This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Seattle’s Best.
I love trying new kinds of coffees. I enjoy how some coffees are more bold, or nutty, or rich but there are so many names for coffee it’s hard to know what is what. That’s why Seattle’s Best Coffee started their Coffee Levels – Level 1 is the lightest and mildest coffee and Level 5 is the boldest and darkest coffee.
I recently had a chance to try all five of Seattle’s Best Coffee Levels (no, not all on the same day. That would be a lot of coffee, even for me!).
I started with Level 4 – rich, elegant, and complex. It was very rich, almost like dark chocolate. I like it a lot but one cup was enough because it was so so rich.
Then I had Level 1 – mild, light, crisp. I actually enjoyed this milder blend much more than I thought I would. It was easy to drink and had a slightly sweet aroma.
But I really hit my sweet spot when I tried Level 3 – balanced, smooth, full flavored. It was funny that I liked this one best because that is what I had predicted I would like best. It was very smooth but yet full for flavor.
A close second to Level 3 was Level 2 – Bright, lively, easy drinking. Level 2 reminded me a lot of Level 3. I would definitely buy these two levels again in a heartbeat to be my daily drinkers.
I finished up with Level 5 – Bold, dark, intense. I liked this one too but it was bit too dark for me.
Overall, I liked all of the coffees a lot and think the level system is really cool. I am a little surprised I liked the more medium blends better, because I think of myself as a “strong coffee drinker” but I guess I like my coffee somewhere in the middle so I can drink it black and drink a lot of it!

I think I'd be level one!

I think level 4 might be my perfect cup of coffee! Mmmm, I love coffee!
I would like to try Level 1 or 2 because I don't like my coffee too strong.

I'd like to try level five for when I'm in the mood for a strong cup of coffee and level one for when I want something light. LPoser1 [AT] gmail [DOT] com
I'm a wimp so probably level 2 would bs delightful for me.
I like lighter coffees, definitely a level 1 for me!
Level 3 for me!
I drink mine with a little half-and-half, so I love something strong! Maybe a level 4! Mmmm!
I'm a level 2 or 3! something right in the middle-I'm goldilocks!
I'd say a Level 1--I'm kinda a coffee baby :)
I'll take a Level 4 Fair Trade & Organic - Rich, elegant, earthy sounds good to me!

I'd like to try level 1 or two

Level 5 for sure.
I think I would like 3 or 2, something right in the middle. Not too bold, but not too light either.
I'd love to try #3, a compromise for my husband and myself! Sounds great :-)
Level 2
Level 1 for sure!

Level 2 for me!
I think I would like to try level 1 or 2 because I just started drinking coffee not too long ago, actually after having a baby and being tired! :)
I think I would like to try Level 4. It sounds like the right brew for me.
I just blogged about your awesome giveaway at: http://daphnehope.blogspot.com/2011/04/giveaway-at-newlyweds.html
Level three.. like Goldilocks, it sounds just right!
I think I would be a level one!
jmajunkmail at yahoo dot com
I think I would love level 4 because I love my coffee a little fuller!
Level 3 is calling my name!
I think I would like a medium blend.
I'm a level 3 also

Level 1!
I think that I would like level 1... I'm not much of a coffee drinker. My dad would like level 5, so there is hope for me :) Thanks for the generous giveaway!
I'm with you, level 2 or 3 would be my preference.
Probably level 1... I like my coffee pretty mild.
Pretty sure I'd like Level 2!
Level 2, with cream and sugar, of course!
kimberly dot mchugh at gmail dot com
Level 3 with splenda!
arzimmerman78 at gmail dot com
I'd like to try Level 3 & Level 4. I'm pretty sure I'd love them both.
I think I'd like level 1.
i'd like to try all levels, i think i would like level 1 the best since i like mild coffee.

I think I would like level 4- I like strong coffee!
I think I would be a level 1 girl!
Real.simple.Kristen at gmail dot com
Level 3 sounds good to me. Not too light, but not too bold. YUM :)
I'm pretty sure I'd be a Level 2.
Hmm I think I would like the Level 3. I like a good amount of flavor.
I would probably keep it pretty safe and pick level 1 because I'm a novice coffee drinker. lol I do appreciate the level system, though.
I think I am a level 3! Also, I went to the officials rules and entered that way as well.
Thanks!
I'm still pretty intimidated by strong black coffee, so I think I'd be a level 1 girl!

I would probly be a level 2. My favorite blends tend to be breakfast blends.
I think I would be a level 3... I like a coffee with a good amount of flavor and boldness, but if I go too dark it seems to be bitter to me.
rendyjanssen @ gmail.com
level 3 for me!
Normally I think I'd be a level 4 because, like you, I think I like bolder coffee flavors. But your review of level 3 sounds pretty good too...
I'm a coffee wimp so level 1 for me!

I'm not a big coffee drinker so I'd definitely start with level one!
i think i would enjoy level 4...i fancy myself a dark roast drinker.
I think I would like either level 2-3. I also love Gloria jeans Butter toffee for the Keurig....seriously yummy coffee!
2-3 for me probably?!
:)
I love coffee, but can't drink it :( Makes me sick most of the time. But if I were able to drink it, I'd go with #3...sounds perfect!

Thanks for the contest.

I think level 4 would be just delightful. I am a really strong coffee drinker. I'm talking "Gilmore Girls" kind of strong coffe. I would relish the chance to enjoy the level 4!
I’m a level 1, I like mild flavored coffee. I’d add 4 creams and 4 sugars!

I like level 4 - and not just because the bag matches my counter! I've yet to try 5, but now will pick up a bag when I go grocery shopping tomorrow. It was a 2 pot day so I'm running low...
Level 2 - and lots of it - sounds lovely!!
I'm sure that I'd be a level 1! {If needed, my email address is in my profile.}
I started with level 5 and still like it over all. I have found that decaff level 3 is great at night.
I think I would like #3 or #4 because it can't be too light because I put too much flavored creamer in my coffee, so I like it a bit stronger or I don't get the coffee taste!
-Kari Kirkham
#1 for sure!
I'm a level 2

hmmm took their Facebook quiz and they say I am a level 4. I am guessing that is because I prefer to buy organic anything. LOL I would think I would fall in the level 1 though.
