Get Burger King Coffee From ROASTe.com

In a flurry of web articles several months ago, Burger King made the news with its decision to replace its popular Burger King coffee Douwe Egberts coffee with Seattleโ€™s Best. The news is still being discussed online in comment forums, making this a current issue, especially since folks are asking for another source for the old BK Joe coffee drinks.

Burger King thought they had a good reason to change their coffee source. Maybe it was really the economy, but their stated reason was to provide more variety. The Douwe Egberts, used in a liquid concentrate form, was available only in cappuccino and latte flavors. BKโ€™s nutrition information did not give a brand name for their regular coffees. With the SBC brand, they now offer iced coffees in mocha, vanilla and regular flavors for $1.89 and black coffee in regular and decaf in $1, $1.19 and $1.39 sizes.

SBC, as many know, was acquired by Starbucks, the coffee giant everyone loves to hate. That doesnโ€™t mean that SBC is roasted as dark as the burnt beans of the parent company. In fact, according to our news sources, the SBC brand is advertised as a lighter variety than that sold under the Starbucks label.

Hereโ€™s the good news for former Burger King coffee fans: You can brew your Douwe Egberts coffee at home, as ROASTe.com sells at least eight varieties.

Or, pour your coffee to-go BEFORE you head for your favorite drive-through breakfast lane.
