Starbucks Medium Roast K-Cup Coffee Pods, Pike Place, 72 ct.

You know I wasn't going to review these because, really, it's coffee? BUT, since I received an email asking me to review my recent purchase of Starbucks Pike Place K-Cups... GLADLY. 
I can NOT tell you what an absolute joy it is to get up in the morning and make your coffee only to have every single pod from your box (batch# 5101670863) explode in your machine spewing grounds everywhere and giving you a giant mess to clean up. And I mean "absolute joy" with every single bit of sarcasm intended. 
These last 2 boxes that I've purchased have performed this exploding pod trick, and evidently this is not just a problem with Sam's club shipments either. I had this problem a few months back with 72 ct boxes from another retailer as well. You get a few good boxes with no issues and then you get a few boxes where every, or every other, pod explodes. Ruins your coffee and your morning because now you have to disassemble and clean your entire brewing assembly and run water through the machine to clear out the grounds.
Starbucks quality control for their K-cups has evidently turned into trash, which is exactly where these pods will be going, and I'll just buy Caribou from now on.

What the actual...?

We buy Starbucks for our customers at our office since most people recognize the brand for very good coffee. The flavor is good and the coffee smooth and not bitter, but not as flavorful as some of the Starbucks darker roasts. There are brands that are equally good at a better price.

Good but pricey
