Starbucks, SBK12421012, Veranda Blend Coffee, 1 Each

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pods have a really smooth, balanced flavor and a light texture that doesn’t feel heavy or overly strong. I like that it’s not bitter at all, which can be an issue with other brands. The Starbucks blonde roast is by far my favorite because it’s easy to drink and still has a nice coffee taste without being overpowering. I’d definitely recommend these if you prefer lighter roasts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Starbucks Veranda Blend and found it to be a very smooth, mellow coffee that’s easy to drink daily. As a lighter roast, it has subtle notes of toasted malt and soft chocolate, without the bitterness you sometimes get from darker blends. It’s not overly bold, but that’s what makes it great for mornings or for anyone who prefers a gentler, more approachable cup especially with a splash of cream. #ad
