I have been buying Starbuck's French Roast Dark Roast K-cup pods for as long as they've been making this flavor. About a month ago, the graphics on their French Roast Dark Roast package changed (or maybe this new package just came to my area). I'm all about updating graphics, so I didn't think anything about it until I drank my 1st cup of coffee out of this new package. This coffee is not the same. Not even close. I looked on the box and the new graphics state notes of dark caramel & sweet smoke. This is not the original FRDR recipe. The original FRDR is intense & smoky. They have definitely changed something to make this coffee sweeter and leave a bitter taste in your mouth. The original FRDR that I've been drinking forever was not sweet and never left a bitter taste on the tongue. I like a good strong cup of coffee and the original Starbucks FRDR has given me that consistently every morning, never failing... until now. Hate to say it, but I will now be shopping around for a new dark roast coffee. This is a real bummer for me. If you just want a consistent, deep rich coffee to wake up to every day, I do not recommend this new Starbucks French Roast Dark Roast at.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The French Roast Ground is the first Starbucks coffee that my family likes. Every one we've tried before has tasted bitter and/or burnt. This one is smooth, robust, strong, and enjoyable. We have been drinking several cups daily all week.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love waking up to the smell of fresh coffee. Its a disappointment when you can’t smell it. Well this coffee you can smell. Its radiates through my home. Its brews so smoothly and the taste is perfection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an everyday coffee drinker I love trying new flavors. This one is pretty good for a k-cup. I usually drink darker roasts of coffee so this one works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was disappointed that there were not choices for the 50 packs as there have been in the past, but I saw a couple 48 packs and ordered. to my surprise I received them in 8 and 12 pack increments - this doesn't suit my needs as I was planning on giving the 48 packs as gifts. not to mention all the wasted packaging!!

I needed some cups and just bought this My Wife and I just got a mini-Keurig for our R/V to replace an older coffee maker. We got some French Roast. I'd have to say it is exceptionally delicious. Very robust flavor and exactly strong enough for a good wake-up cup.

This is my favorite Starbucks VIA flavor. I wish you would carry it in the stores so I would not have to order via the Internet. I always have one when I am feeling especially good. It really puts me in a good mood for the day. One final comment - stock in your stores!!!!! :-)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love having a fresh cup of coffee everyday. However when it came to going to get the coffee my husband decided we needed to wheel our budget in so we decided to try this route and let me tell you this did not disappoint! It taste just the same as going to the store and was much better for my budget! I highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full rich smoky flavor and low acid is what is best about a French Roast. Dark, robust, and that heavenly fragrance. I love trying things from new small vendors, but gosh darn it when you just want something you know is going to turn out great every time it is Starbucks all the way. They have thousands of locations for a very good reason!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great coffee blend and very tasty! I love the ease of these k-cups which quickly help me to brew a delicious cup of coffee. I would recommend anyone who like Starbucks coffee roasts to try these.
