Starbucks is discontinuing a popular blend — and customers are steamed

 

Starbucks’ Breakfast Blend has been available since 1998 in bags and brews at Starbucks outlets. But the chain plans to discontinue the flavor in the first part of June 2018, a representative said. Starbucks

Plenty of characters — i.e. customers — have fretted for months that their favorite brew was about to be history.

“This has been my coffee of choice for my business for years. I buy 2 bags a week, and grind it on Turkish. It is not acidic, bitter, or too strong, and I do not know what I’ll do instead! It’s the only blend from Starbucks that I like. I’ll be looking elsewhere, but am very upset about this,” read one post attributed to “Shelly” on the website.

“Mom in charge” took a swipe at competitor Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee on her post, but may soon have to go over to the other side.

“I too have heard this is being discontinued. … Huge mistake. This is the one blend my husband agrees to and I was able to switch him from that DD stuff because of it. Hoping I can find another he likes, or I may be forced to be brewing that other stuff in the morning.”

“I do not like Pikes or the House blend. Please tell me this is not true??” pleaded “MikeCA22.”

Sorry, Mike. It’s true.
