Not quite as dark as French roast, this is an excellent change from our ordinary weekend coffee. It has a pleasant, above average, taste, look, smell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Sumatra coffee is the best way to start and end my days , it has such a rich and bold taste that i love. i can not for the next day to start

I heard mixed reviews about Sumatra roast, but discovered that it is a great, rich dark roast--pleasant and not bitter. Sometimes I make a mocha with Sumatra, and the chocolate really is enhanced by the subtle earthiness of this dark roast coffee.

I purchase this coffee thinking it might be too strong for me, but to my surprise it was bold but very smooth. A dark roast with a lot of flavor and spice, not strong at all. I have become a big fan of this coffee and will order more.

this is a great coffee to use as regular coffee or espresso, the sad part is ordering on line and getting your product with out taking almost 2 weeks to recive

Was looking for a coffee that had just the right amount of kick for that first cup of "JOE" to jump-start the day. Found what I was looking for in SUMATRA..

Mix 2 pounds espresso beans to 1 pound Sumatra beans in a large bowl. Add 3-4 Tablespoons Cinnamon. Mix well and presto, a blend pretty close to Starbucks Holiday. Really wonderful. Everyone who visits loves the blend.

Sumatra is what coffee is suppose to taste like!!! full, rich and worth a 45 min drive to get. If Christmas blend (Not Holiday Blend) is out of stock Sumatra is the next best A perfect strong cup every time, time after time

This is one our favorite varieties of coffee from Starbucks. It brews up great every time. We grind our own beans and make it as strong as we like. It is strong without being bitter.

the taste is sensational for those who like dark coffees. it's not bitter. What I don't like about it was that I was to be credited 45 points and I don't think I got that and the postage was high.
