Seattle's Best Breakfast Blend - Review

Breakfast Blend by Seattle's Best

I prepared this coffee as an Americano, and did my first taste test on the unsweetened brew. This coffee is a Level 4 coffee in their new coffee rating system - dark roast, but one step below their darkest roast which is Level 5. In additon to the standard Breakfast Blend, they also offer an Organic Breakfast Blend that is Certified Organic. This blend comes from organic plantations in Costa Rica, Sumatra, Guatemala and Peru.

The first taste of Seattle's Best Breakfast Blendhas a pleasant bitterness that hits the tip of the tongue and works its way to the middle. This is a very good coffee for serving with breakfast or any meal. There is a certain earthy quality to this blend along with a very pleasant mouth feel. The flavor doesn't linger very long and clears out of the mouth within about three or 4 seconds. The folks at Seattle's best have done a very good job of coming up with a coffee that has universal appeal.

After sweetening the taste is very pleasant with no noticeable bitterness to speak of. There is a slight sweetness in the flavor that is very similar to that of peaches. This would be a great coffee to sip in the afternoon or evening while sitting on the porch watching the sunset. It is obvious why Seattle's best has kept this particular coffee in their lineup for a number of years. It is a very pleasant coffee that is ideal for breakfast. This is one dark roast coffee that you should not miss out on. The reason that this particular coffee is a dark roasted blend and not a single origin is pretty obvious - there are flavors that are being created that can only be made by combining coffee beans with different qualities.

On a 1 to 10 scale I would easily rate this coffee at a very solid 9.3 points. It isn't the very best coffee on the shelf but it is among the top choices I would make.

I hope you have found this review helpful. Thanks for stopping by and as always, may your next cup be your best!
