Love the aroma these K-Cups give. Aroma therapy in the morning to be sure. I work nights, so these are great before I leave for work and to have a couple in my bag when I hit the wall at 5 am. Yeah, sure, grinding my own beans would be optimal, but I tend to waste too much coffee that way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Starbucks coffee and wanted to try this Veranda Blend Blonde Roast. In the mornings we prefer a lighter roast. We program our coffee maker at night so in the morning it's ready. Waking up to the aroma alone gives me the anticipation of having a great cup of coffee. It has a touch of malt and chocolate added to the blend making it very appealing to taste. It's a nice smooth blend. When we get the bag of ground coffee we can use it either for a full pot or in the K-Cup holder for just one cup. I like it because on my busy days when I need coffee in the afternoon I make a cup and add some flavored creamer as a treat. When you want a smooth cup of coffee this is the one to have, Starbucks does it again for our family adding another great blend to our coffee collection. #ad #freesample

This coffee is rich in taste, smooth, no bitterness whatsoever. I like strong coffee. I use this to press. I just wish they would make it easier to decipher the whole bean and ground when ordering.... I always want ground, but end up getting beans because I did not read the fine print close enough.

This is an excellent roast and blend. It almost has a dried fruit taste to it, very smooth all around. The finish is so clean, its the kind of coffee you can drink all day. The only advice is that you need to brew this a bit stronger than the Starbucks medium and darker roasts. That's key. Don't give up on it after your first batch, try brewing it stronger. Recommend a French press (that should go without saying though). Remember a lite roast has more caffinee! I was tweaking out my first time drinking this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Veranda Blend Blonde Roast is my favorite of all the varieties of coffee from Starbucks. It's not bitter like a few other coffee blends of theirs I have tried. Being a lighter roast I find that it gives me a smooth quick boost of energy that lasts all day! One cup and I'm good to go!

Coffee started to taste all the same to me; I bought a pound of this when I was in a store to buy gift cards and remembered that I still had a gift card of my own. Had them grind it for me for percolator (I know, I see coffee snobs cringing) and found it flavorful but not acidic. I bought a new grinder and started getting this regularly. I AM disappointed that this is not labeled as 'bird friendly' since there is a hummingbird on the label. In fact, NO current Starbucks blends are--it's a designation created by the Smithsonia for coffees that are organic and shade-grown, in places that do not cut trees needed for migrating bird habitat. It does make a difference. But, I like the coffee--I wish Starbucks would make more of an effort to find bird friendly suppliers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nicely roasted coffee, it’s not too bitter and strong. I like how smooth the coffee tastes. I usually drink a latte or espresso in the morning and love using this with my coffee machine. Highly recommend anyone to try it out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks - the brand we all know and love - does a great job at achieving consistency in their products. The Veranda blend is no exception. A lighter roast which delivers a slightly sweeter, lighter mouth feel. A great morning coffee - and also a great coffee in the afternoon - even on hot days - the light mouthfeel gives notes of almost sweet candy. Can't go wrong!

Via Veranda is an excellent cup of coffee by just adding water. you can make it strong or mild by how much water you add. Perfect for camping or visiting the tea tottler relative , great in the morning or the afternoon. Tasts just like real coffee because it is real coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to have my coffee every morning and this one is fantastic! The flavor is robust and calming at same time! No need for creamer as I love the flavor and just add small amount. Sweetener to it. If you love your coffee this is a must have.
