Starbucks Pike Place Roast Coffee —
I heard about the supposedly new Pikes brew and wondered what all the hubbub was about. So I asked a friend who is also a coffee snob (as we like to call ourselves) and he told me that Pikes is actually the coffee that Starbuck's started with back in the 70's when they opened their first coffee store. So Starbuck's has essentially gone back to their roots in order to keep in step with McDonalds who has cut into their territory. I finally went to my local Starbuck's and ordered the infamous Pike's and it tasted JUST LIKE the coffee at McDonald's (which is quite good for fast food coffee) It is less bitter than the other varieties Starbucks carries. There is nothing remarkable about it. It is overpriced for a simple cup of java. It is just a more traditionally balanced flavored coffee. The decaf tastes the same so if you can't handle the caffeine, you will enjoy the decaf. But if you prefer the more robust coffees, this one will disappoint you. It comes up short for us strong coffee lovers.
