I’ve finally decided to try Starbucks. I’ve looked at the menu on Doordash. All I’m seeing is speciality items like latte, espresso etc. I don’t see a good breakfast blend coffee. Amazon sells a Starbucks breakfast blend Keurig cup. I don’t see it offered in the restaurant. The closest I see on the menu is the Pike Place. I may order the Cafe Misto. It doesn’t say if its a medium roast. > [@](#): > > A one-to-one combination of fresh-brewed coffee and steamed milk add up to one distinctly delicious coffee drink remarkably mixed. Can you get a regular cup of coffee at Starbucks? I may just order McDonald’s coffee. It’s usually fresh throughout the day. > [@](#): > > From our first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market to our coffeehouses around the world, customers requested a freshly brewed coffee they could enjoy throughout the day. In 2008 our master blenders and roasters created this for you—a smooth, well-rounded blend of Latin American coffees with subtly rich flavors of chocolate and toasted nuts, it’s served fresh every day at a Starbucks® store near you. ---

I don’t know if you’d consider it a breakfast blend but they do seem to offer a lighter roast in these ‘brewed coffees’: ……Brewed Coffees Veranda Blend® In Latin America, coffee farms are often run by families, with their own homes on the same​ land where their coffee grows. We’ve sipped coffee with these farmers for decades,​ sitting on their verandas, overlooking the lush beauty of the coffee trees rolling out in the​ distance. Most times it was a lightly roasted coffee like this one. It took us more than 80​ tries to get it right-mellow and flavorful with a nice softness.​… And just getting McDs coffee isn’t a bad choice. That is what I did before I retired when I was out and about and wanted (needed!) coffee). Certainly cheaper, they also give a senior discount on coffee, just ask for it. McDs coffee was always fresh because they sell so much of it. I found it reliably fresh and fast, as well as economical. ---

Veranda Blend sounds pretty good. I used to drink dark roasted coffee. I even liked Chicory coffee from Louisiana. Never liked expresso. Way too strong. My stomach can’t handle it anymore. Too much acid. I always drank my coffee black. Now I add creamer to avoid heartburn. Ordering now with a splash of half and half creamer. I’m curious to give Veranda Blend a try. ---

Drinking my Veranda Blend. It’s pretty good. Not as strong as McD’s. That’s a good thing late in the afternoon. Next time I’ll try the medium roast Pike Place. Starbucks is pricey. But its a nice change. ---

Meh. The regular coffee is the same price as Dunkin’. McD’s is cheaper, though, by a buck for the large (~$2 vs ~$3) ---

Tried Pike Place today. The medium roast is very good. I think it tastes similar to Dunkin Donuts coffee. I buy it at the grocery and make at home. I won’t stop at Starbucks regularly. I have friends that like it. Now I can meet them for coffee and know what to order. I didn’t want to be _the guy_ wasting time at the counter, staring at the menu. I agree its pricey. But it is a nice place to meet friends.
