Is House Blend a dark roast?

No. It is a medium roast, lighter than Pike Place and Sumatra but darker than Breakfast Blend. Expect toffee and cocoa with mild acidity.

Does it work in any Keurig machine?

Yes. These are standard K-Cup pods and brew in Keurig and Keurig-compatible brewers. They are not for Nespresso or drip machines.

How does it compare with Pike Place Roast?

House Blend is lighter and a bit sweeter; Pike Place is a smoother medium-dark with more body. Choose House Blend for a gentler morning cup.

Can I make iced coffee with it?

Yes. Brew it over ice or chill it, as Starbucks suggests. The medium roast holds up without turning bitter.

Is it the same coffee sold in Starbucks cafés?

It is the same House Blend recipe, made under license by Nestlé. Pod brewing gives a slightly different result than an espresso machine or pour-over.

How many pods come in a box?

This listing is a 22-count box of 8.9 oz total. Larger counts are sold separately if you brew often.

Our take on the Starbucks House Blend K-Cup Coffee Pods

Starbucks House Blend is the company's original medium roast, a Latin American blend with toffee, cocoa and a light sweetness from the roast. These are genuine Starbucks K-Cup pods made under license by Nestlé, so they brew in any Keurig machine. It is a safe, crowd-pleasing everyday cup rather than a bold or fruity one, and it sits between the lighter Breakfast Blend and the darker Pike Place and Sumatra on Starbucks' roast scale. Reviewers rate it highly for consistency and convenience, though some find it milder than the bagged version and note the plastic pod waste.
