STARBUCKS Espresso Roast, Dark Roast, Whole Bean Coffee 450g (Pack of 4)

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.

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.

As nice as some premium brands good value

Have had this on subscription for nearly a year with 6 deliveries in that time, have loved the coffee with its smooth dark roast flavour (it’s a real favourite). The issue is that for 10 months the price has been a static £23 per delivery of 6, out of nowhere the price for the next delivery has shot up to £36! Not sure how this is justified, a pack of 250g of coffee doesn’t just go up overnight by £2. I will source elsewhere and hopefully will continue to drink this great blend, just not at this price! A footnote to this review is that the price is now at £52 for 6 which is 130% price rise in 2 months.

I really liked it, good quality

Sehr kräftig, sehr lecker. Wenn auch völlig überteuert. Die dunklen, öligen Bohnen riechen manchmal leicht angebrannt, aber der Geschmack ist klasse, wenn man gerne starken, würzigen Kaffee oder Espresso trinkt. Bis jetzt wurden wir immer für unseren außerordentlich leckeren Kaffee gelobt, dass heißt, der Geschmack fällt tatsächlich positiv auf und unterscheidet sich deutlich von den normalen Supermarktkaffees. Unsere Kaffeemaschine hat auch keine Problem mit der Zubereitung, also kein verklebtes Mahlwerk, keine Steine usw. Einzig, dass das Produkt in Deutschland von Nestlé vertreiben wird, stört uns, mangels vergleichbarer Alternativen nehmen wir das aber in Kauf und schämen uns (ein wenig) dafür.

Starbucks Dark Roast to dla mnie kawa absolutnie wyjątkowa. Intensywna, mocno palona, z wyraźnym charakterem – dokładnie taka, jakiej oczekuję od porządnej filiżanki kawy. Jej smak jest głęboki i pełny, z nutami gorzkiej czekolady i karmelizowanego cukru. To nie jest kawa dla osób szukających delikatnych, owocowych nut – to kawa dla tych, którzy naprawdę chcą poczuć moc i wyrazistość. Na tle innych mieszanek Starbucks i kaw dostępnych w popularnych sklepach, Dark Roast wyróżnia się zdecydowanie. Dla mnie jest najlepsza – wszystkie inne wydają się zbyt płaskie, rozwodnione albo po prostu nijakie. Dark Roast daje mi to, czego potrzebuję: mocne pobudzenie i smak, którego nie trzeba „ratować” dodatkami. Jeśli ktoś szuka prawdziwie mocnej, klasycznej kawy, która nie boi się intensywności, Starbucks Dark Roast jest świetnym wyborem.

Super lekkere pittige koffie. Ideaal voor expressomachine

Have been ordering this for months and the last order I received wast tasting slightly off. Just checked the date and realised all bags were best before November 2025, so almost 3 months prior.
