Overview
Starbucks Pike Place Roast is a 28 ounce bag of medium roast ground coffee, a blend of Latin American beans named after the chain's original Seattle store. It works hot or iced and suits drip, French press or pour-over brewing at home.
Per the listing, this coffee is produced by Nestle under license from Starbucks trademarks rather than roasted by Starbucks directly, worth knowing if brand sourcing matters to you. The large 28 ounce bag positions it as a bulk buy for people who go through coffee quickly rather than a small trial size.

Who it's for
Daily drip or French press drinkers who like Starbucks' cafe-style medium roast at home and want a bag sized for regular use. Less suited to people who want single-origin coffee, since Pike Place is a blend.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly call the flavor rich, smooth and reliably good, with several preferring it over small-batch alternatives for everyday drinking. One reviewer needed to increase their usual grounds measure by about 25 to 50 percent to get the fullest flavor in a French press, and another praised the aroma and consistency across multiple purchases.

Performance notes
