Never once that I was disappointed with Seattle's Best Coffee. I live just a couple blocks from all stores in downtown. So, it's easy to walk down there to get it. But when I'm ou...

Disagree! In a city that offers the highest quality venues in america consider Vivace, Cafe Vita, Bauhaus, and Cafe Ladro as better alternatives. These shops offer a quality and e...

getting over the bitterness . . . 10/23/2002

I have been drinking SBC blends for eight years now. I started back in college solely for the great affect cafein had on late night study vigils. My first few cups came from competitors, and honestly I didn't even enjoy the flavor until I found a company that actually carried SBC. I knew I had found something great the moment the black ambrosia hit my tongue. Unlike other coffees, the flavor was bold, the body full, and the finish was sweet. Thanks SBC! Pros: Friendly, Quality, Fun Cons: little parking, long lines, need more locations more

mmm...javalicious! 10/23/2002

I love Seattle's Best Coffee! The baristas' are friendly, the coffee is so much better tasting, and the cafes have less of a ""cookie cutter"" atmosphere to them, they all look different! I am also happy that their sister company, Torrefazione Italia ranked a close number 5!!! I had never heard of them until recently, and I know that they'll be #1 & #2 in 2003!!! Go SBC! more

Seattle WORST 10/21/2002

Seattle's Best should be renamed Seattle's WORST!!!! They have the most awful, bitter coffee I have ever tasted. I do not know one serious coffee drinker that likes SB, therefore this must be rigged! more

Best coffee. PERIOD. 10/21/2002

Never bitter, unlike other reknowned brand name coffee houses. I can count on it to taste right every time, no matter who's doing the brewing --- me or the staff! more

Not Quite 10/14/2002

Good, not best. Major blend coffee seems quite acid and requires sugar to make it more palatable more

SWC: Seattle Worst Coffee 10/14/2002

I am very dissapointed in SBC. I find that the baristas are not very knowledgable about the products that they serve! Not to mention that most SBC employees that I have encountered could care less if I, the customer, am satisfied or not. I travel almost continously for work and have come to the conclusion that I, for one, would rather get a cup of java at starbucks. Consistent customer service and knowlegeable employees get my vote. more

Seattle's Real Best Coffee 10/14/2002

Seattle's best coffee is not Seattle's Best Coffee. It is following suit with Starbuck's and Tully's. Get some real Seattle's best coffee, by avoiding the three major coffee chains... Pros: Everywhere Cons: Expensive, Lacking personality more

I am sorry, but Seattle's Best Coffee, is not our best, it isn't even good. Starbucks is far better, and deserves recognition for being so. more

The best in the latte biz 10/14/2002

I starting drinking Seattle's Best Coffee about two years ago. The closest store is about four hours north of where I live. I look forward to getting to go to Portland to have a wonderful, satisfying cup of joe. Love it and give it two thumbs up. Pros: delicious Cons: Inconvienent, expensive more

Not the ""Best"" 10/14/2002

Seattle's Best Coffee really isn't the best. It was actually my first espresso experience about 10 years ago. I don't really care for it now.... Pros: Mocha Almond Joy Cons: Bitter Coffee more

Seattles Best Coffee not Seattle's Best 10/14/2002

While they hope the name might indicate their quality, Seattle's best coffee is not found within the walls of the stores initialed SBC. The lack of quality control and training means you get a different quality cup of coffee whichever store you go. The espresso, while being roasted too lightly, is ground too finely or pulled too long, resulting in a green, bitter tasting shot at the bottom of your cup. It is unfortunate that they took a moniker deserved by another company and made that their name. The result is a company that stays in business because their name indicates something they cannot sell. more

Not the Best at all! 10/14/2002

Seattle's Best is a name that baffles me. The coffee is so-so, and much like drinking Folgers to me. Their decaf is terrible tasting; it is so obviously decaf compared to their regular blends. Honestly, I like Starbucks decaf; but in lieu of brewed, I feel starbucks is best ordered as an Americano (i.e. double grande is just about perfect). Their brewed coffee is way too strong in most cases; the flavor, however, is #1. Thanks for allowing me to voice my preferences! more
