Mix 2 pounds espresso beans to 1 pound Sumatra beans in a large bowl. Add 3-4 Tablespoons Cinnamon. Mix well and presto, a blend pretty close to Starbucks Holiday. Really wonderful. Everyone who visits loves the blend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a bag of Starbucks Espresso Roast to sample and this is the first time I've ever had Starbucks. Since I'm a dark roast coffee drinker this was perfect. Love the flavor, nice and rich.

We tried another brand. We thought it was alright. We had times we would pick up refills and as of late it was not dark and glossy. The taste was stale. I came back through your on line membership and have been totally satisfied. It is always fresh!

Love love love these pods!!!! The espresso shot is so smooth and creamy! I was a sbux barista for 5 yrs and it tastes just as good (I think the pods taste better) as a shot in the store.

I've used Starbucks espresso beans for years; something has happened and lately their beans are not as good. I can taste the difference. The quality has gone down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the Starbucks Espresso dark roast coffee. It's smooth and bold. I'll definitely be buying this.

We have used whole bean espresso for about 6 years. Something has changed, the coffee is bitter. Did Starbucks change the coffee supplier? If so, please change back

If you make your drinks as the instructions say, you'll have a drink that tastes 98% like in-store. You don't even need the milk pods to make a great latte or cappuccino, just use a foamer to heat your regular milk.

I purchased the white chocolate mocha set and only received the espresso pods because the white chocolate mocha was back ordered, which I wasn't aware of until I got the pods and didn't get the syrup. :(

Love the pods but we are still not receiving the emails for our stars. It has been several months again since the last time I notified you and we still aren't getting them.
