Seattle’s Best BIG Coffee Giveaway!
Congratulations to Mattfam, Kevin, and David, our winners in this giveaway! I have sent a personal email with instructions to each winner with the subject line “Personal email from Christy, you won!”. Thank you for participating and stay tuned for more great giveaways!
Gratefully, Christy
Most of you know that I LOVE my coffee! The heat of summer doesn’t do anything at all to slow me down, either because I just mix up iced coffee then! When the folks at Seattle’s Best contacted me and told me they had special blends to make the most delicious iced coffee, I was a bit skeptical. I couldn’t understand how a certain blend would make better iced coffee than another.
Well Folks, I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!
I tried both of the iced coffee blends using the cold brew method (click here for an easy way to do that) and have been in coffee paradise ever since! I have been keeping a two quart pitcher filled with concentrate in my refrigerator and treating myself throughout the day. Seattle’s Best has me officially spoiled – and you deserve to be, too!
There are two special blends specifically made for the best iced coffee around. I am addicted, in a big way.
We also enjoyed the Seattle’s Best Blend brewed hot to get our morning started! I really love my coffee.
As a special treat for Southern Plate readers, Seattle’s Best is giving away THREE of the coffee sets pictured above!
Each set includes:
Saturday’s Blend is the late summer blend currently being promoted in cafes and online. The sharpness of East African coffee gives it a complex, layered flavor that is delicious hot, while the natural sweetness of Latin American coffee makes it the perfect summertime refreshment over ice.
Beach House Blend is our early summer blend sold exclusively in cafes and online. It has been a summer favorite since 1998 and is delicious brewed hot or served over ice. Made from a blend of Latin American coffees, Beach House Blend has a refreshingly mild citrus flavor, a sweet, delicate aroma and a smooth finish.
Seattle’s Best Blend is our best-selling and award-winning blend at Seattle’s Best Coffee, offering a bright flavor that we have been perfecting since we came onto the scene in 1970.
With these iced coffees, Seattle’s Best is taking the mystique out of coffee house concoctions and bringing it home to you in a much more affordable way. While people are cutting back on other things, you can actually indulge more by cold brewing your favorite coffee concoctions at home.

I love a mild, smooth, medium roast coffee with 3 splenda and coffee-mate hazlenut creamer.
I can’t WAIT to try your iced coffee recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Girl, I have shared your iced coffee concentrate soooo many times it must feel tired! Great stuff…. I’d love to try it with Seattle’s best!
Hi, I love coffee and chickory as i am from New Orleans… I like to sprinkle some hot chocolate powder in my coffee and make a latte at the office
it’s yum-o
I used to work for SBC, We would make this in 5 gal batches, and we would go through 3 batches a day. This is the only way to make Iced coffee, If normally drink coffee black, just use cold water instead of the milk. It is the only Iced coffee that tastes good enough to drink with no milk and no sugar.
I absolutely love to have a great cup of coffee. Always with half and half…yum!
I like my coffee black.
I love mine to be just like me! Hot, tall, sweet and blond!
One of our daughters calls us “Juan and Juanita Valdez”, the Coffee King and Queen. Yes Maam, we love our coffee rich flavored and black!
I like coffee with half and half. francis
Love mine hot with a little milk.
Ohhh, I love the new “Italian Sweet Cream” by Coffee Mate in my coffee. I also love Tim Horton’s Iced Capps made with Chocolate Milk and a shot of Peppermint. Yummy!!
I love my coffee plain – and black – most of the time. But when I visit my coffeeholic son I always get a skinny, sugar-free latte (diabetic that I am).
hi, i love coffee hot with some flav. creamer or black, also LOVE cold or iced coffee, pretty much any way u can make it, i love it!!
At our house, we have been using a French press for about a year now. What a difference from the usual electric drip coffee maker! My son even took a single serve size press with him to college last year and saved a lot of money and effort by not having to treck to the coffee shop during study sessions. We have also used a couple of different cold brew methods to make concentrate for iced coffee (I’m sure many of you are familiar with the stocking in the pitcher of water method–new stocking, of course!) I am having a lot of fun discovering the many different ways that coffee is used in other cultures. All the best!
My husband brings me a cup of coffee every morning in bed!! What a treat, we talk and start our day together while we sip and wake up!
I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but my husband LOVES his coffee. Hot or cold, he loves it either way.
Love your site, thanks for the giveaway.
I always like my coffee not to hot, plenty of milk and 3 sugars. Goes back to the way my Mom would drink her coffee and when I was just a wee one, I had this little mug from a child’s play shaving kit and Mom would sometimes relent and fill my little cup up with coffee so I could drink like her and Dad. I grew up on sweat tea but coffee was considered a grown up thing and thus I guess why I am not found of really hot drinks.
I love my coffee cold and hot!! I have to have 2 cups of hot coffee in the morning with a flavored creamer. In the afternoon, I love a glass of cold coffee. There’s nothing like a pick-me-up after a long day!! So, as long as it’s a cup of coffee and a little sweet, it is right up my alley!!
COFFEE! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Coffeeeeeee sounds phenomenal right about now.
Thanks for the recipes. I just finished making the lemon chess pie (yum!) and I moved on to the iced coffee recipes. I’m excited to try it with the Seattle’s Best brand next time, though it was delicious with my Folger’s, so I can imagine a bit better coffee will be awesome! Thanks for this website….as southern wannabe, it’s been great!
I love my coffee best at 3:30 p.m. after a tiring day–but the good tired feeling– of teaching elementary school. Hot with a little Splenda and Fat Free coffeemate. I need this treat/pick me up to make it back to my house!
Give it to me iced! It’s 100 degrees outside!
I like my coffee iced. I put ice cubes in an aluminum tumbler. Then I fill the glass almost half way up with ice. I add (and stir in) coffee with 1 spoon of sugar. It is delicious and so easy!
I love my coffee with tons of cream and a smidgen of sugar!
I like coffee cold and sugary. And I drank Seattle’s Best Organic this morning…
Hubby and I L-O-V-E our coffee and we love it black….we want to taste that true coffee taste without “doctoring” it up. I’ve been fortunate to have visited Seattle, Washington and Seattle knows how to do coffee. The prize you are offering would be a wonderful one to win!!
Thanks for all your blogs and twitters!
Hot with lots of REAL cream!
I like my coffee any way my wife makes it
Black, plain~non fancy~black …… if my coffee is cold, it is because the coffeemaker turned of after 2 hours.
I love my coffee strong with a lot of flavored creamer! Hot or cold is great for me so I am expecially excited to hear about these iced blends! Thanks!
I loveeeee iced coffees!! Cold, sweet and a hint of coffee.
I love strong, sweet, ice coffee. White Chocolate is my fav.
Whoo-hoo! I’m so excited! THANK YOU! Oh boy, all the iced coffee I’m going to make! I know I’ll be sharing it. Everytime I’ve made it, it has been a big hit!
I love my coffee with half and half, and one teaspoon sugar- thanks so much!
In the cooler months I like my coffee with milk,hot cocoa,cinnamon all mixed into it warmer months iced coffee baby..and normally I like my coffee hot and black..other times with coffee mate in,half & half..it depends on my mood..but coffee and I are good friends!
