My coffee pot holds up to 8 ounces of beans in an air tight container. I set the pot to have my coffee ready by 6:45am. The coffee beans are ground, put into the basket, and brewed with piping hot water. Takes about 8 minutes. Nothing better than the smell of the coffee as I walk down the hallway to my kitchen.

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.

My husband and I have been drinking sumatra and decaf sumatra for at least a decade. We have some of each always in the freezer and mix them depending on how much caffeine we want in that particular pot. I love that coffee, and the water-based method of removing the caffeine. Like others I will now have to find another brand who uses that same method because I do not want coffee that has ben treated with methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. Why did you discontinue it? You are losing so many customers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Starbucks Sumatra ground coffee is a bold, full bodied coffee. It has a robust bold taste. For me, the perfect way to enjoy this coffee is to mix it with a milder coffee and then it is the perfect cup. On its own, I find the coffee is a little too strong for my taste but for those that enjoy that full body coffee this is a perfect cup. #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved a bag of Starbucks Sumatra ground coffee as a free sample. This coffee tastes delicious. I has a great strong flavor - it is rich and smooth , the way I like my coffee and is a great way to start my day. I will continue to drink this coffee every morning!

I was very excited when these became available. Sumatra is one of my favorite roasts. So, naturally, I ordered 2 boxes. Unnaturally, they taste NOTHING like whole bean Sumatra. If you like Sumatra, stay away from these pods. Can't say much else. Extremely disappointed. Hopefully Starbucks will made Gold Coast and/or French Roast pods without ruining them too.

My wife and I were introduced to it about four years ago when her sister brought her own beans during a visit. Prior to that, French roast had been our years-long choice. Sumatra has since been our favorite. I grind the beans to espresso for fullest impact. We take our own beans, grinder, and coffee maker--even to nicer hotels--when we travel in order to ensure our Sumatra satisfaction in the morning.

Previous to this order, I ordered sumatra decaf whole bean. The beans were very dark as I expected. When I got my order of reg sumatra whole beans, the beans were light colored, tan. When I brew I do half decaf, half reg. I noticed the coffe was lighter. What is wrong?

This was my first love at Starbuck's. :) If you like this as much as I do you'll love the anniversary blend 2011. Blended with aged Sumatran beans, it's Sumatra kicked up a notch. I'll be back to Sumatra when SB's runs out of the limited anniversary blend.

I have tasted hundreds of different coffee brands/blends in my lifetime, I have very sensitive tastes and Sumatra is in a league of its own. I have converted cream and sugar coffee drinkers, to plain black coffee drinkers, after serving them a strong cup of Sumatra for the first time. I recently introduced my own 53 year old mother to the blend and now I am frequently buying her Sumatra K-Cup pods to drink at work. I make mine strong at 1 scoop, per 1 cup of water and it makes a cup of coffee that is difficult to put into words but which can keep the spirits up during long overtime shifts and during late night board game sessions with family.
