This is an excellent alternative to my stand by French Roast. It is a slightly lighter dark roast, and has caramelly flavor and is very smooth..

The beans contain a lot of oil, so maybe not for all machines. But this is what gives me the best results.

I love getting my own beans to grind and love it and gotta find the amount to put in to make because it can get too strong and give it a bitter taste and i found my sweet spot

I think because of the amount of coffee in bag which they made it cheap way, base of small amount in bag that have that more rich taste. After all is not about for the price.

Many recent reviewers complain that something has changed for the worse with this coffee. This is the first time I have bought this type and think it is very good. It must have been amazing before!

Just received the Starbucks expresso roast beans that I ordered. I am shocked and disappointed that Sam's Club is mailing out coffee that is past the use by date. I've never seen this happen. It must have been sitting around a long time. I think I'll return it for a fresh bag. What a hassle.

Well as a new Sam's Club member this is my first review. Unfortunately the aroma wasn't as strong as the usual Starbucks espresso is. Expiration date shown is September 2024. I could smell a weak residual of the typical aroma when opening the beg, but after brewing an espresso cup, very weak aroma indeed. Taste wasn't bitter, sweet even but the typical Starbucks experience was missing. I've asked for a replacement to be shipped. This was a shipped order. Maybe buying at the Club is better?

I bought these beans on-line as I did not even know Sam's Club carried them. Apparently they are not carried in our club. I just ground up enough for three doubles and let me tell you this is the real deal when it comes to espresso coffee. Full bodied, not bitter an very dark in color. If you are looking for real espresso coffee taste, these are for you!

Fresh! Great size for the amount of espresso I drink!

Great coffee I would buy it again
