[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got a #freesample of this blend and only deterrent for it was the initial bite of darkness threw me off on my first sip but the subsequent sips were a smooth and pleasant way to start my morning. I tend to drink my coffee black so assume the “bite” may not be noticed for those who add creamer.

I use the whole bean blend of Caffe Verona in my Miele coffee machine that grinds the beans with each cup and with a touch of chocolate creamer (almond joy is my favorite) it is like heaven in a cup! This is perfect for the chocolate lover because the cocoa texture in the beans adds the right amount of flavor in the cup. Well done Starbucks!

Ok what just happened? I bought this ground coffee around 4 months ago it was the best coffee i ever tasted. Bought this thing again and its the complete opposite. It went from being the best to like really crap. Like from a 9/10 to a 2/10. Is this a bad batch? Im seeing many reviews of people saying the same thing.

I much prefer espresso & can't wait to get mine. I bought the Caffe Verona Pods while I wait. It's pretty good, but I can't get the caffine boost I want with it, I'd have to drink too much & I can only handle 4 pods of the Verona but 6 pods of the espresso! Bigger boost for really tired people with the espresso.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of the Caffee Verona Ground Cofee. It has a pleasant taste and I can recognize the hint of cocoa but didn't notice as much the caramelized sugar taste. This was more of a stronger brew of coffee which brewed great in both my Keurig and traditional coffee maker..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Cafe Verona K Cups have a nice, rich, bold dark roast flavor. I love dark roasts and this is my favorite in store and I love that I can make this roast at home. It makes a fantastic espresso to use in lattes or cappuccinos also. Nothing beats the flavor Starbucks Cafe Verona!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What have you done? I was content and happy with the other brand of K-cup that I drink. I don't know what I expected from this Caffe Verona but, BABY, I AM A CHANGED WOMAN!!!! I can taste the cocoa and caramelized sugar. It came through!!! Not too sweet or too bitter just the right amount. I am an avid coffee lover . The coffee is smooth .It’s dark roast which actually contains less caffeine, but in my opinion it tastes better. No aftertaste like with some dark/bold coffees. The aroma when brewing is out of this world. I will be purchasing this as soon as I finish up the 4 other boxes of my other brand. I have died and gone to heaven! THANK YOU!!!

I had this coffee in my pantry and decided to give it a go. I ground it in my single dose grinder, weigh out the coffee and water, made my normal pour over in a v60. I’ve had it for the past three days and on the first sip today after breakfast it has upset my stomach. The taste is awful, very ashy and bitter in an unpleasant way. There are no interesting or pleasant tasting notes. Maybe I have a bad batch? Or it’s been in my pantry too long? Something is definitely wrong.

For me - It's Dark Roast or nothin'. Recently tried Starbuck's whole bean DR & was instantly hooked on Komodo Dragon. Went to the store for another bag but came across this. Being a hopeless Choco-Freak I just HAD to try this instead. I'm savoring my very 1st cup of Cafe Verona this very moment (while listening to My Sherona) & I must say this blend really does stand up to its description. Very full-bodied, rich robust flavor with indeed a Dark Chocolate tone to it. In short - Intoxicating ! Utterly Fantastic !!! And another pleasant surprise is this will easily replace the Moca (which has Sugar which I can no longer have) I used to get for a sit-down Treat at SB's. If they have this handy they can slow-drip a cup for me while my Wife has her little "Sugar Fest" Blend. Will certainly have a package of this at all times in my Sacred Coffee chest, along with my other SB's Dark Roast blends, which in my opinion you can't go wrong on any ot them. Thank You, Starbuck's - You've made my Day !

I love Cafe Verona and I like to mix the regular with the decaf. I have not been able to find the beans for a long time now and it is very frustrating. Most of the stores sometimes have Verona, but never Verona decaf. It's very frustrating. I end up getting other things that I don't like as much. Please bring it back.
