Starbucks K Cup French Roast

I quickly mentioned to you all this week about Starbuck's entry into the K Cup environment. Today I went to my local Starbuck's store to buy some of these coffees. Lo and behold not to be found but was sent to my local Safeway. Coincidentally there is a Starbuck's kiosk inside. The barrista had no idea what I was talking about so I took upon myself to go to the coffee section of the store. There right in front of me were boxes of Starbuck's K Cup coffees. That was the good news. Pricey, Pricey, Pricey. They sell a ten (10) pack box for $8.99 which I believe comes to $.89 per cup which is more expensive than any K Cup that I have purchased. However, I did this for you all. I bought one box of the French Roast and good news! -- It is a full bodied, rich, bold coffee similar in taste to their French Roast bean drip coffee. In fact, maybe even bolder. I am enjoying a cup currently as I write this edition of my blog. Go out try one brand and see what you think. I believe prices should drop somewhat as their distribution chain increases. I am told they will be available in Starbuck's stores sometime in the first quarter of 2012.

Anyway enjoy your coffee and all the best to you all.
