Hi Martine,

Yes, Pike Place Roast disfavor appears pretty conclusive at this point, almost 8 months since Starbucks introduced the new everyday brew last April.

Even if it’s not an absolute landslide majority, it sure has tweaked a significant number of Starbucks customers.

And interesting that Starbucks employees are chiming in as well.

Thanks for sharing,

Mark

Hate Pikes Place and I know a lot of SB employees who say they are getting a lot of complaints but can’t do anything about it. We started a new facebook group called ‘I HATE Pikes Place Coffee’….check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=35556619310

Thanks for the info.
I think it’s grreat that Starbucks offers french press coffee! In my opinion it’s the only way to really enjoy coffee’s character. I started french pressing all my coffee after reading about it here http://www.coffee-illuminated.com/french-press.html

I think if they are going to offer it though- their employees should be very familiar with it. It is beyond me how you can call Starbucks employees a Barista when they don’t even really know what a macchiato is.

French roast is one of the darkest (if not the darkest) roast they offer. Next time do Italian.

Since you keep up with Starbucks, I’m curious if they are as aware of their fair trade blend as their french press and how often they brew it?

Thanks for the update. Coincidentally, it is the unavailability of my three favorite blends – Sumatra, Sulawesi and Guatemala Antigua – that makes me most sad. I guess our tastes are very similar.

I flipped for the Pike Place Blend from the start. I typically brewed Verona as a bold option. French pressing is a good choice to punch up the boldness. The prep makes the drinking more enjoyable. Also try Kenya (bold).
