Ok, like ya'll arent' going to be pissed by this one. Hey just like the next guy, I loved the idea that Starbucks was sick of getting their butt kicked by Dunkin Donunts and Mc Delish and like most companies acted to late and tried to present the worlds greatest cup of coffee to compete against the common drip. No small feat. So i have had it several times now and generally liked it; Sort of. So I got a pound of Pike Place (Original flavor) beans and brought them home for the taste test. I decided to do two tests. Simply pour a great americano, and then a double espresso. First the americano, smooth but flat. Let me explain, there is basically just one flavor, while being somewhat mild like i like it really didn't go anywhere. (7+) pretty good cup of coffee. Then came the espresso. I had higher hopes here and sure enough the espresso was better in its concentrated form. I like the acidity a lot and there were even a few hints of lemon. What was lacking however was there still was a flatness to the coffee. There were not layers of flavors like i am use to in Peet's or do i dare say Montana Coffee Trader...Montana blend. (8) I have to admit it tasted significantly better than most Starbucks blends but still not great.
