Mmmm... New Coffee at Starbucks! I'm a fan of the Pike Place Roast!


My barrista explained to me on Tuesday morning that Starbucks is trying to "get back to its roots" by standardizing its coffee across all stores and regions. In honor of the first Starbucks, in Pike Place (Seattle), she explained, this coffee will now be served in all stores. She said it is a "medium bold," and much smoother than the previous blend.
Though I couldn't explain the difference between a "medium bold" and a "very timid" coffee, I agree- it is smooth. If the old coffee tasted, to me, "sharp," then this would be round.
I'm already a fan :)
