[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this coffee, believe it or not I don't drink a lot of coffee, but this house blend had me at first smell. I couldn't stop smelling the aroma and freshness of the product, and now I'm a lifelong fan. This blend is absolutely and deliciously perfect. I highly recommend it. Try it I know you will love and enjoy it too.

Did Starbucks change their House Blend beans and/or suppliers? This has been my go to coffee for almost 20 years and now I can barely drink it since it is so bad. Instead of being “Rich and Lively”, which it is not anymore. It is now has “Cocoa and Toffee”and no rich taste. I can taste that you have made changes but not for the good. It reminds me Pike Peak which I refuse to drink. I will be returning the second bag of the “new” House Blend and will be looking for something else.

This is my go-to coffee. I've tried this blend in every conceivable format, VIA (Instant) K-Cup, French Press, Coffee Maker. It doesn't matter. House Blend is Perfect EVERY SINGLE TIME! My Tried & True Tip: If you use Cream/Milk & Sugar/Sweetner, try this trick. Spoon your desired amount of sugar First into your cup. followed by Cream over the sugar. Last, pour your coffee over and stir. My husband used to make fun of me, until his College Chemistry Professor explained that just the simple reversal of heat into cold rather than cold into heat changes the molecular reaction, thus changing the taste.

I love this House Blend. I take it black, no sugar and no milk. It's a perfect taste to wake me up in the morning. It's well balanced with a tang that doesn't overwhelm the senses. It's just enough to give me a kick in the but. I see myself drinking this very often and ordering more when I run out.
