I am a bit coffee crazy and I especially love an overly strong cup of it. I have tried all Starbucks available darkroasts as well as several other pricier specialty small roasters coffees. Of them all, I keep going Back to Sumatran. This has a nice strong flavor but is very smooth with no acidic after taste, no pungent burnt taste and it has really pleasant flavor notes. This is the perfect dark roast to sip on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What is the best way to wake up? With Starbucks in your cup of course!!! Open the bag and let the aroma wash over you as you prepare your coffee maker and make the first delicious cup of this smooth full flavor. It will make your taste buds dance with sure delight!!! #ad

I have had a Keurig B-60 for years,. When I contacted Keurig one time by phone they said, "Oh, you've got one of the old ones!" Anyway, there has been only one failing on the part of the Keurig: no Starbucks K-cups. Being a big Starbucks fan, I've looked for the K-cup to equal Starbucks in flavor. I've tried almost every dark roast over the years. Oh, BTW, I've favored Starbucks Sumatra and Verona. So, suddenly, Starbucks offers K-Cups. The Sumatra is the best coffee I've had from my B-60, with the Verona coming in at #2. This leaves us with only one question: While buying directly from the Starbucks site is the cheapest way per cup, why are there no Verona K-cups available here?

I bought my first Verisimo the first week they came out. Until recently I only bought the Espresso pods. However I have switched to Sumatra as my coffee of choice. As with another reviewer, I found that purchasing Verisimo pods in a retail location can be a challenge, you have to realize that sometimes the best is not easily available. However purchasing online is easy, and very convenient with rapid delivery.

This is the best coffee that I have ever drank. Although now my Doctor says that I have start drinking decaf. That's ok, I will still be buying. It is a smooth bold flavor that does not leave a bitter after taste. It last me for over a month sometimes. Great Quality!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sumatra Starbucks coffee is my favorite coffee. Makes a great latte. The quality is much better than most other brands. The taste is perfect for a cup of coffee or a latte. Friend don’t let friends drink Duncan.

This is by far my favorite "strong" brew coffee without any bitterness that usually comes with other bold flavored coffee. If you enjoy a full bodied dark roast, this is for you. Cafe Veronia and Italiian Roast are great too but this brew has more of a full bodied flavor of even those. Beware, if you don't like dark full bodied coffee, then Sumatra definately isn't for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very smooth texture in tongue. This single origin Sumatra did not disappoint. Truly bold and full bodied which I like. For a dark roast it’s not acidic. Tasting notes are rich herbs and rustic spices. Great product overall. #free sample

Regarding Decaf Sumatra: We love Sumatra Decaf. We bought it on a regular basis until it became nonexistent. The flavor is wonderful and, as many have mentioned, there are many people who can't have caffeinated coffee. It's not easy to find good tasting decaffeinated coffee. Also, something that was important to us is that we like the fact that Decaf Sumatra is decaffeinated by using the natural Swiss water method . We have been Starbucks customers for a long time, but when Starbucks quits listening to their customers it may be time to look elsewhere for our decaffeinated coffee.

I have been using Sumatra for many years, and I went back to ordering online after inventory levels started to decline in the local stores. This product is over-roasted and does not seem as fresh/aromatic as it was in the past. The beans are dry, with no oil on the surface. As if it were old stock. Sumatra used to be my favorite Starbucks offering, hands down. I'm not giving up yet, but I have had better Sumatra than this last shipment!
