Starbucks in the bag brew at home coffee

My Safeway had this on sale for $5.99 a bag if you buy 3. I bought Breakfast Blend, House Blend and Pikes Peak roast. I like both the House and breakfast blend. I liked one more than the other but can't remember which. I've never tried Pikes Peak. Do you have a favorite out of any Starbucks coffees? I just finished a bag of some kind of spring blend I got on sale. It was nice.

I hate HATE Pike Roast. It's kind of strong (though I like strong coffee) and seems bitter, smokey and acidic. I love the Sumatra. Safeway possibly has it.

Haha. I wasn't going to say anything but I am having a cup now and I am not loving it. You're right it's bitter and says smooth on the bag. I was wondering if Safeway would let me exchange it? I'll look for Sumatra. I might have over looked it as I was looking for a medium roast.

Caffe' Verona is my favorite. Its very dark roast with hints of chocolate. I hate Pikes roast, its weak. My other favorite is the French Roast.

French Roast, Italian Roast and my absolute fave, Kamoda Dragon. All very, very dark and strong!

I like the Blonde roasts the best - Veranda and Willow.

And Pike's Peak is one of my favorites Smiley Wink I like strong, bold coffee and consider this mild!

I think my all time favorites are Komodo Dragon and French Roast. But I like most of their coffees.

Thanks everyone! I'll try the Pikes Peak again tomorrow. I have tried the Komodo Dragon and often gift that to my father in law. I haven't tried the Blonde's yet. Is the coffee brown?! Lol. The Verona sounds really good with hints of chocolate. I might just have to get another 3 at that price!

House Blend is my favorite.
