I have experimented with a bunch of different beans from Starbucks and landed on this one as the perfect roast for me--rich flavor, but mild...never bitter. It really makes my day when I make my own lattes.
I've tried them all. Pike is the one I keep going back to. Not too strong, not too weak. Excellent flavor. Very consistent. Whenever the other coffees get to be too overwhelming, Pike Place is my Saving Grace.
Good product, for the price on promotion. I probably would not buy it at full price and still need to pay for shipping. But again - quality enjoyable coffee.
