !!!
This roast is on the mid-light side of a medium roast. I opened my brand new store-bought bag of coffee beans, and the beans were nearly black. The beans were secreting oils from over-roasting. They need to change the scale for Pike Place. This was easily a medium-dark roast. The aftertaste burns my throat as I type this message (this is no exaggeration).
