[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is definitely my new favorite coffee. The flavor is so good it doesn’t even need anything extra in it. It gives me that extra pick me up I need in the morning. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

I have tried other coffees in the past, but Pike roast coffee is the best....I have recommended it to friends, family and students at the college I go to....and they all loved it, it's a perfect blend. Try it and tell me I'm wrong....you can't can you....

Pike used to be by far the best coffee we brewed at home. Something changed a few months ago. Looking at other reviews and glad to see we aren't imagining this. So disappointed!! Wont be buying any more of this unless they change it back to how it used to be.

Very disappointed! I agree with the other reviews! I have been drinking Pikes roast since it first came in the whole bean bullet bag. (Many yrs). I was so excited when it came out in VIA form. It was great and had a rich fresh roasted Carmel flavor. Quite good on a stand alone basis. Now has to have cream and sugar. Some packets I've gotten also have been solid. In my opinion the Folders is a bit better. I have know idea what you at Starbucks are trying to pull off but the formula has indeed changed and I am disappointed that you are cutting corners and passing this stuff off for quality. Especially for this price point!

This used to be a real easy way to make a decent cup of coffee. They switched from micro ground, to some instant blend. Ran out a few days ago (Oct 2015) and bought a new box. Got home and made a fresh cup. Couldn't even finish it. Equivalent to something you might get at a gas station now. Will not buy again unless they change back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee is so good. The taste is so bold an flavorful. It's not to harsh with the blend. Has a smooth texture. An it's a great flavored coffee definitely going to be purchasing some more. Already recommended this to my friends and family members.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fantastic, delicious every day coffee. It is one of Starbucks staples for a reason. I would recommend trying it. It is my favorite go to for every morning. It pairs well with any flavored creamers as well if you like that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Starbucks pike place K-cups are perfect! They taste great and it is a great way to start my morning. I only have one cup of coffee so I love the convenience of the kcup! The pike place blend is balanced and tastes great. Not too strong.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been drinking Starbucks kcup pike for a few weeks and I really like this coffee, it's strong and flavorful, but not to strong it's just right.I definitely taste some chocolate notes in the favor.
