If you love dark...this will do nicely. The minute you open the bag, the color and shine jump out along with the aroma. My mother and Aunt swear by this, but my stomach has too many issues for something this heavy. It is very good if this is your thing, though!

I been using this product for years! Sam's offers an incredible price on this coffee. I always prefer the bean coffee because it stays fresh longer. I do not buy anywhere else because I do not get the price I get at Sam's for the quality of this coffee.

Coffee is a personal taste. This blend is very strong, but is not bitter. I have been using the Breakfast Blend for years. Decided to try the House Blend. It is much stronger than the Breakfast Blend. However, I have gotten used to it and actually enjoy the flavor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both K-cup Pike Place and House Blend are strong bold medium roasts coffees. It is a great blend fir breakfast and a shot of energy in each cup! I really like adding milk and brown sugar creamer to give a creamy coffee taste! I received a #freesample to taste test and enjoyed both! #ad

Whole Beans- Pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure what to do after I opened the bag and realized I bought whole bean coffee. That's what I get for shopping while talking on the phone. So I threw them in the Ninja blender and it turned out perfect. What a beautiful aroma this made in my house too. The coffee is so much fresher doing it this way so I will grind my own beans from now on! :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed both of the K-cups of the Starbucks coffee. The House Blend was very smooth. The Pike Place has a little hint of flavor that I enjoyed in the evening after dinner. Both are great coffees for every day. They are very easy to make in my Keurig. They are great choices to enjoy Starbucks at home and not pay the higher prices when going to the cafe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your looking for a comforting, high-quality and convenient cup of coffee brewed at home, then look no further than Starbucks K-cups. I really enjoyed the perfectly balanced flavor that blends well with my coffee creamer. #ad #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a medium roast coffee with a delicious smooth flavor. The aroma is captivating and wakes me up in the morning. One of the best coffee I've ever tasted. These pods are perfect for a quick cup of coffee on the go , or a cup of coffee at the end of the day. Definitely my preferred blend! #freesample

I've brewed many different beans and these are good. I use a percolator mostly and also with a french press. I like the french press result better (more intense flavor) but my old style percolator coffee pot makes more at a time so I go that direction. I like the 40 ounce size. I keep them in a special bean canister with proper venting to help them stay fresh as long as possible. I would buy these again at a sale price. If not on sale, I buy an Member's Mark brand but only b/c my budget doesn't match my taste. Starbuck's are a much more favorable bean. I like my coffee strong and black.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed the house blend first thing in the morning. It's a smooth flavor, but I wouldn't say I noticed the hints of toffee that are advertised. But this is a great early morning roast and highly recommend! #freesample
