[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I frequent Starbucks often. My husband is very particular about his coffee. We were skeptical about how the at-home version would taste. My husband took one sip and said it was coffee shop good! We really enjoyed how good it tasted. Coffee snob approved!

I use this coffee every morning in my automatic coffee maker. It smells wonderful while brewing, I can hardly wait for it all to brew! I save several cups at home, and then I take the remainder to work with me in a Starbucks coffee tumbler. Would recommend to family and friends.

I am a long time Starbucks fan and I have tried lots of their great coffees. They are all good. I just tried the rare Colombian and it was smooth and flavorful, but I keep coming back to my favorite Pike Place...to me it is the best coffee SB makes, bar none. Smooth but with complex after tones, very flavorful but really crisp, not thick tasting and strong. I should just stop trying others because I really like old Pike Place.....a wonderful cup of coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We blend our coffees with a decaf flavored coffee from a local store. But it's important to start with a good quality coffee and Pike Place is about as consistent and solid as you get. It's basically the default quality coffee these days and worth brewing

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.] This kcup variety of Starbucks isn't horrible, but it seemed very bitter to me. I drink coffee black and this was not good black. Had to add sugar, which defeats the purpose of a good coffee. Nice try Starbucks, but not my cup of coffee

I use this mostly when on the road. Motels, hotels only want to give you as much coffee as I drink. These packets do not taste like instant coffee. I find these are as good as the instant coffee in Ireland and Scottland. The first places I had tasted instant that was like brewed coffee. Try different brews to find what you like best.

After this product being out of stock for weeks, I was finally able to order my favorite blend coffee. Shipment arrived quickly, however, shipment never arrives without the boxes inside the shipping box being crushed. This happens every time. Poor packaging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a coffee to either wake you up, grow hair on your chest or have a morning bowel movement this is the coffee for you. Very good and very strong coffee. After having weak stuff for so long it is nice to drink something strong again.

My husband and I first experienced this coffee on Veterans Day when Starbucks gave us free coffee. We are hooked! We bought a bag and had it ground by the barista and we’ve been drinking it every day, sometimes twice per day. It has an excellent nutty flavor we enjoy and is honestly flavorful with no bitter aftertaste. I advise following the instructions on the bag for a perfect cup.
