[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally don't drink coffee. But this one smelled so good I just had to give it a try. A little sugar and I took a sip. I was blown away with how great it tasted. I could taste a little hint of Cocoa and a nutty flavor too. Looks like I might be a coffee drinker now.

Pikes Place was expensive but truly good and so worth the cost. Unfortunately, something has changed the flavor in the past 2 years (source or quality of beans, blend, roast... I don't know what) that has made the coffee much worse. I have tried sticking it out in the hope that it was a temporary anomaly, but it is now consistently bad. It is a shame, but I will have to find another coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This favor is wonderful and I love that I can make it at home. Refreshing and gives you the boost that you will need to wake up in the morning and get your day started. The k cup option is so convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always starbucks coffee knocks it out of the park with their pike place medium rost coffee grounds. Smells just wonderful with a nice bold but not too bold flavor. I love the way my house smells in the mornings while my coffee is brewing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks coffee is just a step above the rest. I honestly think it has more flavor than other brands and it doesn’t get lost in cream and sugar either. The bag itself is easy to open and close and I like that they completely fill the bag.

We are passionate coffee drinkers and very particular about the quality of coffee we use. Starbuck's instant coffee is the BEST tasting instant coffee you can purchase! It is perfect for daily use or an on the go cup. Starbuck's instants DO NOT taste anything like instants commonly found in grocery stores, and leaves one hard pressed to distinguish it from fresh brewed. Our favorites are the Columbian and Pike Place ... both are awesome !!

Just received my box of Pike Place Roast K-Cup Pack, 54 count. Thrilled that I can fix my own at home and take it to work. Most mornings I am in a rush and I fix my one cup and drink it leisurely while working. Yeah! This is a wonderful way to start my day.

We always do a black taste test of the coffee we purchase and do the Barista thing after that. Pike Place is a well balanced coffee with a bit lower acidity. In this case we have been mixing the (pre-ground) Pike Place done in a French Press (due to the size of the pre-grind I reduced the steep time by 15 seconds) with several shots of Sumatra based Espresso. Due to the availability, we purchased the Pike Place as Ground (very unusual for us.) In our opinion, Starbucks continues to have the best coffee products on the market.

Best coffee ever, and now I can brew it at home. I only need to figure out a better water to make it taste closer to in-store brewing. Was so excited to see Starbucks made these K-cups when I got my Keurig, and now Pikes will occupy most of my supply!

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.
