I don't know how many people get any of the Starbucks ground coffee. I normally don't but I do look forward to the Holiday blend every year. It is a little different every year but I have in the past always liked it. Not this year. I had my first cup this morning and I didn't care for it. I will finish it but only because I don't like to waste money. This coffee is a much darker then the medium roast that it is supposed to be. It has the bitter aftertaste that is common with a poor dark roast and none of the subtle sweetness without being cloying that the Holiday blend usually has.
I just wanted to warn anyone that is like me about the Holiday blend, it is completely different from what is usually sold as the Holiday blend.
