Under Review This Week 1

We’re very happy to point out that two of your most popular ideas have been put “Under Review” this week. Here they are:

DARK ROAST, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! Bold coffee lovers, we hear you. In just three short weeks, your idea has rocketed to the number two spot (remember that popularity is based on a combination of votes and time on the site—less time with more votes equals more popularity). Dkrst, your efforts to lobby the group have paid off.

A Penny to Fight PKD This was one of the first ideas on the site to get real traffic and in more than six weeks, it’s held its place in the top five. So thanks to Sandra Andersen’s amazing generosity, a score of 26,860 and your 599 comments, it made it into review.

It is nearly September and I am faced with Pike Place every afternoon and evening. How long must you folks review this before you realize how you are putting Starbucks out of business. Maybe because someone ordered too much Pike Place coffee beans, invested too much in the roasting factories, etc..  The partners where I shop are always willing to press what I want but they are always so busy I hate to take away from their caring for other customers. Lets do it now!!!

So, when can we expect dark roast options in the afternoon again?

This has been under review for a long time.  What is the hold up?  A quick review shows it still has many voters under new threads with the same theme.  Can't you see that Pike's Place is Starbuck's New Coke!!!! Your stock and sales have plummeted and you don't see the relationship?

I really hope Starbucks reverts to the Dark Roast all day. At some Stores in my area they don't even offer dark roast in the mornings so I'm forced to pay more for an Americano. Pike's Place is so nasty tasting  & upsets my stomach. I've had to resort to going else where in the afternoons & evenings for my Dark Roast fix. Too bad for Starbucks that they nixed the good coffee

I think that they should let all Starbucks at least test out the idea of having Bold, all day.  I'm a Barista, and at my Sbux, Bold dies down literally before Noon.  So instead of all Sbux waisting Bold, we should do a trial run.

I got hooked on Starbucks with Verona.  I was going in twice a day.  Please bring it and other bolder flavors back.  Pike's Place has me trying to brew at home and not coming to Starbucks daily.

I'm not really a big fan of waiting in a lengthy morning line  and paying $2.68 every day for an americano because  pikes is boring and sumatra  sucks.  I too much prefer verona and believe a blue mountain blend pairing would blow the doors off most other coffee houses in town.

I have to SPLASH  instead of pour creamer in my pike place just so  I can taste the coffee!
