Dear Starbucks Team,
Could you please provide information on the caffeine content of your coffee pods, including any variations between pod types? I’d appreciate your guidance as I track my caffeine intake in pregnancy.
I have been drinking the Starbucks Pike Place Blend (black) for the last 5 years as my house coffee. I drink it daily and have absolutely loved it. However, about 2 or 3 months ago I noticed that the coffee tastes cheaper and more bitter. It's definitely not the same blend that it used to be. To prove it, I opened an older bag that I saved and it tasted excellent, the way that I have become accustomed too. However, when I compared it to the new bag, the new bag tasted far worse, much more bitter. The variation isn't due to the bag because I have had this problem with the last 3 bags of Pike Place Blend that I have ordered. Thus, I would like to know if you altered the Pike Place Blend to make it a cheaper lower quality coffee. My strong suspicion is that you have, which would be very unfortunate since it's the seminal coffee blend that made Starbucks an icon. SBUX's thoughts would be appreciated.
I love how convenient these packets are! Every morning I just add my coffee packet, sweetener, boiling water from my instant kettle, and heavy cream! It’s a perfect, quick treat. No need to stand in line.
I purchased a ninja coffee maker and wanted to find a really good quality coffee. I was excited when I decided to purchase Pike Place kcups. The coffee tastes good but it's a real disappointment when I get a mouthful of coffee grinds. Yuck! This was the case with 90% of the kcups. I bought a 60 count box. I tried other kcups in my new coffee maker and there was no problem. It's the Pike Place kcups. I am very disappointed. I was looking forward to drinking high quality coffee in the mornings. Could this be a bad box and it wouldn't happen again? Should I try again or move on. I'm not sure.
