I am unsure why this product can't be found in Starbuck's stores any more but that is a big mistake. This is the most full flavored of all the Via offerings: dark and rich with no "burned" taste. When I don't have time for a cup of press-brewed, this does the trick!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this ground coffee, because I like Starbucks and I love caramel. However, I was deeply disappointed with the aroma and the flavor. It's too harsh of a flavor, almost acrid. Like burnt tasting. And the aroma, I know there is a smoke component in it, but I was hoping there would be some sort of caramel scent and nothing. I did like that it was a dark roast and the packaging is nice, but it's just not my style. #ad #freesample

I love this coffee. I began using it as soon as the VIA line was introduced, used it for years, and was very disappointed when it became no longer available in stores. Now that it's available online, please package it in 50-packs like the other coffees. Thank you.

I have been buying Starbuck's French Roast Dark Roast K-cup pods for as long as they've been making this flavor. About a month ago, the graphics on their French Roast Dark Roast package changed (or maybe this new package just came to my area). I'm all about updating graphics, so I didn't think anything about it until I drank my 1st cup of coffee out of this new package. This coffee is not the same. Not even close. I looked on the box and the new graphics state notes of dark caramel & sweet smoke. This is not the original FRDR recipe. The original FRDR is intense & smoky. They have definitely changed something to make this coffee sweeter and leave a bitter taste in your mouth. The original FRDR that I've been drinking forever was not sweet and never left a bitter taste on the tongue. I like a good strong cup of coffee and the original Starbucks FRDR has given me that consistently every morning, never failing... until now. Hate to say it, but I will now be shopping around for a new dark roast coffee. This is a real bummer for me. If you just want a consistent, deep rich coffee to wake up to every day, I do not recommend this new Starbucks French Roast Dark Roast at.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very happy with the Starbucks French Roast. If you enjoy dark roast coffee beans, you will enjoy this coffee. Its nice that it's pre-ground so no grinder is necessary. Pre-ground is great for travelling when access to a grinder may be limited.

My husband and I have tried many, many brands and bold flavors. This one is just our all-time favorite. We still have some of the others in the house. But my heart sinks a little when we're out of the Starbucks French Roast and I have to settle for something else. How in the world does Starbucks do it? The flavor and aroma are stellar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its really smooth and creamy. I enjoy the white chocolate creamer makes your coffee less bitter. I havent tried the other flavors yet but will soon try them all. I recommend if you havent tried it gove the white chocolate a try it's really really awesome.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coffee is an absolute must for me! These single coffee cups are so cute and convenient. They’re easy to use. You just pop it open pour it in our coffee machine and brew 4 cups. This is enough for me for the day. Love that it will stay fresh every cup. I also love the fresh strong taste of the coffee. I love the fact that every time I brew up a new batch it’s coming straight from a newly sealed can so that it’s fresh every time.

I suppose the coffee is OK, but the problem with my order of 10 bags for Christmas gifts is a problem. The bags of whole bean coffee are very hard, caked like old coffee, wrinkled, and just a mess. I cannot use those as gifts now, as they look like they were throwaway items,so I cannot give a pleasing review.

This dark beans, French roasted coffee has the absolute best flavor. Being dark roasted, it has lower acid levels than other coffees, which means it doesn't give me a tummy ache. I have had stomach problems, and the French roasted, dark beans are absolutely the best for no heartburn, lower acid. It is great coffee and is an experience, not just a drink! Great!@!
