Not for Espresso

I am not an aficionado. I do not have a grinder. I am a Starbucks fan. When I recently went back to making my own espresso, I finished off the Starbucks Espresso Roast ground coffee I had. When I bought more - Espresso Roast ground, I quickly discovered this grind is for coffee not espresso. I find the label "GROUND" deceptive but really I am upset I have a relatively expensive bag of coffee I can't use and I apparently can't buy the coffee I need.

LOVE IT GOT TO HAVE MORE OF IT!!!!

Love the $5 gift card with purchase deal, makes me sad i could only purchase 4 at a time. The espresso roast is the best coffee to put in my espresso machine without that bitter taste. I would only like to see the shipping to be a little faster. However it would not stop me from purchasing again.

Oops! Won't Work

I thought the pods would fit any machine. Oops! Won't work with my brand new Anniversary Gift Kuerig machine. Bummer! Oh well unless Starbucks creates a universal espresso roast pod that will work with this brand machine, I'll be forced to purchase their coffee pods in the future. Geez come on Starbucks give in a little.

Terrific

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a dark roast lover, this coffee is delicious! A wonderful robust taste without tasting “burnt” or like “mud”. Deep flavor and wonderful smell. Great for any other dark coffee lovers! #freesample #ad

espresso

Been using this ever since I purchased my Breville semi-automatic. It is consistent and holds up well over ice and as cappuccino or latte base. I do wish Starbucks would create something like Lavazza Super Crema which is a little less bold and gives a good crema.

Starbucks Espresso Roast is Awesome!

Folks just wanted to write a short quibble on the fact that we love this product for our office. It is a go to and I will continue to order this in the future. It keeps our government affairs and researchers doing what they love best. Kindest regards, Maria Cheves Administrative Assistant Public Policy Institute of CA

Use By Dates

I was unhappy to find the 8 boxes all expire 2/17, less than 2 months from receiving them. I called and spoke with someone who didn't answer my questions to my satisfaction. i subsequently went on line and read that coffee can be kept in the freezer for a year, though I really don't have room for 8 boxes of coffee in the freezer.

Love it!!

I was feeling very skeptic about purchasing the espresso pods and making my own drink, but once I made my salted caramel mocha at home I was very happy. Tastes just like my local Starbucks drinks.The espresso pods are wonderful! Everyone that I have made a drink for thus far has loved them!

Pods are exploding in machine

I love the taste of the product, BUT 6 of the 12 pods in the first box exploded in the machine and pass grains into my coffee. I have had such a hard time with customer service online and in store I don't have enough patience to try to call and rectify. Such a bad experience all around. Giving it 2 stars because it does taste good when it works.
