One of our favorites! 😊

K-cups are convenient and quick, and we like the Starbucks ones more than others. At Sam's Club, the prices per pod are a lot less than at retail chains, especially when they are on sale! In addition, being a Plus member means that our shipping is free if we purchase over $50 if certain products are not in our local Sam's Club.

Strong and flavorful

Strong and flavorful, and great aroma. One of the few pods where I can do an 8 ounce and a 6 ounce run to get a bigger cup that isn't so watered down. Price point with a 6 dollar instant rebate made it worth buying.

Great bold taste

This is the coffee that I’ve been looking for. Great bold taste without being bitter. A lot of dark coffees have a bitter taste but this one is perfect.

Bold, smokey and sweet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bold, smokey and sweet, this Starbucks French Roast has all my favorite attributes. It packs a punch of flavor without being too heavy. It is smooth and gives hints of caramel in each sip. I would recommend and purchase again.

For the love of coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one IS MY FAVORITE! I chose this because it is a Dark roast, but don't let that fool you, it is smooth. With notes of dark caramel and sweet smoke, it is a masterpiece. Made with muti-blend beans, hailing from Asia/Pacific, and Latin America, it offers a big bold taste with consistenty and quality. I have found that it is the easiest on my stomach acid as compared to other coffees, and I will continue to purchase. #freesample

Excellent Flavor

I really enjoy the flavor of these pods, and I have tried many different varieties. I like bold coffee flavor, and, for me, this is it. The reason I gave them 4 stars, is that there have been several pods in this box that have a few coffee grounds floating in the coffee after it's been brewed. It does not bother me much, personally, but that is not 5 star quality. Also, I believe that seeing the coffee grounds would bother many people. Interestingly, it only occurs intermittently. I know it's not the coffee maker, because I alternate with a different flavor and brand of K-Cups.

French Me Down

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, this one doesn’t whisper—it announces itself. The French Roast comes in strong like, “Good morning, get it together.” It’s smoky, bold, and honestly a little dramatic. I won’t lie, I usually add cream because otherwise it might roast me instead. But when I need a serious energy boost or I’m running on fumes, this is the one I reach for. It’s basically coffee with a personality… and that personality is intense. ##freesample

Not bitter or biting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't normally drink dark coffee but this one seemed different. It wasn't bitter at all. While dark is not my favorite I did find that I liked this one. I usually pass when someone says all they have is dark but if this one is on the menu I would definitely give it a yes.

Not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love dark roast coffee. That’s what wakes me up. This French roast has that deep dark roast but after you drink it. It’ll leave a not too great aftertaste. It pairs better with a creamer but on its own not the best. #ad #freesample

Cost too much!

Love the coffee, hate the price! My last order was 34.98 on sale from 44.98. That was reasonable. Price increased to 47.98? Then you offer 3.00 on sale? Ridiculous. I wish greed would not drive your pricing.
