Espresso Roast, Dark Roast, Whole Bean Coffee 200g (Pack of 6)

Excellent beans for a bean-to-cup machine! The flavour is rich, bold, and smooth with just the right balance of strength without being overpowering. It grinds perfectly and consistently delivers a fresh-tasting cup every time. Having it on Subscribe & Save is a real bonus – not only does it guarantee a great price, but it also means we never run short. If you enjoy a reliable, café-quality coffee at home, this is definitely worth it.

This is superb coffee with a characterful flavour that is definitely on the dark side. It carries it off beautifully.

Great coffee 😀

On the more expensive side, but the taste is spot on so worth the extra.

Product review: STARBUCKS Espresso Roast Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 200 g (Pack of 6) I grind beans with Krups grinder and then use coffee with my Melitta LOOK Therm filter coffee machine. I consider myself quite a hobbyist when it comes to coffee (not quite a connoisseur yet) and occasionally I buy beans from local Belfast roasters (SD Bells) but they are quite expensive so not my typical everyday coffee, just special occasions. As grocery prices go ridiculously high (and Sainsbury's increased this Starbucks from already high £3.40 in Dec '22 to £4.40 in Jan '23, so goodbye Sainsbury's) , I am always on the lookout for good coffee at reasonable price. I am truly in love with this Starbucks Dark Roast but I always mix my beans - sometimes with Lavazza and sometimes with other newly discovered brands. And I can always taste the distinctive kick form Starbucks in the finished cup. One last comment for the price: I have added this product to my wishlist when it was priced at £20+ (can't remember exactly) and my recommendation is do NOT buy this if it's priced at more than £18 because it's simply OVERPRICED at that level, nothing to do with quality. Keep it in your wishlist or subscribe to get extra discounts. In the end, it's a lovely coffee full of strength and aroma and I will always come back to it.

As nice as some premium brands good value

I assumed this was probably a gimmick selling some cheap coffee under license using a top brand name, it probably is, but it's a nice rich roast full of flavour, the beans are pretty small compared to others I've tried, and I've no idea what beans are used, but I like it, and that's what counts.

OK, is good. Has a dark smoky taste. It's. Bit expensive For my daily grind. It's lovely, but before I commit to it as my bespoke, I need to try more.
