Starbucks Tested: Blonde Roast vs. Arabica… Surprising Blend Perks! We recently indulged in the Starbucks Ground Coffee, Blonde Roast Coffee, Veranda Blend, 100% Arabica, 1 bag (28 oz), eager to explore its subtleties. Unlike darker roasts, the Blonde Roast strikes a delicate balance—bright yet smooth, with hints of honey and subtle toffee. Our preference leans toward Arabica’s refined flavor profile, but the Veranda Blend impresses by blending mildness with a pleasant, roasted warmth. The 100% Arabica promise delivers a clean cup, free of bitterness, making it an excellent choice for daily brewing. While we typically gravitate toward stronger notes, this blend offers a refreshing change—light yet robust enough to satisfy morning rituals. Our verdict? A well-crafted mix that proves versatility without compromising quality.
Surprising Benefits Compared: Bonavita vs Pour-Over… tested We’ve always loved pour-over coffee for its precision, but the Bonavita 8 Cup Drip Coffee Maker ($BV1901TS) surprised us with its balance of convenience and quality. Our morning ritual changed when we paired this SCA Certified machine with a double-wall thermal carafe—our coffee stays hot for hours without sacrificing flavor. The one-touch pour over feature saves us time, while the auto pause brewing ensures a warm cup even when we step away mid-pour. Unlike traditional drippers, ours is dishwasher safe, easing our Cleanup routine. We found ourselves preferring the consistent, rich extraction ours provides over the manual guesswork of pour-over. Best of all? Its sleek stainless steel design blends seamlessly into our kitchen, making ours a hidden gem in a world of hacks.
