Espresso Roast - Notes of rich molasses and caramel

Asia-Pacific & Latin America Origin

Quality from Bean to Brew

A moment to savor

A classic and time-honored dark roast with notes of rich molasses and caramel that’s perfect for making classic espresso drinks.

Our Espresso Roast is crafted with beans sourced from multiple regions—Latin America and Asia-Pacific. The blending of beans from varied regions results in unique flavor combinations.

We source 100% arabica beans when crafting our coffee. Each coffee bean requires a unique balance of temperature and time to reach its individual peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor.

More than a drink, a cup of Starbucks coffee is part of your coffee ritual. It's the start to a new day, or a reward at the end of a long one. It's a lazy weekend morning, or a reason to share a moment with friends. Whatever your moment, savor it.

Pour Over

Moka Pot

Drip coffee is a convenient way to make great coffee. With the right grind and pure water, you can brew a fantastic cup in a coffee brewer.

Brewing with a coffee press retains the precious natural oils otherwise absorbed by paper filters, extracting the coffee’s full flavor while giving it a rich consistency.

Pour-over is a beautifully simple and accessible way to brew a single cup of coffee with a clean, fully developed flavor and body.

A stove-top moka pot is a small, simple and affordable way to make a strong coffee that’s remarkably similar to espresso. It may seem intimidating at first, but you’ll be whipping up a strong coffee in no time.

Product Description

Every espresso beverage we handcraft for you begins right here. Our master roasters coax the beans along, the heat taking them deep and dark, for a recipe for caramelly sweetness so right it's never been changed. The quest began in 1975 with a search for the perfect melding of beans and roast, ending months of intense experimentation later with the coffee you're holding in your hand.

Good in the past, now not sure...
I drink Americanos exclusively at home. I’ve had a subscription for 20oz bags of Starbucks whole bean Very Dark roast every three weeks for a couple months now. In the past- great. But recently I changed it to 2 week intervals to keep pace with my addiction to good coffee. Today’s delivery was not what I expected. The package clearly looks different, and the label indicates Dark, not Very Dark roast. Additionally I noticed the code date is a month sooner than last month’s delivery! I have not opened the package yet to see if the roast appears the same & tastes the same, but I’ll update this review if it’s not what I received in the past.
Thank you for your feedback
