Overall, I would have given this a 3.5 if I could have. I realize espresso is strong, however, I've also had smooth espresso, which if that is your preference, then this is not your drink. It's perfect in a latte if you add a touch of sweetness.

I love these pods. I make my caramel macchiato's at home and they taste just like the store! The only thing is I wish they were a little more affordable as this is a once in a while luxury vs. an everyday staple.

Espresso is my all time favorite made at home. I start with a milk pod but then hit the button for a full cup instead of the shot. To me it tastes perfect, and that's what counts...

I use this with my cup of coffee every morning. Delicious. But, giving 4 stars instead of 5 because my package arrived with ants all over it. None got inside, so I rinsed them off and got rid of that box asap.

I really like the Espresso Roast beans and as much how they are ground at my local store. Having the beans shipped and then taking them in for grinding is a great way for me to do it. Thanks.

I use this bean in a self-grinding espresso machine. I am a fan of this roast. The others, being fruity, citrus noted, etc, don't suit me. I like the caramel, warm notes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favorite ground coffee yet. It is rich and dark but not bitter. The flavor is decadent but not overpowering. I will definitely be using this in the future as well! #freesample

This is my favorite coffee. It is rich, bold and dark with a very smooth finish. The only negative about it is that I love it so much, I have noticed I have been drinking a lot more coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #freesample The Starbucks Espresso Roast Ground Coffee is so good. It gives you the boost you need to start your day. You should try it.

I had the Keurig Rivo espresso maker before but the espresso just wasn't the same. This espresso is absolutely amazing, but of course I can never make anything just like the store.
