Ground Coffee, Dark Roast Coffee, Italian Roast, 100% Arabica, 1 bag (18 oz)

I’ve tried a lot of dark roast coffees over the years, but this one keeps making its way back into my cart. If you like a strong, bold coffee without it being bitter or burnt-tasting, you’ll probably love this. The aroma alone when you open the bag is worth it—it smells like a coffee shop in my kitchen every morning. I brew mine in a French press or occasionally in my drip coffee maker, and both methods bring out that deep, rich flavor. The grind is perfect for multiple brewing styles, which is a plus if you like to switch things up. It’s smooth enough to drink black but also holds up beautifully if you add milk or flavored creamers. It’s not the cheapest coffee, but the quality makes it worth the price, especially if you’re trying to save money by making coffee at home instead of buying daily lattes.

love that french roast......a bit acidic but I like that

This is an update from the initial review. The 'product' continues to rate five stars for 'quality.' The value for price; however, has changed. The price @ just over $23 for the three 12 oz packages was reasonable and brought the bottom line price per pound to just over $10.50! The current price of $32.99 is nearing the obscene zone, bringing the per pound price to nearly $15! Left to me, at that price, Starbucks, or whomever is selling it at that price, will have to use it for fertilizer....I would direct you to the merchant we currently purchase this product from; however, if too many go there, they might experience the same desire for more profit? A favorite coffee that we have been drinking for years. A full bodied coffee without bitterness. Would prefer packaging in 16 ounce size.

I've been a dark roast enthusiast for years, and this Starbucks Italian Roast has officially become my everyday coffee. From the moment I opened the bag, the aroma was incredible – you can immediately tell this is quality coffee. Flavor Profile: The tasting notes of dark cocoa and toasted marshmallow are spot-on. It has that deep, bold intensity you want from a dark roast, but with a surprising sweetness that keeps it smooth rather than bitter. It's slightly darker than regular Espresso Roast but doesn't have the smoky, burnt edge that some French roasts can have. It's that perfect middle ground for dark roast lovers. Quality & Freshness: Being 100% Arabica beans sourced from Latin America and Asia-Pacific, you're getting premium coffee at a reasonable price. The FlavorLock packaging keeps it fresh, and every cup tastes as good as the first. It's the same quality Starbucks serves in their cafés. Versatility: I've used this in my drip brewer, French press, and moka pot – it performs beautifully in all of them. The grind is consistent and ideal for multiple brewing methods. Value: The 18 oz bag lasts a good while and the price point is excellent for the quality you're getting. Much cheaper than daily coffee shop runs! Bonus: Love that Starbucks is committed to 100% ethical sourcing with Conservation International. Great coffee I can feel good about drinking. If you love a bold, full-bodied dark roast without harsh bitterness, this Italian Roast delivers. Highly recommend!

Rich dark roast flavor without the caffeine.
