STARBUCKSEspresso Roast, Dark Roast, Ground Coffee 200g (Pack of 6)

This coffee is definitely one of my favourites. I will be buying this when I run out. Definitely good quality and the taste is just right.

I have tried coffee from every country and region, spent silly amounts of money on "premium" beans and this is still the best coffee, in my humble opinion of course. Rich and clean, absolute perfection. I primarily drink my coffee black and use it with machines and presses.

Full flavoured nut bitter just great.

This tastes great, I just wish it was a bit more finely ground since it's for espresso machine.I always weigh my espresso precisely on a milligram scale. When I fill 14 grams of this coffee, it's almost impossible to fit the porta filter onto the machine because there's too much coffee even after pressing it . With 13 grams it works fine. Other ground coffee I had before didn't cause this problem, because it was more finely ground, so I could fill the porta filter basket with 14 grams of it.Is there a chance you will grind your coffee a bit more finely any time soon?

I don't tend to drink at Starbucks but whenever I have I've found the dark roast has much more flavour than their blonde roast so thought I'd give this a go. This is one of the best beans I've found at this price point. The subscribe and save option is great too, as I go through it quite quickly!These beans produce a nice crema, although I'd recommend the Lavazza Crema E Aroma if you want an even thicker crema. The Lavazza used to be a similar price but seems to be much more expensive now.

This is my favourite go to coffee now. Great taste, flavor and strength. I've tried the other Starbucks coffee types, but this one stands out as the winner to me. The blonde roast is too smooth for my tastes, and while the house blend is great, I like the intensity of this one best.

I think it must be luck of the draw on how long you have left to use the coffee I ordered in April and it was use by August. To those surprised about the short dates, what were you expecting for over half price? Of course it is short dated. Anyway the date is only a guide and it’s not like fresh milk or fish and you’d probably get another 3 months out of it at least. All in all GREAT value on the coffee that I pay double for in store. Will defo purchase again.

I am assuming that Starbucks have discontinued this product which is why I sourced it from Amazon.The first box of six I ordered was acceptable, though not as good and of the same quality I used to buy at the supermarket, this latest box of six is virtually undrinkable. Even though the best before date is 24.2.25 it is way past acceptability.I won't be buying anymore from Amazon, so I probably have to look for an alternative brand.
