Starbucks Coffee, Pike Place Roast

Starbucks Pike Place Roast (12 oz, ground Arabica coffee) is positioned in the grocery coffee aisle, often shelved near other premium whole-bean and ground coffees, single-serve pods, and brewing accessories like filters and French presses. Shoppers will spot familiar green-and-black Starbucks branding and tasting notes calling out cocoa and praline — cues that link the bag to the café experience. This is the everyday, at-home brew for commuters, remote workers, and coffee lovers who want a consistent medium roast without specialty-shop prices. It fits morning rituals, quick weekday pick-ups, and relaxed weekend brunches where a smooth, well-rounded cup complements conversation and breakfast pastries. The label leans on ethical sourcing and quality messaging rather than health claims: phrases about supply-chain practices and “gourmet” beans create a premium, responsible halo; there is no child-focused branding or organic certification on standard Pike Place packaging unless specifically noted. Processing is simple and transparent — Arabica beans are roasted and ground to deliver ready-to-brew coffee. Sensory notes emphasize aroma over texture: a fragrant, cocoa-tinged nose, medium-bodied flavor with subtle praline sweetness, and a clean finish. Packaging is typically a 12 oz sealed bag with a one-way valve and foil lining to protect freshness, encouraging scooping into a drip machine, pour-over, French press, or single-serve brewer. The product story is warm and familiar: a retail portal to the café ritual that people replicate at home, bringing a bit of Seattle market heritage to the grocery cart and kitchen counter.
