your place for average Joe coffee reviews.
Today's coffee is from Seattle,
but thank the Lord it's not raining.
(catchy music)
- Alright today we are reviewing
Starbuck's Pie Place Roast,
which is supposed to be smooth and balanced.
It's a medium roast.
And on the bag it says basically that
you shouldn't really have to pick out any,
or you can't really pick out any
particular flavors.
- Mmmm hmmm.
- Everything's supposed to just be consistent
and harmonious.
But then also,
it says that there are flavors of cocoa
and toasted nuts.
- That's weird.
- Yeah.
- It's like why name flavors.
How about this is a no label flavor society.
(laughs)
- Yeah.
- Why point out those flavors if you're not
supposed to be able to taste them.
- Right.
- Separately.
But what did we taste?
I don't know.
- Right, so this is a 12 ounce bag,
and the price was, what?
- Expensive.
(laughs)
Nine something,
so it was like 12 something a pound.
Which is on the higher end for average coffee.
- Yeah, 9.50 a bag.
Apparently was not on sale.
- No, it was on sale.
That's the regular.
- Oh. - We bought it
for like 6.99.
- Uh yeah. - So it's not as...
- We never pay full price for coffee.
- Not as bad, but if you're gonna get it
normally it's gonna be nine dollars a bag.
- Mmm hmmm.
- Our thoughts on this - Mmm hmmm.
- Are... - Yeah.
- As follows.
- So to me,
it's bitter
and burnt tasting.
- Yep.
Not burnt chocolate either.
- No no, not the pleasant kind of burned
or kind of bitter.
- Right. - There's some bitterness
sometimes like in Pete's Coffee and stuff
that's kind of nice but... - Mmm hmmm.
- This is just kind of burnt and bitter
- Yeah. - And I don't really enjoy it
at all.
- And on the bag it says to use two tablespoons
full per six fluid ounces
- Mmm hmmm. - Of water.
We did that the first time we drank it
and it was not as good as even
this with one and a half
- Yeah. - Tablespoons per
six fluid ounce cup.
- Yeah.
- So we made it a little better
by reducing the amount of coffee
- Right. - we put into the cup,
but it's still - Yeah.
- Is not to our liking.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Especially at that price.
- Yeah, at that price.
- Well, even then,
even if it was less I wouldn't
- Yeah. - I don't think I would.
- Yeah, even if it was less
I'd be like no thanks.
It's not one I want to buy again.
Donut rating on this?
Two and a half?
- Yeah, maybe a two and a half.
- Yeah, I mean,
cause I feel like as you get further in the cup
it's like meh - Yeah.
- Some of the burnt taste kinda goes away.
- And you may be able to adjust the amount
to kind of help with it,
but so yeah, two and a half donuts.
Well, as we found,
and as other people commented,
Starbucks coffees typically have a
burnt kind of over-done flavor.
- Over roasted.
- Over roasted.
- I just made that up.
- Yeah.
But if you feel the same way,
or you feel differently,
reply to us in a positive manner
on how you feel differently.
- Yeah.
- And thanks for joining us.
And until next time.
- Keep drinking.
