This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Seattle’s Best.
My day is not complete without a cup of coffee or two (or even three).
I love drinking coffee with my morning breakfast both when I am at home or when I am traveling for work. I love drinking it in my cold office in the morning or right after lunch (or both). And I love grabbing a cup of coffee with a friend to catch up after work or on the weekends. Sometimes on the weekends my husband will even make me and espresso treat in the fancy espresso maker we got for our wedding. He is the best.
I take my coffee black. Or sometimes black with a bit of non-fat milk. It took me years of coffee drinking to learn to like it without cream and sugar, but I actually prefer it mostly black now. You can call me crazy if you want.
Recently I had the chance to read about Seattle’s Best Coffee’s new “Level” system for packaged coffee.
The Level System allows you to easily find and choose a Seattle’s Best Coffee blend that fits your tastes and personality best – from a mild, light, crisp Level 1 to a bold, dark and intense Level 5. It really takes the "guess work" out of picking a coffee. Pretty cool, right?
I went to the the website to see what Level I thought I would be. Having not yet sampled any of the levels, I think I’m a Level Three.
The Level Three personality says that, “you’re ready for anything. Adept at problem solving, you might be found playing chess, building a tree house, or negotiating a business deal.” That sounds like me, particularly the problem solving and business deal part (which is what I do all day every day).
The Level Three flavor profile is “medium-bodied, medium acidity, nutty nuance, and a clean finish.” Sounds delish! I can't wait to try it with a dash on non-fat milk as I head out the door to the office.
Soon I am going to taste all five levels and let you know what I think. But in the meantime, BlogHer is giving away a $100 Amazon gift card to one lucky reader!

Awesome giveaway on @SoCalNewlywed's blog! http://newlywedsnextdoorreviews.blogspot.com/2011/04/tell-me-what-seattle-best-coffee-level.html
I'm a level 1; I prefer a lighter, less intense coffee.
I tweeted: http://twitter.com/#!/carrotrunr/status/55090286342307840
I'd probably be a level 1.
I'm probably a solid Level 2...I don't like my coffee really strong but I do want a dash of flavor. I usually add some flavored cream or even Hershey's syrup to liven it up a bit too.

Pretty sure I'd be a Level 1 - I'm a wimp!
I'm not a coffee drinker, but my husband is. He normally uses a french press, so he likes his coffee pretty strong...I'm guessing he'd be a 4!
I just took the quiz and I'm a level 3!
another level 3 here! though I def need a splash of milk and a bit of sugar in my coffee :)
I'm a fairly new coffee drinker, so I would probably be a level 1, but I have to say level 4 sounds a lot like me. So maybe I'll be moving up the scale in no time!
Like you I am a level 3, definitely not a chess player--but teaching 8th grade is a similar challenge right?
I didn't start drinking coffee until about a year ago, at which point I would literally dump creamer and sugar to make it palatable. Now I can't imagine starting my day with a few cups of black coffee. So I'm guessing I'd be around a 4!
brittanythompson1035 at yahoo dot com
I'm thinking that I'm a level 2.
100% level five because I LOVE bold dark rich roasts... but description for level 1 could also be applicable to me. LOL
I'm probably around level 2 or 3... althought I do enjoy a good bold every now and then...
I am not the biggest fan of coffee so I would definitely be a level 1!
I'm definitely a level 2!! I think I'm going to have to try this some day!
Thanks, K! :)
I'm a level 1.
I'm pretty sure I'm a level three!
I bet I'm a level 2 or 3.
I think that I am a level 2!
in terms of taste: level 4.
personality: level 1
I'm definitely a level 3 or 4. I like my coffee bold, but not too bitter.
I am not much for coffee, and that is a good thing seeing how I am expecting. My husband on the other hand is addicted to the stuff. I would even say that he is a 5 because he is so intense, and that is how he likes his coffee. I do love the concept of putting in levels.
I would have to say I'm a level 3!
i'd probably be a 3 with extra cream and splenda
nannypanpan at sbcglobal.net
Level one all the way. Your trip looks so awesome ! Keeps me warm in this cold oklahoma weather.
I love the levels concept! I'd probably start out at number 3 and go from there!
I'M A LEVEL 1, I LIKE MY COFFEE VERY LIGHT WITH LOTS OF CREAM & LOTS OF SUGAR! THANKS! kytah00@yahoo.com

I think I'm a Level 2!
I'd be a level one

I'm a medium girl. I like a little kick sometimes, though... so those are reserved for days I reaaaally can't get outta bed. :)
I gave up caffeine til June 1, but I'll be back on the bandwagon soon enough.
Glad you had a nice ski vacation! Last one of the season, I bet!
I'd either be a 1 or a 2, but I'm thinking a 2.

i would say lvl 2
i don't drink coffee so I guess I'd be a level 0, although adding some cinnamon or vanilla to a level 1 does sound more tasty.
Most days I would say I'm a 2, some days a 3

I'm probably a level 4. Sadly, I've recently developed a caffeine intolerance and have to take what I can get in decaf! Either way, I like mine with half and half (no sugar) and occasionally some flavored syrup.

Level 5 for me. I like the darkest roast I can get, but then I do add nutrasweet and half and half - light and sweet. I know it doesn't make sense to say I like a dark roast with tons of cream, but the dark roast has a wonderful flavor.

I think I'd like to try the level 2. Sounds really good!
I store my email over in my Blogger profile. Thanks!
I'm a level 3 decaf (my body does NOT do well with caffiene), and I always put lots of yummy flavored non-dairy creamer in!
Unbelievably I've never had a cup of coffee. I do love the smell, though. . .
The smell of coffee reminds me of breakfast at my dad's house. But I don't drink it myself.

I'm a level 4, although occasionally I'll take a walk on the level 5 side :)
I like my coffee with sweetened with stevia, and with a touch of creamer (sometimes plain, sometimes flavored - at the moment, it's Creme Brule)
I like my coffee mild and light so I guess I am a level 1.

I'm not a coffee gal, but prefer tea. My hubby, on the other hand, would definitely be a 5.
I'm definitely a level 3! I am so disappointed when my coffee is weak and grossed out when it's too strong. Level 3 it is!
I like my coffee medium. If it's too weak it is gross with milk and splenda in it. On the other hand, Starbucks is too strong for me. I like Seattle's best and I'd love to try the new "levels!"
I think I'd be closest to a Level 3.
