House blend is a very nice all-around coffee, but with single pack retailing at around $8, and routinely found on sale at as low as $7, this offering seems to be overpriced by 20-30%.

I love the Starbucks house blend. It's a nice medium bodies coffee to wake up to.

Starbucks coffee was from last year (the best if used by MONTH on each package is from
the previous year) drinkable - but not good coffee

I've been drinking ground House Blend Starbucks for years, but this version for some reason isn't as strong as even what I buy at the grocery store. I've been using double the amount I usually use to get it to taste right.

The house blend has a well-balanced taste that goes well with the frothed milk in the cappuccino and makes quite enjoyable espressos too. This is actually pretty competitive in price with the 32-ounce bags that you can find at some of the big discount stores and it has the advantage that, having 3 bags, the coffee can be kept fresher. The combined 36 ounces should be enough for some 30+ Venti equivalent, only stronger.

Briefly:

- one month or so of daily cappuccinos or double-espressos or daily Venti-size coffees
- coffee stays fresher as when compared to the big discount stores 32-ounce bags because it comes in THREE sealed bags
- the house blend happens to be my favorite
- price is only slightly higher than what you can get in a discount store but the 3-bag packaging makes up for it

As of June 30, 2009, it was not available as a subscription item. I would subscribe without hesitation if it was.
