Surprisingly Good
For the purposes of calibration, we normally drink Starbucks Breakfast Blend. Yeah, yeah, I know. Haters gonna hate. But that's what we like. Full flavor with no bitterness.
For further calibration, we think that Starbucks House Blend is bitter, although it does have a bold flavor.
We've been looking for a less expensive alternative, however.
We tried McCafe Breakfast Blend and I really liked it (no bitterness, good flavor, although it could be more bold). My husband thought it wasn't flavorful enough, however.
This time we tried the McCafe Premium Roast and, as Goldilocks would say, "This one is just right."
It's half the price of Starbucks, has no bitterness, and the flavor is pleasing to both of us.
This morning, my husband said, "Yeah, I can drink this. This'll work." (For him, that's like doing a cartwheel.)
If your taste for coffee is similar to ours you'll be well pleased by the McCafe Premium Roast.
