This is the blend for when I have time to sit and really enjoy the smell and taste. I use other blends for morning or regular use, but I always keep this on hand. The flavor is dark and bold, but not as "heavy" as the other dark blends. It is not bitter. It really does leave light lingering herbal flavors as the description states. This is my favorite blend from Starbucks.

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!

[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.

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

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.

I could not pass up the price for this, as it was BOGO. I drink my coffee black most of the time, so it's a great way to truly compare coffees. I found the Sumatra to be more medium, not a full-bodied taste. Although it is a dark roast with a good smell, it didn't have a lot of flavor on its own, to the point that I had to resist the urge to put my almond milk & sugar in there. It was basic, no Verona, but for the price? Very good.

The first task in the morning is to brew a pot of Sumatra. We grind the beans fresh for each pot to ensure our coffee is full-bodied and perfect every time. We have always enjoyed a dark-roasted brew with a earthy aroma and Sumatra definitely provides that. Being retired, we often have a cup or two before breakfast while we are catching-up on the weather. Then we share another cup with breakfast. It's our way for starting a day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent coffee! The bag is easy to open and easy to close back up for fresh coffee. The coffee is easy to get out of the bag. As the coffee brews it is very aromatic and unmistakeably a premium cup of coffee. The coffee is easy to drink and has a nice robust flavor. I am a big fan, and plan to keep my pantry stocked!

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 is my favorite Starbucks coffee. I really love the richness of the taste without being acidic. Other coffees can make my heartburn flare up painfully after one cup, but I can drink this blend all day without any problems. I highly recommend this coffee!
