New pods a bit smaller

I have to agree with the people saying these espresso pods taste like an espresso made from a high end espresso machine. My husband use to go to SB everyday even when I would brew SB at home. After I started using the Verisimo and espresso pods ( strong yet not bitter) he drinks his coffee at home. I did notice a small change in taste with the repackaging of the pods now in the darker box. I compared them to an old box and they do have a smaller amount of coffee than previously. Maybe the change was due to the new machine and I don't have that new machine.

FREE-Espresso Roast Ground Coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Espresso Roast Ground at home coffee in my reusable Keurig pod. The Aroma was wonderful, the look was dark the flavor was robust. It was in all a great cup of coffee made at home. Would Recommend for anyone who likes a darker more bitter coffee. BEST #freesample EVER

Delicious coffer - our favorite variety.

Starbucks Espresso is our favorite variety in the Starbucks line. There are others we enjoy also, but we keep coming back to Expresso. Purchasing it online was convenient and a good buy. The package came swiftly to our door. When I opened the box to find the coffee I ordered, the aroma was so wonderful, I had to take a break and brew some right then!

Close As Possible To Store ICED Espresso Drinks

Part-time barista here. Consistent taste and very similar, but not the same, to store espresso shots. A solid cheap alternative if you're looking to budget your daily Starbucks fix. Really only good for iced espresso drinks unless you have a very nice steamer but at that point you perhaps would also have a very nice full set espresso machine as well. Milk pods for the machine to make hot lattes are... well... let's just say its very clear that you are using powdered milk.

Rich and Robust

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Espresso Roast Ground Coffee is rich and robust. I found this espresso coffee to be smooth and flavorful. Starbucks Espresso Roast Ground Coffee isn’t bitter and doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth. #freesample

great product, but wish my reward account was credited

Love the product. Only wish my reward account would be credited for the purchase. And it said shipping was free with Visa, but it meant Visa checkout. Had I known, I would have spent slightly more for free shipping. Great product, just shopping issues.

Shipped me the wrong coffee

i had originally ordered the Christmas blend espresso roast. I ordered 12 packages, because I enjoy it so much. When I called about receiving the wrong coffee, there was no Christmas blend espresso roast (or any Christmas blend) left. Very disappointing. The regular espresso roast is fine but very different.

Bold and striking to wake you up

Personally this was a little too strong and a bit harsh in the flavor but if you like bold coffee this will give you the boost you need. I paired it with Carmel syrup and a splash of Heavy Cream to soften the intensity and create a sweet and creamy blend. Delicious with a Toffee Doodle Cookie

Not As Strong As I Was Expecting

Espresso should be the strongest coffee; however, this one fell short. I thought that purchasing the beans and grinding them myself would produce a stronger cup of coffee than the powder. Not so. It's still not strong enough. I have to use 3x as many beans as one would for a normal cup to get close to the strong, bold, dark richness of espresso. Starbucks does indeed make the best coffee, but I was expecting more from this one. Starbucks: PLEASE make a true espresso coffee.

Very good Dark roast

I've enjoyed this roast for about the last 5-6 years. It has always been a wonderful Dark full-bodied roast with a hearty aroma. I don't buy it all the time because I like to drink different roasts with different moods and seasons. But when I want that hearty dark cup, this is definitely the one i reach for....also Sumatra too! I once bought a bag of whole beans of this and they were horrible, just once so I chalk that up to a bad roast, and no, they were not out of date.
