I only write these things when I like something or get something in return. For this review, it's consistent with me always receiving a perfect cup of Espresso Roast coffee every morning and not having to worry about the taste. Thanks Starbucks. P.S. My number one coffee is Jake's Blend.

I purchased the Verissmo with the hope that I could enjoy starbuck latte's at home - unfortunately the milk pods for the verissmo aren't that great. The good news is that the expresso is great and you can just buy one of those frothing pitchers and use fresh milk/ or half and half and feel like you are in starbucks. Of course, I could also have saved a small fortune on the machine and just used any other single cup brewer that uses starbucks expresso.

I use the pods either for espresso longo-based cappuccino (with Nespresso frother) or 6-7 ounce taller brew to which I add a half ounce of half-and-half. The flavor and body is so much better than any Keurig coffee. I like that I can control the amount of coffee and brew according to what I'm in the mood for.

Having recently moved to an area that does not have a Starbuck''s store was devestating! The opportunity to order it online and have it delivered has been a lifesaver! Espresso Roast is our favorite blend and it arrived fresh and as wonderful tasting as ever.

I am one of those people that NEEDS coffee to get me going...like before I leave the house. Unfortunately, that means I must make my first cup of espresso myself. :( When I discovered Starbucks Espresso Roast I finally found a super fresh roasted flavor that is deep and rich with something like carmel flavor. Every bag makes the same great cup of espresso! I have tried fresh roasted from local places and they just don't compare in consistency and quality. The only downside is that it does not come complete with a barista and I have to clean and refill my machine with water and make the puck of espresso, but, I can live with that.

Been using them and the ground coffee for years. I have a difficult time finding espresso reg. and decaf at stores. I am unhappy with that. There are four stores reasonably near me and only the new store had any in stock. If this is being discontinued, I would like to know do I can buy a Keurig and be ready to switch.

They did a fantastic job with this roast. I'm sure the roast is computerized, but one thing is clear - no matter when, where or how you obtain it, it will ALWAYS give you the same blow-out flavor that you expect. You can't say that about ANY of the other coffees available on this site (with the possible exception of French Roast, or a dark-roast Hawaiian which doesn't exist here). It's not too dark, it's not too blonde, it's full of flavor, it still contains most of its molasses and sugars, has a very slight taste of overcook (good), withstands heat/overtemp water very well, and is even good when it cools off 3 hrs later. IMHO this is the stuff that made SB what it is today - this is a staple and should be on your shelf just for reverence

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Starbucks Espresso Roast ground coffee is probably one of the best varieties we have tried. We are a household that loves a rich, dark roast to wake us up each morning, and this makes a serious cup to help get you going. It has hints of molasses and caramelized sugar, and I found that I only needed one packet of Stevia with a splash of cream to create my daily fuel. I normally make a sweeter drink, but I found with the sweet notes I didn't need to add much. I already love the Starbucks brand, and this ground coffee variety will definitely be a staple for our mornings. #ad #freesample

I love this coffee. I bought it 4times during 5month. But the order in this time was terrible. 1. shipping date for14days(They were not any notice to me.) 2. Star bonus : Ordinary this coffee(2pack, 192pod) is earning16 stars, but they gave only 10stars. My 6 stars was missing. This purchase is so bad...

I do a pour-over for practically all my coffee. 19 grams of hand-ground coffee, 360 grams of filtered water, and pour it in concentric circles at 195 degrees within 105 seconds of brewing time. I bought the Espresso for a stove-top express device. But I used it for my pour-over and was pleasantly surprised. It is a dark roast for sure, but it has a bouquet and taste that is surprisingly complex.
