“Seattle’s Best Coffee, part of Starbucks Corporation, today announced a radically simplified packaged coffee line designed to change the conventions of the coffee category. The Seattle’s Best Coffee “Level” System delivers great tasting, premium coffee with an expanded blend offering in conjunction with an innovative and bold new packaging concept. The Level System’s unique array of numbers and vivid colors tell consumers exactly what they want to know: which type of coffee fits their taste profile. Seattle’s Best Coffee is the first brand in the coffee category to offer this unique approach, which will begin hitting grocery and retail store shelves in December 2010.
With the new Level System, consumers will be able to easily find and choose from a selection of Seattle’s Best Coffee blends that span the entire range of coffee enjoyment, from a mild, light, crisp Level 1 to a bold, dark and intense Level 5. Each Level represents a finely tuned recipe crafted from decades of roasting experience, blended from beans carefully chosen for their nuances and characteristics, and carrying the hallmark taste of Seattle’s Best Coffee: velvety, round and smooth.
In addition to Levels 1 through 5, consumers can choose from a decaffeinated blend, an Organic Fair Trade CertifiedTM blend and flavored coffees Cinnamon (“C”) and Hazelnut (“H”). The new Level System lineup is currently replacing the existing Seattle’s Best Coffee products on shelves.
‘Ultimately, people select coffee based on taste and that can be hard to determine in today’s coffee aisle,’ said Andrew Linnemann, director, Green Coffee Quality, Starbucks Corporation. ‘Seattle’s Best Coffee is known for its smooth taste profile. Each Level has been sourced, blended and roasted with care and precision to meet consumers’ desire to simply enjoy a great tasting cup of coffee.’ ”

I love your coffee. I have tried them all.
I need to use less to make a good cup of coffee and it’s not bitter.
I do not like the new packaging at all. I didn’t even know it was Seattles Best at first. It’s confusing. I liked the 6th Ave Bistro best.
It looks cheap and tacky in my opinion. Don’t think it will catch on, but time will tell.

I have been drinking SBC since it was Smith Bros.over on Vashon Island. Now which of these packages should I buy when I want Henry’s Blend? Please go back to the red packaging.I actually bought some Charbucks because I couldn’t find my own favorite.

This whole concept is ridiculous. I have searched Wal-Mart and other stores for the past two months, assuming that they had typically dropped another favorite brand after so many years. Finally the other day I encountered an inventory person in that department and asked, was directed to the new packaging. However, being old, I could not read the tiny print showing the old flavor names even with my best glasses. Really stupid!

Please. If you’re looking for a blend which no longer exists, or you are bummed out that you can’t find whatever flavour it is that you’re looking for, do not leave comments here as they will be deleted.
You are better off contacting SBC directly as we are in no way affiliated with them. Our site exists to showcase beautiful packaging design. That’s it. That’s all.
Thank you.

I miss the “old” SBC. I can’t find whole bean Seattle’s Best Coffee any more. You no longer offer mail order service. You’ve been gutted by Starbucks.
