This is one of the two coffees my husband uses along with French Roast (yes, at the same time). He likes really strong coffee and then flavors it with cocoa, heavy cream and caramel. He is very set in his ways and I was able to switch him to Starbucks brand coffee beans, no problem.

I love my Verissimo system and use the Espresso pods frequently. I ordered a large pack during a promotional offer so I could get the savings. However, when I received the product, it expires in February, which only gives me 2 months to get through all of it. It would be helpful if the expiration date was called out in the product details, as my savings may be lost if the product goes bad before it can all be used.

While I am not a coffee lover, a shot of Starbucks Espresso relieves my Migraines when I have them. Given my use of the product I have little interest in the flavor, etc. although when drunk straight it does seem a bit bitter or astringent in comparison to 100% Kona, which does not produce the same pain relief.

We love all of the verissimo pods, but especially like the espresso versions. My only complaint is, for some reason many of the pods popped open so the grounds came out into the cup, which ruined it. Considering it's about $1/cup, we were disappointed by this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Expresso Roast is now my go to coffee. To begin, I’ve been looking for a coffee that’s strong and gives me a pick me up. This coffee does that. It has a nice taste and is enjoyable. It has a pleasant smell. Can be enjoyed with friends in the afternoon and/or after dinner. I would recommend the coffee to friends who are looking for a rich dark coffee. Thank you for the free sample.

It is a quality coffee that you’ve come to expect from this reputable brand. I’d highly recommend to others. #freesample

I love this expresso with my iced lattes. I always make a double or triple shot iced latte using either vanilla, caramel or Irish cream syrup. The best I have ever had. And I have had a lot of them. Love it. The Kenya expresso pods work great too. ✌️

I order coffee for my office of about 100 ppl, they complained so much about how bitter another coffee is so I decided to go out to a Starbuck's store and purchased your Espresso Roast, among others and they liked it so much I ordered more online. Looks like I'll be doing that more often. Thanks for saving me from the coffee nuts here in the office. Regards, J Robinson

This like most all Starbucks products is a class above the rest. I purchased it in the bulk form. It is considerably cheaper that way. For what it is worth I do three pulls per serving on each espresso pod. The coffee taste is still plenty strong for my tastes.
