Just what we were looking for! My wife and I love the bold taste of a Sumatra coffee and, over the years, we have tried a lot of brands...This Starbucks Sumatra was by far the BEST of all we tried. Yes, it seemed a bit pricy, but for a couple of bucks more it is a GREAT reward in flavor.

Sumatra is the workhorse and is the essence of Starbucks' taste for me. I drink other origins and blends, but I always come back to Sumatra. As a single origin coffee, there is none better. This is for those that like a bold, full bodied coffee from start to finish.

First, the negatives: the amount of broken, defective beans; and mainly the excessive roasting of the coffee. The positive: one can still feel the flavor notes advertised, albeit the «french» or «italian» roasting degree. I think it would benefit with a somehow lighter roasting.

So when can we expect Sumatra Decaf whole beans back in the stores. I have been drinking this coffee for a decade, decaf by doctor's orders. Much to my surprise I have been told the company has discontinued. I bought all that was available in my community and am now nearly out. Would really like to see it back.

We are die hard Starbucks fans and only drink it at home. But we are decaf drinkers and Pike's Place doesn't cut it for us. We need more options please! When we found out Sumatra was getting cut from your Decaf list, we drove around to all the Starbucks and bought them all up. We are down to our last one! We don't want to switch to a different coffee brand but I'm not sure we'll have a choice. What do you recommend? (Not Espresso Roast please.)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My household is huge fans of dark roast coffees, and Sumatra fit the bill more than adequately. We're also really focused on ONE type of coffee bean: time after time, blends or multiple types of beans that create a compilation type of roast just do not taste good, as the flavors seem to "fight" each other, and it always shows up in the flavor of the coffee. Although I might have liked to have ground the beans myself to my taste (as well as coffee making apparatus), it's nice to have a break from doing so! In short, with the dark roast, single-origin type, and ground coffee, Sumatra was a big hit -- and I will look for it in the store to purchase! #freesample

Best price for bold coffee. I ordered 96 pods to get my per pod cost under $1 plus free shipping. I wish I could get the Anniversary blend year round as the Sumatra is a bit too bitter for my taste but I better learn to love it since I now have a 3 month supply

I was so excited that Starbucks decided to join the Keurig family and make k-cups. Sumatra is one of my favs, so I was excited to buy it. It tastes just as great as when I brewed it in a regular coffeemaker. I'm hoping Starbucks decides to make Verona next! Great job Starbucks! Keep the k-cups coming!

I'm so disappointed to learn that Starbucks is discontinuing sales of Sumatra Decal...possibly all beans by the pound. I've been buying solely this for over ten years. I see from other reviews, I'm not alone. Starbucks!!! What gives. I know you'll be loosing business as I now have to find something else. So sad. It's the BEST coffe ever. I have converted multiple friends to Sumatra. What will we do? Bring it back PLEASE!!!

I recently acquired a Keurig as a gift and set it up on my desk in my study at the Ministry. I have been enjoying your Sumatra Single Origin and find is as close to perfection as one can desire. It’s flavor profile is bold, strong with no bitterness, sweet and smokey, pleasing to the palate and with a marvelous reverberation of taste satisfaction and pleasure with each sip. From hot hot hot in the beginning of the cup all the way to cool there emerge a diversity of flavors that are utterly pleasurable....enough! Go get a pound or a box of k-cups, which btw yield superb coffee experiences.
