I Love the Espresso made in-store, especially the strength of it! That being said, I expected to find the same strength and boldness from this pod as it claims to be the same blend...it's not- much more mild.

Great as a fine ground and tamped double espresso. I prefer my coffee black and this blend, to me, is best made with my trusty aeropress..it delivers a smooth, slightly sweet cup with just the right amount of bitter bite.

I made my first cup and cleaned the machine, packed it back up and sent it back. I thought the coffee was weak even though I used two pods. I thought it was like espresso. I will be looking for and espresso machine.

I buy this for home and when I'm at a store (an Americano, for me a tall with three shots). That way I always get fresh Starbucks bean espresso the way I like it.

I can only drink decaf coffee. Your Espresso Decaf is excellent! You would never know it was a decaf blend because of it’s strong flavor. Most decaf’s taste like water in a restaurant.

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!

As good or better than shots in the store. Consistently good. Buy the 96 pack. Better savings and you will use them!! I have had the shots hot, cold, and mixed with flavors. All great!!

I have used this whole bean coffee for several years and it is always perfect. We will order it as long as we have this espresso maker! Perfect cup every time.

We only drink this coffee in the morning one or 2 cups and at night 1 cup. Is very good. We move to Minnesota and our relatives also beginning to like this coffee........................

I'm not a fan of plain coffee, but when it comes to espresso and lattes I'm all in. The bitter taste with a sweet hint is a perfect pick me up morning noon or night and even better made into a wonderful latte
