The ground coffee, Starbucks ground french, has lost is it rich flavor. Tastes, well has no taste other than a cardboard taste weak taste, even when made stronger. Use to have a distinctive rich smell and taste, full body not water down, I know you will say nothing has changed, but it truly has. It has lost it uniqueness.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not the usual Starbuck product user but I like a dark roast coffee. I used the Starbuck French roast in my espresso machine, and then I made a pot with my regular filtered coffee maker. The flavor turned to be quite different. In my humble opinion, this makes an affordable good espresso, which keeps the delicate caramelized & sweet, aromatic taste that resembles the taste of black licorice. The aroma is very delicate and won't leave you with the bad aftertaste that many ground coffee has. I won't trade the current brand I have been using, but I will consider SBUX French Roast if I ever need a second option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the chance to try the Starbucks French Roast as a #freesample and it was absolutely delicious. It is one of the best French roast coffees that I have tried in a ground form. You can taste all of the notes of caramel and smoke, and you can just tell that the coffee is sourced from wonderful coffee beans. I think of the different Starbucks ground coffees that I’ve tried in the past this one is definitely my favorite. It had been a while since I had purchased this one and when I drank it again, I was kind of disappointed with myself that it had been such a while since I’ve had it because it’s just so good. And I’m someone that adds creamer to their coffee and even with the creamer, you still can taste the bold and richness of the coffee and that’s another reason why I love it.

[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.

even though it was purchased on starbuckstore.com. it's truly inconvenience to bring the empty bags to the store and ask for the free drink. hopefully starbuck understands this and promptly giving out star code for those who couldn't find it from their purchase.

How are you people brewing your KCups? Does it say what the recommended amount of water to use anywhere.Options are varied on K Brewers. Recommend water amount in ration to amount of grinds are stated but not for Kcups. So just make a 16 ounce cup of coffee from a K Cup pod? See.

I have had French Roast before but never in the K-cups. I have to say it is as good as fresh ground without the work of grinding and brewing. I have recently purchased a Keurig machine and only use Starbucks as I am a bit of a snob when it comes to coffee. You will not be disappointed when you buy this........

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice strong coffee. Tastes quality and is effective for a good pick me up. I like that i can make one cup at a time with these k cups. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality decent strength cup of coffee.

Daily I grind the French Roast bean coffee to an extra fine texture and use it in a high pressure Expresso machine. Two cups in the morning and I'm set for the day. The stronger the better; really no down side to this roast but you had better like a robust flavor.
