STARBUCKS® BLONDE ROAST
“Starbucks® coffee
is known for being bold. But what if you want a cup that’s just as
great-tasting, but not as dark roasted? Enter Starbucks®Blonde
Roast coffees. It’s the coffee Starbucks has been missing — made
for the people they’ve been missing.”
We all
know that if it's Starbucks, it's good (at least for us non-snobs
anyway). Starbucks Blond Roast is smooth and tasty, but, I find it
to be too light for my taste. The Blond Roast comes out too close to
hot water, especially with the amount of cream I like. I could
barely tell there was coffee in my cup when I brewed up a pot.
I am
not what anyone could call a “coffee person”. For most of my life
I have just had what coffee was available to me and usually, it
wasn't good. I like my coffee to be very strong with a lot of cream
so, it's probably no surprise that I enjoy lattes and cappuccinos
over a regular cup of Joe. Of course, better coffee is always nice,
but I don't consider it to be a prerequisite.
The
consensus among those I have given coupons to seems to be the same.
The Blond Roast is liked, but most prefer the more traditional coffee
blends from Starbucks.
The
cost is also a major factor, the very good coupons I got in my BzzKit
combined with store sales is just enough to make the coffee
reasonably priced. At the grocery store Starbucks drip coffee runs
at about $10 for a 12 oz bag. For comparison a 34 oz bucket of Folgers
is like $14. Yeah, Folgers isn't as good but, I wouldn't consider
Starbucks to be good enough to justify the price.
