- Is Holiday Blend a dark roast?
- No. It is a medium roast. It blends Latin American beans with aged Sumatra, which gives it a spiced, herbal, maple-sweet taste rather than a heavy dark-roast bite.
- How does it compare with Starbucks House Blend?
- Holiday Blend is sweeter and more spiced, with an herbal edge from the aged Sumatra. House Blend is a simpler, nutty medium roast with less seasonal character.
- Do these pods work in any Keurig brewer?
- They are standard K-Cup pods and fit Keurig brewers that accept K-Cups. They will not work in Nespresso or other pod systems.
- Is it the same as the bagged Holiday Blend?
- It uses the same blend, but some drinkers find the pod version tastes lighter than coffee brewed from the bag. Grind and pod dose differ, so expect a milder cup.
- Is it kosher?
- Yes, the pods are marked kosher.
- How should I store the pods?
- Keep them in a cool, dry place in the sealed box. Pods stay fresher sealed, so avoid leaving them loose in a humid spot.
- Where is the Starbucks Holiday Blend Coffee Keurig Pods cheapest?
- At Staples, for $29.99, as of our latest check.
