This Espresso Roast will not disappoint

We’ve been a big fan of Starbucks Verona for many years, but it is no longer being carried at our local Sam’s club. We appreciated this version in ground form. We decided to try the Espresso whole bean and were blown away with the deep, smooth, non-acidic taste of this coffee. It’s a little more hassle, but possibly fresher tasting with grinding the beans before brewing. We have a new favorite!

Love it and happy it's back in the club!.

I make lattes with shots of espresso a couple of times a day and this is my favorite espresso bean. I've tried other brands but this is the best. I was disappointed when Sam's stopped carrying it in the club and it could only be purchased online. I was excited to see it back in the club again! I hope you will continue keeping it stocked for your members.

Starbucks Espresso Beans

Love the Starbucks Espresso Beans in 40 ounce bag. I used to buy it in stores but now it's only available online with a shipping charge of $8. Please, Please Please Sam's Club make this great product available in stores again.

The Best Beans

My favorite coffee beans to buy the last 5 years or so. The combination of white chocolate sauce by Fontana, steamed milk, and two espresso shots of this coffee is like heaven in your mouth. Highly recommend to the mocha lovers out there

Fresh Beans, Rich in Oils, Aroma, and Flavor

My Wife and I really look forward to a smooth-flavorful cup of coffee every morning. We go to great lengths to achieve this objective by keeping the coffee beans sealed in "no air" containers, using filtered chlorine-free water, and a burr grinder to prepare the coffee immediately prior to starting the brewing process. We admit it, we are coffee snobs, so when I comment on the Starbucks Espresso Roast whole coffee beans, you can bet we know the difference between exceptional beans and the overwhelming "wanna-be fresh beans" sold in stores and online. The Starbucks Espresso whole beans are consistently drenched with oils and rich in flavor-packed aroma. An exceptional cup of coffee requires three components; fresh well-roasted coffee beans, filtered chlorine-free water, and a burr grinder to provide perfect grind that matches the user brewing method (French Press, espresso maker, or drip coffee maker) that delivers water to the beans at precisely the correct rate and temperature. The Espresso Roast whole beans are everything we want to make our coffee and we appreciate the consistent supply by Sam's Club and the outstanding value. These beans make a superior cup of coffee every time, period. The way we look at it is simple, without starting with exceptional coffee there is no chance of enjoying a truly delicious cup of coffee. So however you make your coffee, starting with these beans will always give you the opportunity to enjoy the coffee however it is made. Thank you Sam's for providing this product and thank you Starbucks for harvesting, roasting, and delivery of a stellar product. Five stars...

Excellent Coffee for making Latte's

Ordered this Starbuck's Espresso on line and it was shipped to my door within a few days. Excellent Coffee for making Latte's. I use the whole beans in my Espresso machine. Would buy again online from Sams. Excellent coffee, Shipped fast, and at a fair price made this an excellent purchase.

Excellent fresh ground coffee every time

I'm so glad that I finally bought a bag of coffee beans for my husband. He loves coffee and I love to surprise him by trying new brands and specialty roast. I have been wanting for some time to purchase a bean grinder, along with a higher quality coffee maker. Thanks to Sam's advertisements and seen the Starbucks Espresso roast whole bean 40 oz and it was $4 off its normal price which was an excellent deal. Because of that I now have better coffee I knew coffee pot and a coffee grinder I won't ever go back to ground coffee again I'll keep it fresh thank you Sam's I bought a few bags of the Starbucks and he loves them all know is worth every penny

Keep offering it please!

Whole bean Espresso, Italian roast and Sumatra are the best! Say what you will, but Starbucks is great coffee. Best out there... Free Shipping for Plus is why I get a Sams Plus membership.

Great buy when it is on sale

This is our alternate whole bean coffee when the Columbian is sold out. It is not as smooth as the Columbian, but still has great flavor.

Did not expect

The coffee contains far too much fine powder instead of actual beans, which affects both quality and taste. I did not expect this level of inconsistency from Starbucks.
