Starbucks, SBK12411960, Pike Place Ground Coffee, 18 / Box

This coffee is absolutely delicious! You know it’s from the Starbucks brand as soon you brew the first cup 😊. The strength is in the medium range, so it’s not too light nor too dark either. Just a perfect blend of coffee with a very nice aroma. It has a fresh taste and is my first choice for my morning coffee. Great value for my money and definitely recommend it! 🌟🤓

You know, like many people I haven't always been a fan of Starbucks coffee (leaving aside the current controversies around unionizing there, and arguments over money, as usual). A long time ago it was baffling to see the popularity of the brand and its stores, because everybody knew their coffee was awful."Burnt", said everyone, correctly.They took care of that quite a while back, and now their coffee is legitimately wonderful-- as good as any, I'd say, or near enough.Here's a pound-and-a-half of Starbucks house blend for $10. Wow. And it is really, really delicious coffee. I can attest to it, since I'm just a little bit of a coffee afficionado.What it says about the coffee on the coffee bag is actually exactly what's true about the coffee in the bag, if you can believe it.It has a wonderful complexity with hints of exotic flavors, and, overall, it's just a very pleasant coffee for every day. I love medium roasts because they never offend and always please, if they're a good blend and roast.I'm very happy to have run across Starbucks coffee here! I've been buying it over and over again! Drinking this very fine, even gourmet coffee, and I'm not even spending tons of money.Yaay!

It’s an easy go to. I’m not a super fan of disposable cups because less sustainable. Ground and gold filter lets me make my pot whatever size I need and use reusable mug. Just a little something that spares the waste of multiple k-cups

Love this medium blend coffee! It’s the perfect size bag for a weeks worth of coffee for my husband and I. We enjoy the automatic subscription so we don’t have to think about it. Coffee is fresh and delicious!

The aroma is a bit different in a good way. It took a few tries to get the right measure (approx 1.25/1.5 increase over my usual measure) Then I began to appreciate the tasting notes, most notably chocolate though definitely not like mocha. I learned something that seems worth sharing given skyrocketing coffee costs:The water and its storage vessel, like brewing& drinking vessels, are as important as the bean. Stainless steel cancels garlic/onion on the skin by canceling flavor &odor molecules, which interact very closely (ie: stuffy nose = dulled taste) Used at any point in coffee brewing/drinking, steel mutes flavor/aroma profile, and adds metallic bite like water from a stainless bottle (ie: beverage bottlers use aluminum/glass, not steel cans) It’s been an eye-opener switching to ceramic, enameled, glass…for coffee making/drinking, huge difference!

Perfect aroma taste of java!

Best French roast I have found and at a reasonable price for 28 ounce bag

Great coffee will buy again and again
