While I am firmly in the Starbucks Blonde Coffee camp, I took a chance on this bag of new Starbucks Mocha Coffee. TARGET was having a “Buy Four Bags of Starbucks Coffee, Get a $10 Starbucks Gift Card” Sale. So I bought three bags of Starbucks Blonde Coffee (Veranda and Willow) and a bag of Starbucks Mocha Coffee. After using up the bag of Mocha, I’d say I’d buy it again. The Mocha taste is prominent (like a hazelnut coffee) and the underlying coffee taste is bold. I’ll drink this Starbucks Mocha as a change from the Blonde coffees, but it will be just an occasional switch. Give this new Starbucks Mocha a try, you might enjoy it.
I generally go for the Blonde too. We don’t drink flavored coffees for the most part. Of course it the mocha taste is too strong you could try to use half blonde and half mocha. I often get half Veranda/half Pike.
Of course this time of year we’ve been getting mostly the iced coffee. At home Jackie gets Community Coffee shipped from New Orleans.
I don’t drink coffee much and Phil likes instant. Don’t know why.
Patti, I drink about 10 cops of coffee a day, mostly in the morning. That gets me through the day.
Jeff, sometimes I prefer bold coffee just for the change of pace. I’m a big fan of iced coffee, too!
We drink Starbucks too, but we drink it black and strong, so we buy very bold coffee, usually Gold Coast. I don’t care much for flavored coffee. This time of year when it’s hot I drink a cup of coffee in the morning but switch to iced tea the rest of the day or evening.
I’ve found blonde coffees so weak I figure why bother? George, 10 cups a day sounds like too much!
Rick, you might enjoy Starbucks Mocha. It’s bold with a hint of chocolate. I’ve been drinking 10 cups of coffee a day for decades. I think my body has adjusted over time. I do drink tea at night, usually in the winter.
The only thing more loathesome than coffee is iced coffee. I’m not the target audience for this post, obviously.
Bob, both coffee and tea (iced or regular) are supposed to have health benefits.
I can handle tea, but rarely have any.
Bob, I actually prefer tea in the winter. Nothing warms things up after shoveling snow than a nice hot cup of tea. In the summer, it’s ice tea.
