[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- [J.R.] Hey welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee your place for average-Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is a house-blend, like house music.

– [Kayla] Today we are reviewing Starbucks House Blend which is supposed to be rich and lively. It’s a medium roast, 100 percent arabica coffee. Yeah, it just says that it’s loaded with flavor balancing taste of nuts and cocoa, and a touch of sweetness.

– Ah.

– The question is, do we like it like that?

– And do we see the same thing they do?

– Right.

– Kayla is going to get the coffee now.

– I was going to say we can talk about price

– Welcome back, oh the price was expensive.

– Yes.

– We did buy it on sale, but, normally it’s like 9.70 9.50 a bag, which is like 12 something a pound which is on the higher end of the coffee’s we review

– Which is normally what you’ll find in the grocery store.

– Right, yeah.

– So let’s see, do we concur with the master roasters and blenders at the Starbucks in Seattle?

– Well I’ll say, overall I like it. Like, it’s not my favorite, but it’s not horrible.

– It’s passable.

– Yeah it’s passable. Roasty, almost burnt or bittered but it’s like right on that edge, so. Maybe a little closer than I’d like it to be, yeah.

– Yeah, and certainly the cocoa flavor is there.

– Nutty.

– Not like chocolate, like, “Mmmm” but cocoa, powdery type and nutty.

– Yeah nutty, a little nutty. Not like overly nutty, but which can be a good thing but this is, you know. It has not as much flavor as I would want.

– Yeah.

– In this kind of price range, I’m looking for serious coffee flavor.

– And the same as with the Starbucks Pike Place they said to use two tablespoons per cup and we did that and we didn’t like it and so we switched to one and a half and it was better that way.

– Yeah I enjoy it a lot more this way that you made it today

– Yeah so keep in mind, that when you’re having a coffee, if it’s just like there’s just too much going on here, then use a smaller amount of coffee but I think probably for the Donut Rating maybe a three at most? Yeah, yeah because it’s so expensive.

– Yeah, if it was less expensive then I would say more towards the three and a half but yeah, since this is so expensive: three.

– Yeah, well if you’ve have any Starbucks Coffees that you’ve loved or hated and you want us to drink them because you hate us too, then let us know what they are we’re always looking for new coffees to review. Someone up until this point has recommended Starbucks Yukon Blend, I think is what it was called and I tried to find it at the store but I couldn’t when we were there last time but, either way, we’re looking but thanks for joining us for this review and until next time…

– Keep grindin’
