This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Seattle’s Best.
My name is Janet Wallace and I am a Level 3.
According to Seattle's Best, being a Level 3 means: I'm quick on the draw and ready for just about anything. I'm adept at problem solving and might be found playing chess, building a tree house, or negotiating a business deal. This also means that I like my coffee medium bodied and with a nutty nuance and clean finish.
I'm loving Seattle's Best new Level System, which offers an entire range of coffee enjoyment--from a mild, light, crisp Level 1 to a bold, dark and intense Level 5. Over a week's period, I tried each of the five Levels, starting with Level 1 and working my way to Level 5. Each morning, my husband brewed a pot and we went off to work with our travel mugs filled with the next Level.
The first day, we agreed that the coffee was fantastic. Level 1, we were sure, was going to be the best. But the next day, we tried Level 2. Level 2 had the aroma of cocoa and we immediately decided that Level 2 was going to be the best. And it continued in this fashion for five days. Each day, we tried a new Level, and each day, we thought the coffee was delicious.
After much consideration, I've decided that I'm definitely a Level 3 for daily drinking purposes. The flavor is balanced and full, perfect for daily drinking. But I also like the rich, roasty Level 5 for sipping on a Sunday morning with my New York Times. And, Level 4 is superb for serving with a fat slice of chocolate cake.
If you visit Seattle's Best Facebook Page, you can take the test to find out your level. You'll need to answer important questions such as: It’s Tuesday morning. You’re waiting for the coffee to brew. What’s the perfect accompaniment to that warm mug? Is it:
A blueberry muffin?
A lemon loaf cake?
Old fashioned doughnut?
Chocolate chip cookie?
A hearty egg and bacon sandwich?
Me? Chocolate chip cookies for breakfast! Definitely. Except for the times when what I really want in an old fashioned doughnut. And, occasionally, only a slice of lemon loaf will do.
(Can you see why I can't commit to a single Level?)
Which Level suits your fancy? Are you a happily pragmatic Level 1? A spontaneous, fun Level 2? A up-for-anything Level 3? A mysterious Level 4? A self-assured and focused Level 5? Visit the Official Seattle's Best site and tell me your Level for a chance to win $100 to Amazon.

Posted by: Shannon | April 18, 2011 at 06:52 PM
I definitely a level one, especially since it pairs well with sweet berries (one of my favorite breakfast items).
Posted by: Ali | April 18, 2011 at 07:59 PM
I am torn between 1 and 2. I think I'd try coffee mixology and make a hybrid.
Posted by: Melanie @ Mel, A Dramatic Mommy | April 19, 2011 at 12:11 AM
Were I not a default D (preggers) - I'd say a level 5 - bold, self assured :o)

I'm a level 4. Probably because I requested organic. I'm trying to drink mostly organic fair trade coffees whenever I can :-)

Posted by: Kellyzepp | April 21, 2011 at 10:39 PM
I think I would end up being a 5
Posted by: Amanda Starr | April 22, 2011 at 06:13 AM
I am at level zero because I don't like coffee at all. But I really like Amazon and my wish list is long.
Thanks for the contest.

Posted by: Lauren | April 23, 2011 at 01:06 PM
I am a level five. I like a bold, dark, and intense coffee. The bag describes it as "Courage and confidence to add to your own". I could use that to start my day.
Posted by: Lisa | April 23, 2011 at 03:21 PM
Level 3 sounds about right to me, but their site says I'm a level 5

I used to be a 5 I'm sure, but as I've gotten older I like a milder roast - so I'm probably a Level 3

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.
