This French Roast has been my go-to coffee for years. I've been grinding my own beans since about 1995 and started using a press a couple of years ago. I absolutely love the smoothness of this coffee.

VIA goes in my suitcase and purse to buck up weak restaurant coffee. At home, it serves to lend its strong,true flavor to carafes as well as make single cups. A versatile performer with consistent good taste.

Verona, which is my favorite coffee, wasn't available so I picked the french roast instead. It's good, but I personally don't like it as much as Verona.

French Roast has been our family favorite for years. It is really nice to have our subscription and get our French Roast pound regularly. We love the European influence of the taste and we make it almost espresso strength!

The coffee smells good but it is too bold. Has a taste like someone put out their cigar in your mug. Not my favorite. Pikes Place and Sumatra are my favorite.

I am hooked on Via because of the great taste and ease of use. French roast, yo me, is the best by far and I wish I could buy it in the large pack.......instead I have to buy the Italian roast, which is not my favorite.

I have been buying the French roast whole bean Starbuck coffee for years. I grind it myself. I was so glad to get the last offer...I ordered 7 pounds!

I had run out Starbucks French roast whole beans and did not have access to a store that sells them, so I ordered online. The beans arrived as quickly as possible and were extremely fresh. It was such a relief to have my favorite coffee once again!

Love the deep rich smokey flavor of French Roast. Holds up well when used in ice coffee. Can't say enough about how fresh the beans stay in the packaging they use for the whole beans.
