Why Starbucks? Why? Starbucks French Roast has been my favorite at home drip coffee for over 10 years. And then all of a sudden it tastes different. Gone is the Smokey flavor I would sip on and enjoy in the morning. Now it’s too sweet, too light, almost watered down. It’s not my machine, the last two bags of Starbucks have been horrible and I brewed my mom’s favorite one day on my machine and it was just fine. Why change a good thing?? If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it! I feel like I paid premium coffee price for a store brand knock off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Obsessed with the taste !! This coffee wakes me up wide before I try some other brands but couldn’t satisfy my cravings so I get to try this brand and that's it. I got this amazing coffee that fully fills my needs and enhances my taste…. When you open it, it is THE most intoxicating dark black finely ground bag of pure intergalactic ecstasy!I get a better brew with these grounds and a reusable k-cup, and save a ton of money. Starbucks is a great and famous brand. If this is what you like then this is what you buy. You get what you pay for. This is my style of coffee love every single sip of this heavenly coffee… With tasting notes of dark cocoa and roasty sweet, Caffe Verona is a full-bodied blend of Latin American and Asia/Pacific coffees with the sweet touch of Italian Roast. Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors. My husband, me and my kids are fans of it. Go for It you will not regret.

This coffee is roasted to the point it smells burnt and that all the oils from the coffee beans have seeped out giving it a greasy look. I tried to add extra water in my chemex to make it not as strong but no use. Tried it for cold brew but still no luck. Just had to throw it out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This flavor is amazing! I love the flavor of starbucks coffee and was happy to be able to save some money making my own at home! These taste just like you would imagine a hot starbucks coffee tasting and a great addition to my morning routine

This coffee is absolutely horrible. I had been drinking French Roast for a long time and just tried my last K cup (brown box) and then made a cup w/new green box. OMG, I can't describe the taste but something like burnt, pungent and bitter. I'm so disappointed and hoping I can return my box of coffee to the grocery store.

Love the new Liliac packaging and the robust flavor! I have drinking Via Italian Roast for a few years now and thought I'd try the French...I am sold. I travel a lot and I hate hotel in room coffee. This is a perfect alternative and a great at home easy one cuppa joe. Thanks! Love it!

I suppose the coffee is OK, but the problem with my order of 10 bags for Christmas gifts is a problem. The bags of whole bean coffee are very hard, caked like old coffee, wrinkled, and just a mess. I cannot use those as gifts now, as they look like they were throwaway items,so I cannot give a pleasing review.

This is a deliciously intense blend. Bold and smoky. I prefer a grind on the fine side of medium and fresh ground every cup. Definitely best to use a French Press with water around 200 degrees and brew 3 minutes before depressing the plunder and pouring. I prefer to use 3 tablespoons per 10 ounces. I have found that this brewing method yields a perfect cup of Starbucks French Roast with zero bitterness. Once again, delicious blend and perfect roasting. Keep up the great work Starbucks.

My husband and I love Starbucks French Roast coffee. After grinding each day the aroma fills the kitchen with such a pleasant smell, and it is by far our favorite coffee. It has a bold, rich flavor with no bitterness. At Christmas we will get the Christmas blend to try, but the French Roast is our all year favorite.

I sent my sister several different Starbucks coffees as a gift and she liked them all. Her favorite was the French Roast which was the boldest of the three bags I sent her. She LOVED the rich flavor! I have already made a note to send her more in the future.
