This is a mellow and relaxed cup of coffee. (as a light roast, it has more caffeine than a darker roast.) This Starbucks Blonde Roast includes hints of soft cocoa and lightly toasted nuts. I dont like heavy strong coffee. So if you like a light bold coffee, this is the one for you!\nIf you like my review, kindly vote below so I amy improve other reviews in the future.

I included a photo to show that the product came exactly as described, 6 individual boxes of 10 k-cups. I did turn one of the boxes around to show the flavor (Carmel), and to show that I inspected each box. I also want to add that the expiration date on each box is Jan 2022. I have read a lot of comments where the cups were just thrown in a box or the expiration date had past months before receiving the product and even the product not being official SB ... all I have to say is, and I cannot stress this enough, even though I paid a couple extra $$, ALWAYS buy “sold and ships from Amazon”!!! Sometimes trying to save a few bucks costs you in the end.\nI love this flavor, hence the purchase of 60 k-cups at one time lol, and I just thought I needed to share my personal experience with everyone.\nOh, and I also received my delivery EARLY!!! It was “scheduled” to be delivered by Sunday, 06/27/21 and I received it today - Thursday, 06/24/21!!! I am VERY pleased with SB and Amazon!!! Thank you!!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I really liked this. Was a little worried about ordering it after reading the bad review at the top- but glad I decided to try it anyway. Just so you can calibrate my tastes- I also like Tiramisu and Vanilla Starbucks K-cups. I run Nespresso too, and I tend to like the vanilla biscuit and the Voltesso espresso (but I also like some of the Nespresso single origin coffees.) I tend to drink my flavored coffee with a tbs of sugar and a splash of soy or oat milk- though I put some gourmet maple syrup in with this Maple Peach flavor and it was AMAZING! I did try it without maple syrup- and made some notes- it\'s smooth coffee without much bitterness (and I hate bitterness), the maple flavor is subtle- not sure you\'d even taste it if you didn\'t put sugar in your coffee- but the smell is lovely, The pecan is sort of a round "note" at the end of the taste. You can ramp up the pecan tremendously by using maple syrup to sweeten- I\'ve done this with regular coffee (with varying results) but because this coffee is primed to be maple flavored, it\'s AMAZING with syrup- and you can titrate it to your perfect level of maple sweetness. I think I might try tossing a few pecans into the bottom of the coffee cup and see if they boost the pecan flavor. I love the combo of coffee and maple and pecan. Maple has occurred to me- and I\'ve tried to make my own maple coffee- but I had not thought of pecans. Might also get some pecan syrup and try that. At any rate,this isn\'t a big investment, so give it a try. You can always give boxes away as gifts to people you don\'t like if you really hate it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "Quality has changed from a month ago when I last received same item from same seller. This shipment, the coffee itself tastes really weak or poor quality, almost like something generic or counterfeit?? What was before a nice cinnamon flavor now is a weak, soapy taste. This was immediately noticeable with the very 1st pod. My first cup, from last delivery, delicious as always...made a 2nd cup, and had to go back to kitchen to see if I had used something else by mistake. I did a blind taste test, with husband's help, and no question...it was still gross\n\nI did notice that the newer boxes have a red stripe and end panel, but all wording remains the same. Also the top of the pod itself is different, with a metallic gold look to it. Whatever the deal is, life's too short to drink bad coffee. Sent it back"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "No cream, sugar, pumpkin spice, old spice or other complicated adjuncts so I'm a stickler on the naked brew. Starbucks House Blend is a medium blend pod that's bold on the palate but smoothly rounded without any heavy toast edges like you find in darker blends. Everything else I compare to this.\n\nThe prices I find here are competitive with sale prices that I find locally, however this particular blend flies off the shelf when on sale in stores that I go to."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'best coffee starbucks ever made!! however, all of these cups came in just a plain cardboard box- so i’m assuming they are leftovers from returns to the amazon facility??? there was no starbucks packaging- didn’t care, they were cheap and it’s my favorite coffee....just not what i was expecting.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "In an earlier review for this flavored coffee, I slammed Starbucks. That coffee (Creme Brule'e or at least called that) was awful. While it did smell like Creme Brulee giving the home a pleasant aroma throughout, it gave the pallet anything but that.\nTHIS Creme Brulee coffee is what Starbucks should have made in the first place! The flavor is real! It passed both the nose and the pallet tests. Sure, it costs more and this time I don't mind the cost. At last I can drink this flavored coffee without the Creme Brulee flavored creamer whereas in the earlier blend, it was a must! I noticed that when I did put the Creme Brulee creamer in this particular blend I didn't have to put much in to enhance the flavor but truthfully, since I normally drink coffee black to begin with, I'm liking this new and exciting blend much better without it. Sounds like a commercial, huh? Sorry.\nPut the Star back in 'Star'bucks on this one! What an improvement!!!"}]
