Love the boldness of this coffee, and have so for over 10 years. Had 5 lbs. delivered to Iraq and it only took about 5 days to get here and was super fresh. I have tried many brands and flavors of coffees around the world, but still come back to Starbucks French Roast as my all time favorite. Thanks for roasting such a great product.

This is one of the two coffees my husband uses along with Espresso Roast (yes, at the same time). He likes really strong coffee and then flavors it with cocoa, heavy cream and caramel. He is very set in his ways and I was able to switch him to Starbucks brand coffee beans, no problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Starbucks. My husband absolutely loves French roast coffee. This is his favorite to brew in the morning to enjoy with breakfast. Great taste! The hint of dark caramel and sweet smoke make this coffee taste wonderful!

This is a deliciously intense blend. Bold and smoky. I prefer a grind on the fine side of medium and fresh ground every cup. Definitely best to use a French Press with water around 200 degrees and brew 3 minutes before depressing the plunder and pouring. I prefer to use 3 tablespoons per 10 ounces. I have found that this brewing method yields a perfect cup of Starbucks French Roast with zero bitterness. Once again, delicious blend and perfect roasting. Keep up the great work Starbucks.

French Roast is my favorite Starbucks coffee. I started drinking it way back when it was a big part of all their blends. Somehow it achieves a sweet, smoky smoothness with no harsh finish or burned aftertaste. I hope rumors of its demise are exaggerated - nothing else is quite the same.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good coffee. I love to drink this coffee in the morning. It's strong enough to feel awake right away. One can is enough for the whole day if I make it in a pot. Taste even better if you make it with the steam milk and put some chocolate on top.

The box I received had an expiration date of Dec 2014. I realize that is two months away. However, local stores are selling the same product with expiration dates of April and May 2015. There is a definite taste difference in this coffee when it's within a few months of expiration -- perhaps b/c of storage in facility? Otherwise, this product is usually good. Customers just need to know they might not get the freshest coffee by ordering direct from Starbucks (as I had assumed).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Starbucks French roast kcup is one of the best pod coffees I have tried. The flavor is deep and rich and the smell it puts out when brewing is very exciting. It also makes a very strong cup of coffee.

So far 2 of the Via packages are not useable. I can't get the coffee out of the package. The other end of the package was open and it was dried out so it seemed like a lump of coal. The other one didn't seem to be open but the coffee was the same way. (I do love this dark coffee)
