Just wanted to comment and agree with all other reviews. We been drinking Sumatra Decaf for years. Great flavor and low acid which we liked. I spent a good amount of time going from store to store to find it and finally being told it was discontinued. Search is over and will find a replacement brand. Disappointed that SB is being less of a coffee store.

I signed on for a "tour" of the dark roast coffees.. Sumatra is one of the choices. I'm glad I tried it, but I could only recommend it to those who want a "tamer" dark roast. I love the aroma of dark roast coffee. And the flavor is every bit as amazing as the aroma. It's something I never grow tired of... But... It seems to me the only one's that have it are the Italian and French roasts. I like my coffee to taste no less roasted than an espresso bean. This one misses the mark. Not that the flavor is 'bad," It just isn't my cup of tea...uh...coffee. Sumatra is better pressed than "espressed." If I had no Italian or French around, I'd drink it. It's not a favorite, but it is full-bodied and has some excellent flavor tones. Perhaps I have a dead palate, but I much prefer the smokier coffees. So...If you like your coffee darker, but not smokey, this would be one you'd want to try. While I wouldn't unconditionally recommend it, it is an excellent choice for those who are "bolder," but still a bit reserved.

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.)

Love the coffee. Got whole bean. (Customer service/website issue: First time order, I wasn't sure if I could actually choose the grind, i.e. for french press. Maybe that was a later choice option, and I didn't get to that point, but the two choices seemed to be ground or not.) It does give me the excuse to go to my local SB store, have it freshly ground when I am ready...and enjoy a coffee and perfect oatmeal. And a perfect start to my day!

I have had a Keurig for many years. I usually grind my own coffee and use an Ekobrew Cup as most K-cups produce a very poor brew. I took a chance and tried the Sumatra. Fabulous! If you like Starbucks Sumatra you will like the K-cup as a quick way to get that big bold deep complex taste. I like my coffee BOLD so I usually use the 6oz cup setting, however I experimented with the 8 and 10oz settings and Sumatra held up well.

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

Starbuck's Sumatra reg and decaf: preference for years I mix them 1/2 & 1/2 4 times a week. I like a strong flavored brew living in the midst of coffee drinkers who seem happy with hot brown colored water. I have to travel for at least an hour to find coffee brewed to my taste. I have family in St. Paul, MN where i find rivaling brews at Dunn Bros.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Sumatra Ground Coffee is earthy and bold, with a full body taste, but the dark roast seems to have knocked most of the nuance out of a single origin coffee, making it very one-note. It's not terrible, just not great. After trying it in various machines, I felt I got the best results using my French press at a lower temperature. #freesample

As far as I'm concerned Starbucks is the definitive and final answer on coffee! Nobody else can even come close to your refinement and perfection of so many different varieties. And most impressive is the strongest and darkest of your coffees never have any trace of bitterness at all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a #freesample and I loved this coffee. I thought it was strong but not over strong and bitter. Very enjoyable compared to the brand that we currently buy. I used my own reusable pod and filled it for my keurig, I used the brew strong setting and a 10 oz cup.
