The new brown bag Pike Place Roast is awful. The original flew off of our Navy commissary shelves, the new brown bags just sit there. Please continue to make original available at your stores. Vendors are trying to pass this stuff off as the original.

I have been a Via Columbian girl for years even buying it in bulk, but recently receiving Pikes with a mug for Christmas I have changed over. I love the smooth flavor and I feel it's a bit more mild for me and makes a great everyday blend for work and home. Will be signing up for subscription to this one and making sure my desk at work and home always has this in stock. Never thought I would love an instant coffee like this, but it doesn't taste instant and the consistency is amazing.

I was able to get my hands on the old bag that had the 71 on it and I can now confirm, that the new pike's place roast is different!! The new formula is what others are mentioning as bad!!! It seems like a darker roast and has bitter notes. I hope Starbucks goes back to the old formula, otherwise I'll have to find another medium roast elsewhere. In the meantime I will savor and enjoy my last bag of the old formula.

ok, kids, this is our office coffee...full flavor, not bitter or overpowering, with a good buzz included....we work in emergent sevices, you know, medicine, communications, and coordinating everything from feeding to sheltering, to basically babysitting people in really bad situations, and preparing of all the natural events that can and do occur in a very really rural area. if you are in the trade, you need to spoil yourself, give yourself little treats/rewards to keep going...maybe washing your mouth, or just taking 5 in a quiet place...in our trade:not a happening thing, but a really good cup of coffee, from the french press and a camel just gives enough of respite to mmake things good...the first 24-36 hrs are critical...pretty stressful, so have a good cup and smoke get your team and debrief, destress...just take 5 and totally unload, plus life looks pretty good...things are not as bad a Charlie-Foxtrot as you thougt...there is hope and light at then end of the tunnel...a little sleep and do it again

Pike Place Roast has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. I used to only buy it brewed fresh from the store, but now that I have a nice coffee grinder, I buy whole bean Pike Place Roast from the grocery store and make it fresh at home. This also saves me a little money which is nice (as opposed to buying a grande from Starbucks). Taste is a nice medium with a solid flavor, but not overpowering. I drink coffee black, so it's important to me that it taste delicious without any extras.

I have been hardcore AB fan since 2011, when I began drinking coffee. My hubby and I buy Pike Place whole bean, and suddenly it tastes like warm water! WHY?! would you change something so many love?! Idiots... you don’t fix what ain’t broke! Put it back... until they do my Starbucks days are over. What is everyone changing too? I need a new coffee now!

The coffee is great! I love Pike Place Roast. What i didn't like is it took forever to get here. When i ordered it they said a week . It took 2 weeks. It could have been because of the holidays. So, I'll order it again later. Allowing 2 weeks, will not have me out of coffee before it gets here.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks brand coffee is the best there is out there. The pike place coffee flavor is one of their best flavors. I love how easy the Kcups are to use. I can easily drink 2 to 3 cups of the pike place flavor.

I had my doubts when Starbucks began making K-Cups. I thought the taste would be compromised, but I was wrong. Pike Place, Christmas Blend and the Thanksgiving Blend proved me wrong - they are fantastic and taste as good as I expect from my Starbucks coffee. Feeling happy with my Starbucks!

Used to be my absolute favorite, but something's changed. It is lacking in fullness and body & leaves just a blah taste. I won't be buying it anymore. Too bad, Starbucks used to provide a good cup of coffee with Pike Place & I know others have noticed the change.
