This coffee is for the bold seekers and drinkers. Careful not to follow the brewing instructions on this one - it will be too strong (unless you like it that way) - the best taste, however, is found when cutting the brewing instructions down by a few tablespoons. Practice with it to find your own favorite "sweet spot" and you'll enjoy a smooth richness hiding inside this bold blend!

I had a coffee supplier some years ago whose Sumatra was my favorite. It went out of business. I then started my search for another supplier. I tried several over a couple of years then tried Starbucks. Who woulda thought they would have Sumatra coffee. Since then this is my go to coffee. Great flavor. Forget about making it too "strong", It just gets "Richer". Several in my family agree. Actually, everyone who tries it. dave

Ordering coffee by mail, is a s easy as putting a teabag in a cup of hot water, the results are the same, no trouble at all. Sumatra, the bold coffee for the person who needs a quick fix for that wake up, get up and go kind of boost, without the trouble of going to the medicine cabinet and popping a pick me up pill. LOVE IT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Sumatra Ground Coffee is exceptional! Bold, earthy, and full-bodied, it delivers a smooth yet intense flavor. The grind is perfect for a rich brew, and the packaging keeps it fresh. Highly recommend for dark roast lovers! #ad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a #freesample of Starbucks Sumatra Ground Coffee in exchange for my honest review. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth this roast is; strong (but not bitter) with just the right amount of acidity. If you like a full-bodied dark roast, I recommend you give this one a try.

I love the bold flavor of a "strong" cup of coffee but struggle when trying to meld a robust flavor with a taste that is not too bitter. I believe I may have found that balance in Starbucks Sumatran. This is not a coffee for everyone as it is truly Bold (note the capital "B") in flavor, but the adventurous palette will be richly rewarded.

The flavor is good, same as always. However, I am disappointed that the packaging is not at all what it looked like on the website. You see, I bought this coffee beans online partially because I liked the design of the package, but what I got was the old version (white background with some purple design on it). And this made me feel I was lied to about the product. The flavor was good tho.

I lived in Sumatra for three years and have consumed more than 30 lbs of Sumatra coffee in the last three years in addition to Kenya... I use to have starbucks sumatra and kenya coffee - BUT never dark roast either K or S... When I ordered the coffee - I don't believe it identified it as a dark roast rather than medium roast (half roast as they call it in Cairo...Dark roast is terrible. I have already given it to some who like dark FREE... The Dark was shiped five days after order place and then took a week to arrive....TOTAL experience - Never Again I have alternative sources...ByeBye

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am usually not a dark roast fan but this Sumatra Ground Coffee is a very smooth blend that does not disappoint. I am very pleased with the taste and smell. I will be purchasing this in the future.

This is simply great coffee. Have tried (most) of the other blends, including the highly regarded "Dragon" variety but keep coming back to Sumatra. For a great breakfast coffee, mix half Sumatra with half House Blend in your burr grinder and you can't go wrong.
