Post Alley Blend

This is a smoky and intense French roast with a wonderfully smooth side. Best enjoyed by pausing for a moment to allow the aromas to stir your senses before taking the first sip.

How we roast

Here’s how we make our uniquely smooth blends: we start with better beans. Our beans are 100% Arabica and sourced exclusively from Latin America. Once we’ve sourced the beans, our master blenders create better blends for an easy, approachable taste. We ensure total consistency by insisting on rigorous quality checks throughout the process. We don’t just taste the stuff once or even twice. We stop and sample the beans at three crucial steps. From there, we use our special roasting expertise to create a surprisingly smooth taste. All that passion and hard work create an exceptionally smooth cup of coffee that’s flavorful and approachable.

Description	This blend of Latin American beans is complex and robust in flavor with a well-rounded finish. A strong, perk-you-up cup of coffee that, ironically, is named after a sleepy cat that used to curl up next to our roaster, soaking up the warmth and aromas.	From the first sip, you know this one is special. A bold and roasty blend of premium beans that brews a perfectly balanced cup of coffee. Made especially for people who appreciate something that’s smooth, strong, and a great start to their day.	This is a smoky and intense French roast with a wonderfully smooth side.

How do I store ground coffee?

An opened bag of coffee is highly perishable, just like fresh produce. Store your ground coffee in an airtight container at room temperature for no longer than a week. The trick is to keep it away from oxygen, light, heat, and moisture as much as possible.

How much ground coffee should I use per cup?

The recipe for great coffee is 1 tbsp (5 g) of ground coffee for every 6 fl. oz. (180 mL) of water.

Does my favorite Seattle's Best Coffee have a new look or name?

Yes, we are updating all of our packaging, so, for a limited time, you may receive either the old or new packaging. Some of our coffees are also changing names, but the taste is still as bold and flavorful as SBC has always been.

Signature Blend #3 is now Portside Blend.

Signature Blend #4 is now 6th Avenue Bistro.

Signature Blend #5 is now Post Alley Blend.

Product Description

Our House Blend is an inviting, easy-going drink perfect for any day that ends in “y”. This medium roast is just right for reading, relaxing, and generally sipping your way to a better day.

Smooth rich flavor in a medium blend

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021

Flavor Name: House BlendSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I'm not a dark Roast or espresso fan, so if you like those, skip this. I was a Dunkin Donuts, New England breakfast, Green Mountain Breakfast fan etc. I've tried Lavazza, Starbucks Blonde roasts,Tim Horton, and other supermarket blends but this one stands out for two reasons. One, it's priced right. Some coffee goes over the $10.00 threshold (too expensive for me). Two, it is flavorful and smooth without the bitterness of a medium roast. I could not get it locally so I subscribed on Amazon. If you enjoy a medium roast that's not bland and is priced right, this is for you. PS: I did not care for their other blends, too strong.

Wonderful rich taste

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2023

Flavor Name: House BlendSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This just looks different when you look at the silky ground coffee inside the bag. It almost looks like cocoa; then the smell hits your nose and reminds me this is coffee.
It's bold, rich taste has notes of fine red wine and cocoa.
I had this at the Hospital, Yes this is what they serve in their café which is why I ordered it.
Truly the little things matter, don't drink "basic" coffee when this is so delicious.

Flavor Too Weak

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2020

Flavor Name: HazelnutSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I thought this coffee lacks flavor, even for a medium roast, both the coffee and the hazelnut. The price is great for coffee, but I'll pass on buying this one again. If you're into mild coffees and low acidity, then you'll probably find this coffee to be pleasant. Compared to something like Folgers or Dunkin' Donuts, it has less flavor than their medium roasts. It's not the best hazelnut flavor I've had either but it's still fairly enjoyable for the hazelnut. The best thing going for this coffee is that you get 12oz for $4.23. So I think of it more of a 3 star coffee but I'll give it a 4 star because it's a cheap medium roast.

My favorite

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2020

Flavor Name: HazelnutSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Let me start by saying I'm not a massive coffee drinker. I do like a cup a day. I do however love hazelnut coffee and I've tried a bunch of them. It seems the big name brands we all know and have loved have gotten stronger and more bitter in flavor over the years. You know the popular drive thru coffee places. I just find myself going towards a much smoother cup of coffee. This coffee is just so good. Some hazelnut can taste synthetic or off not this one. It's a good nutty flavor. It's just so smooth it's like it works with my body chemistry. I know that sounds odd but it's like anything very good it just goes down easy. Absolutely nothing abrasive about this coffee and that's why it's my favorite.

Dry & thin coffee grounds!

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2020

Flavor Name: House BlendSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Well I wasn't as happy with this coffee as I had hoped to be, it had a very harsh taste to it, & the grounds are super then, I use my coffee grounds with K-cups & when I used this coffee in them the grounds actually were so then they slipped through & ended up in the coffee cup, I like to try a variety of ground coffee since going to coffee shops aren't as easy to do now, & this was one I had heard of but never tried & to be honest I wasn't to happy with it & won't try again, it was in one of those sealed freshness bags but it wasn't very fresh in fact it was pretty dry, the only thing good on this purchase was the shipping that I was pleased with it arrived very fast!

This is very good hazelnut coffee. The aroma while brewing is wonderful also. I used to enjoy Godiva Cafe Hazelnut coffee in the gold package but it is increasingly difficult to find. This is a good substitute and it is a lot cheaper. I wish Seattle’s Best still made the cinnamon/hazelnut coffee I used to buy several years ago.

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2020

Flavor Name: House BlendSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I tried this after reading article on best cheap coffee. The House Blend is good, not bitter, but still has good flavor, maybe slightly better than 8 o'clock original, though 8 o'clock can vary in quality bag to bag.

Came to write review and of course price had risen. Its the downside of Amazon. Prices can fluctuate month to month. Guessing all coffee is going up in price.

See if 8 o'clock has went up next time shopping. If not maybe go with it as only coffee. Not enough difference in taste to pay significantly more for either.

A SUB-BRAND OF STARBUCKS. Best aroma flavour so far

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 26, 2022

Flavor Name: HazelnutSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

There are lots of flavours and flavoured ground coffee.
[This is not to be confused with the awful syrups in Starbucks].

The Toasted Hazelnut is a lovely mello aroma and flavour.

Work colleagues thought they could smell maple & pecan pastries.

This is good pure stuff and no added or artificial sugars or flavours.
The only downside is a poor & sporadic supply chain.
A Facebook‘presence’ which goes unanswered.

Here in the UK they put takeaway coffee machines in Asda & Co-op.
And so this is ancillary business.
Shame as it is the best product of you get to love that smell/taste.
# Top Tip
Microwave/ super heat treat strong milky version for picnics & walks.
Even better outdoors

Good taste

Flavor Name: HazelnutSize: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Coffee has a strong roasted taste with notes of caramel , hazelnut and chocolate.

This is was also very apparent when opening the bag

I like the fact that it has a one way valve to minimise oxidation

I first tried this coffee a couple of months ago and I must say I am hooked to the flavour. The aroma is just right and isn't too overpowering, with the hazelnut flavour expressing itself with every sip.
