Press Release: Kirkland’s Pacific Bold Coffee Pods Stir Enthusiasm Among Dark Roast Lovers
Costco’s Kirkland Signature Pacific Bold coffee pods are generating significant buzz, particularly among dark roast enthusiasts, despite previous criticisms of the brand’s whole bean offerings. While Tasting Table’s testers found Kirkland’s Signature French Roast to be lackluster, customer reviews on Reddit tell a different story regarding the Pacific Bold pods, which many users laud as their go-to choice.
In discussions on Reddit, one dark roast fan described Pacific Bold as the best K-cup available, noting a preference over well-known brands like Starbucks, with another stating, "Been buying the Pacific Bold for as long as I can remember." This sentiment reflects a growing consensus among users that these coffee pods provide a robust flavor profile at a competitive price.
Retailing at approximately $42 for a pack of 120 pods, Kirkland’s Pacific Bold offers consumers not only an economical alternative to Starbucks’ Pike Place roast but also high quality—Starbucks charges $37.99 for a pack of 72 pods. Comparably, Peet’s options are even pricier at $45.99 for a pack of 75.
Experts suggest the difference in perception may stem from the manufacturing process. While Kirkland’s whole beans may suffer from over-roasting, the K-cups benefit from a different roasting technique. Notably, the company behind these capsules doesn’t over-roast its beans, ensuring a richer, fuller flavor that resonates with dedicated dark coffee drinkers.
With positive feedback pouring in, it appears Costco has found a winning product in its Pacific Bold coffee pods, positioning them as a staple for dark roast lovers seeking quality and value.
