Is Pike Place Roast a dark or light roast?

It is a medium roast. It sits between Starbucks light roasts and its dark roasts like French Roast or Sumatra.

Does it work in any Keurig machine?

Yes. The pods are standard K-Cups and fit Keurig brewers that take K-Cup pods, including most 1.0 and 2.0 models.

How does it compare with Starbucks House Blend?

Pike Place is smoother and milder, with less acidity. House Blend is a bit brighter and more robust.

Is it good black, or does it need milk?

It drinks well black, but its mild body also takes milk and sugar without losing its coffee flavor.

How should I store the pods?

Keep the box sealed and in a cool, dry place away from strong odors. Pods stay freshest for months, but flavor fades over time.

Our take on the Starbucks Pike Place Roast Coffee K-Cup Pods

Starbucks Pike Place Roast is a medium roast in single-serve K-Cup pods, brewed for Keurig machines. It is the chain's everyday house coffee: smooth, balanced and lightly nutty, with mild acidity and a cocoa finish. It suits people who want a familiar, crowd-pleasing cup without grinding beans or measuring scoops. Against darker Starbucks pods it is gentler and more forgiving; against grocery-brand medium roasts it tastes fuller and more consistent, though it costs more per cup.
