Starbucks Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee — Espresso — 100% Arabica — 1 bag (18 oz) (Pack of 2)

This Starbucks whole bean coffee is an excellent choice for espresso lovers. The beans arrived quickly and were vacuum sealed and tightly wrapped — both times I’ve ordered in the past few weeks, the packaging has been consistently perfect, preserving freshness beautifully.What sets this coffee apart are the flavor notes — rich molasses and smooth caramel come through in every cup. It grinds beautifully and pulls a bold, balanced espresso shot. The quality is consistent, and the freshness is obvious from the aroma alone.Highly recommended if you want café-quality coffee at home, with reliable delivery and top-notch flavor.

shipped earlier than original date, which was good for me. Coffee quality was good, quantity was a little more than I paid for (as bags were 16oz instead of 18oz). Overall, happy with my purchase price and early delivery.

I know, I know, Starbucks. I do not enjoy their in-house coffee when they brew it, it always has a Starbucks burnt taste. I thought it was how they roast their beans. So, purchasing a whole bean bag for home brewing was a risk. Turns out, when brewed correctly, this French Roast has none of the burnt taste, just plenty of good French Roast flavor. At the time of purchase it was more than a bargain.

Hola les escribo a mi comunidad cubana que les encanta el café fuerte como a mi que si tienes una cafetera que puede moler el café o un molinillo es una buenísima opción y muy rica! Lo recomiendo cantidad !!!

For the espresso flavorOk coffee for espresso.Personal preference as this is a bit to bitter for me. It does work as my back up if I cant get ahold of my main bean style.I love making iced espressos in the morning. I'm picky and like it a very particular way that coffee shops just can't replicate (mainly because of the syrup I use)This isn't my favorite bean to use but it works in a pinch.I've noticed its hit or miss on roast. Sometimes its roasted and really oily and nice. Other times its over roasted and smells burnt, coffee tastes burnt also when that happens.Its not a very consistent roast. If you like inconsistent espresso making this is a bean for you.I'm giving 4 stars specifically because of the inconsistent roast. There shouldn't be variation with a company like Starbucks.I could never get this to crème very well when making espresso. It was always quite flat.I do not recommend this for cold brew or drip makers. Its too dark of a roast. May work in a french press or moka pot.Quality is pretty inline with price. You are getting what you pay for. As in not the top shelf coffee but not the bottom shelf either. This is squarely in the mid tier coffee bean realm.For the café Verona flavor.It's my go to. Beans have consistent roast, as in every bag is the same. Has an earthy chocolate flavor. Almost never bitter but if it is can be negated with some half and half (that's what I use)The café Verona is my every day espresso. I'm not a big Starbucks fan but this bean is so good, it is the best bean I've found for myself. Exactly what I want in an espresso bean.

Starbucks dark roast is one of our home staples. It’s always a quality product with a smooth taste. Did you know that darker roasts tend to have lower acidity? I used to buy lighter roasts thinking I was doing my stomach a favor. Then I came across several articles about how darker roasts have a lower acidity, and that rings true with this dark roast. It always tastes great. I like ordering multiple 12 oz packs from Amazon as it is less expensive than my local grocery store.

I try not to support one brand, especially non-local big brands but the Dragon rules! If you like a dark roast like I do, it's this or SB-Espresso roast.

So glad to find this at Amazon. During the pandemic, Starbucks did not grind coffee at the store, and so I got into the habit of purchasing whole beans and grinding them myself. As coffee prices continue to rise, this remains reasonably priced. Not available in this size in stores. Appreciate being able to purchase these.
