Starbucks To Bring Back "Burnt" Coffee Due To Customer Demand

Only a few months after replacing their “bolder” (some would say “burnt”) varieties of brewed coffee with the more “mild” (some would say “dunkin donuts-esque”) Pike Place Roast, Starbucks has announced that due to popular demand, they’ll be brewing some of the old stuff too.

The Wall Street Journal tells us:

“Because of your many requests for a bolder coffee choice throughout the day at Starbucks, we are bringing it back in the afternoon to many of those stores that sell lots of freshly brewed coffee all day long,” Starbucks said in a message posted on its customer feedback Web site Tuesday. The company said it will brew a bolder variety for customers when they ask for it. “This will sometimes mean a small wait, but it will also give you the absolute freshest cup of coffee possible,” the company said on the site.
