1. No directions on box. 2. No directions on each cup. 3. Coffee is strong with an acid taste no matter how much or less grounds that I put in my cup. 4. Love Starbucks' coffee and have stock in it but this time, I'm very disappointed.

For those times when you want a quick pick me up and don't want to mess with the French press or another brewing method. A quick microwave cup of water and - you have a great cup of coffee. LOVE IT

We thoroughly enjoy the French Roast whole bean. My spouse and I prefer the very strong, flavorful, rich, whole bean coffees of Starbucks. We conveniently order online two or three bags at a time. When down to one bag we order more.

The best dark roasted coffee you can buy. We have purchased other flavors of the dark roasted coffees , but this one has the smoothest flavor, not bitter, and is strong enough that you can enjoy your coffee, and not have a bland taste.

Difficult to find, especially in stores, because it sells out so fast. Great for taking Starbucks on the road when traveling. Our fav, along with Via Ready Christmas Blend. A winner for sure! Please keep making French Roast in Via packs!

My coffee snob husband, who has sneered at instant coffee and drinks only fresh brewed French Roast, uses the French Roast Via. THAT'S AN ENDORSEMENT. (The ordering process was painful but was fixed. )

Great product -- I no longer have to throw away half a pot of coffee at the end of the day. Shipping was VERY speedy. I only wish French Roast was available in larger packages, like some of the other VIA products.

We've been drinking another brand's French Roast but decided to try Starbucks. My heavens, what a difference!!! This is now our new favorite and only a few pennies more per pod than the others (less than many).

This was a gift for my wife. In all candor, unfortunately, I have never understood the difference between K-cups and Pods, so they can't be used on our machine. Lesson learned. My bad, not Starbucks'.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a refreshing high quality coffee. It's the first French roast I've ever tried. It's smooth fresh taste is delicious and I love it. Best free sample ever I'll be buying my own now.thanks
