Starbucks Colombia Coffee Review


[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey, welcome to Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, your place for average-Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee has a prehistoric bird on the bag.

– So today we are reviewing Starbucks Columbia Single Origin Coffee, it’s a medium roast, and it’s supposed to be balanced and nutty.

– Yes.

– 100 % Arabica Coffee, from Columbia

– Right.

– Obviously.

– Question.

– Yes

– Could they call it, Columbia Coffee if it wasn’t single origin?

– Know what I mean?

– Oh, yeah, like all 100% Columbian Coffee.

– Right, right.

– Is it?

– Well I mean Columbian Coffee you would think it would all be single origin.

– Yeah, but.

– Maybe they’re just saying single origin so it sounds fancier.

– But do we really know the definition of single origin, I don’t.

– Yeah, come from one source.

– Well like does that mean.

– Kenyan, it’s from Kenya. Now, maybe not from one farm.

– That’s what I’m wondering. We should’ve looked that up before we start recording.

– No that’s fine.

– Okay, well anyway.

– We don’t know everything.

– No, we certainly don’t. I’m sure someone, down below can comment and explain it to us.

– Yeah.

– So, let’s see, Starbucks this is probably expensive right.

– Yeah we paid $6.99 for the bag, it’s $9.50 regularly. So that’s whatever dollars per pound.

– 12.

– Twelve sixty six.

– Yeah I think it’s like 12 something twelve sixty something a pound.

– So it’s on the higher end

– Yeah

– Of store bought coffees which everybody knows about Starbucks, but if you get it on sale then you don’t have to worry about the higher end.

– Yeah and it’s, you know, Starbucks for us has been mostly miss, hit or miss

– Yeah.

– But mostly miss.

– Or right on the border.

– Yeah.

– Of yeah we can drink it on sale, okay.

– Right, yeah, but it’s just for a full price you know, there’s others.

– Yeah. I’m gonna go down here and get my coffee.

– Yes, I was about to drink it without you. Okay.

– I’m back.

– So the question is, is it nutty and balanced? First of all, do we enjoy it, second of all. Like a little, something on my mug.

– Probably dishwasher soap

– It actually did look like that, so.

– I think it is nutty, a bit

– It is nutty, yeah, a bit nutty, not you know like. The first cup or two that we had out of this bag, I definitely was like, it was bitter.

– Yeah.

– But now, it’s mellowed out. Which we’ve definitely noticed with coffees, like sometimes the first cups are more strong tasting, and then even just over the course of a few days the taste can change.

– Yeah.

– But now it’s kinda mellowed out and I think I like it better.

– And the thing is, you know, a lot of the, well actually all of them say to, when you open it, store it in a dry place.

– Air.

– Where it’s air tight, out of the Sun, I mean the place we store it is out of the Sun.

– It is.

– But it’s not air tight.

– No.

– Cause these bags are not air tight.

– No, how bout you give me an air tight bag Starbucks.

– Exactly!

– And I will put it in a air tight bag.

– That’s right. But so we’ve found out that sometimes when we let it kind of mellow, we like it better.

– Kind of like a wine.

– Yes.

– You know it mellows out a little bit. But, I don’t know, the one thing I will say about this coffee is, I want more flavor. Like I just, I feel like it’s kinda like, it’s okay, but it’s like, for that money I want more.

– Its a Columbian coffee for the masses, or as I like to call them, the sheeple.

– What? That’s not true.

– Sheep, sheep people.

– What if somebody, what if a really nice person out there.

– You know, sheep they follow.

– Sheeple?

– Yeah, sheeple.

– I don’t think so. I think, I think it’s a good coffee-ish, like it, I don’t know, I just wouldn’t buy it again.

– Yeah, I wouldn’t either.

– But just cause it needs.

– And you, pulled the purse strings.

– Yes I do, I think it just needs more flavor, mainly, yeah.

– Yeah.

– Just more, more out of it.

– Yeah, I think probably, two and a half.

– Two and a half, yeah, if it were cheaper I’d put the three, just for enjoyment value.

– Right.

– But since it’s so much more expensive, I’m just, you know.

– Stuck at the two and half

– Yep.

– Well, I think that we concur, with each other, that means that right, with others con-cur.

– I don’t cur, I think it’s probably current, like a flow, like so the where the flow concurs.

– Oh, go with the flow.

– Yeah.

– Like sheeple, so anyway. If you’ve had this Starbucks coffee blend, is it a blend, or a roast, it’s a single origin roast of, Columbian Coffee.

– It’s a medium roast

– Yes.

– I don’t know, it doesn’t say blend.

– So it’s probably just a roast.

– Whatever.

– If you’ve had it and you’ve enjoyed it, or hated it, or disagree with us, or agree with us, or whatever.

– Or if you know the definition of single origin.

– Yeah, we can look it up, and we like when people tell us things to.

– Yeah

– Leave it down on the comments below, and again thanks for joining us for this review and until next time.

– Keep grinding.[/spoiler]
