Beans taste burnt. The coffee has no body- espresso should be thick in body- some of the cause might be the reduction of coffee in each pod (.20 grams).

Still enjoy my pods delivered!!! but every delivery gets longer....9 days this time....hate to give up free shipping but we shall see if timing improves...over a week this time

Makes a nice cup of espresso with the crema on top. Sometimes when I use the pods for lattes I will run the espresso pod through twice and find it acceptable.

We have been using these products for several years. We blend the products and the flavor is perfect. Our guests always compliment our coffee and can't tell that we are blending the beans.

I'm not sure why they changed the material of these pods, but you can't even get a full cup of espresso without it clogging the machine. These pods bust as well. Please bring back the older pods. Why fix/change something that ain't broke?!?!

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

[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.

We use 1/2 Espresso to 1/2 Pike Blend when we make our coffee. Using the grinder and buying whole beans we always have a perfect cup ps coffee. Great Aroma and great taste.

A double espresso using these pods makes my mornings go so much better! It's convenient and easy to make in my espresso machine and the taste is incredible!

This is my husband's #1 favorite. This is a strong rich robust coffee without the bitterness. Would recommend to anyone that loves a strong coffee taste. You always want a second cup!
