Thank you @influenster and @starbucksuk @starbucks for giving me the opportunity to try out your coffee for free in return for an honest review. First of all I just want to say, the coffee grinder was not part of this, I do not want to give people the wrong impression. Now to the coffee. Its been a little over 4 weeks of me drinking it (had to make sure I had a good feel for the coffee before talking about it). This specific coffee bean is called "blonde expresso roast". If you are looking for a smooth, un dry coffee bean then this is most certainly for you. It has just the right amount of flavour. For me, I used about half of the tray of ground coffee and it was the perfect amount. One of the great things I found after drinking this coffee was that I didn't have ... MoreThank you @influenster and @starbucksuk @starbucks for giving me the opportunity to try out your coffee for free in return for an honest review.

I can 100% say that I WILL be buying this in the future. It is #magnifico 😗🤌 On a side note, I think this is the first coffee bean bag that has also kept the beans perfect and where the little silver tabs havnt snapped!! #starbucks #starbuckscoffee #coffeebeans #Influenster #influensterreview #influensteruk #review #productreview

I love the fact that, Starbucks has turned out to be in almost every High Street local place park, airport, public destination, almost everywhere. They even go as far to be able to buy some ready made colder options in shops and gas stations. The product itself is spot-on, and just to add a.little excitement, they offer oth hot and cold with the flavouring and the options that they have to offer, Caramel, mocha etc. Buying the coffee is extra quick. One tap of your card and you have your coffee in your hand, on your way to that meeting or just having a break. The shops themselves offer handmade sandwiches, cakes, croissant‘s, Buns. These are always fresh on the day. The products have been extended to places like local petrol station shops, easier locations, with a ... MoreI love the fact that, Starbucks has turned out to be in almost every High Street local place park, airport, public destination, almost everywhere.

These are always fresh on the day. The products have been extended to places like local petrol station shops, easier locations, with a name becoming soon ominous with good tasty fresh coffee.The beans are fresh and bursting with flavour, as can be smelt whilst preparing. You can actually buy bags of the Starbucks variety beans, so that you can prepare at home on your coffee maker. I think they come in pods to, to make it a little easier. Starbucks also has the cold version (Frappe) which is a hit in both summer and winter. One of my favourites is the coffee with Caramel and Cream (Frappe). They sell seasonal flavours, summer fruity flavours. This starts the season with a bang well into the summer. This added to the collection is an alternative cold variety of a refreshing ice cold drink.

Amazing

Used with the Philips 5000 series automatic machine medium grinding is great, I think one of the best we have ever used among the more than 40 mixtures or more tried over time, we were amazed, because it turns out balanced in all aspects and despite being Arabica does not have that tip of acidulò which is annoying to many.The beans as you can see from the attached photo, are large and almost all of the same size (few even the broken or broken ones) the roasting is very strong typical of the Nordic countries, but made in a way excellent and not hasty, so that it does not have any hints of burning or bitter, on the contrary it is sweetly caramelized.The grains are very, greasy almost to leave residue in the bag and on the hands, this is good, because it means that ... MoreUsed with the Philips 5000 series automatic machine medium grinding is great, I think one of the best we have ever used among the more than 40 mixtures or more tried over time, we were amazed, because it turns out balanced in all aspects and despite being Arabica does not have that tip of acidulò which is annoying to many.The beans as you can see from the attached photo, are large and almost all of the same size (few even the broken or broken ones) the roasting is very strong typical of the Nordic countries, but made in a way excellent and not hasty, so that it does not have any hints of burning or bitter, on the contrary it is sweetly caramelized.The grains are very, greasy almost to leave residue in the bag and on the hands, this is good, because it means that they have used fine and above all recent grains and that also packaging and deployment were quick. The 200 gram packs are great because there is no coffee left around for too long and therefore every time you use the product you will always find it at the top without degradation due to the slow oxidation of air and light.Cost comparable to great brands, and it's all selling the product (net of the flavor that may not be loved by everyone since coffee is a very personal thing), which says it's expensive and looking for it to compare to discount or commercial brands, I just say that coffee if it is good is tasted with more pleasure, and therefore better a cup less but a product that satisfies.Also tried in cappucccini and macchiati and I believe that the top this mixture reaches it with latte macchiato, caramelato del, coffee goes perfectly with foamed milk, a sprinkling of cocoa or cinnamon and you'll have the top.

Amazing coffee i ever had

Obsessed with the taste !! This coffee wakes me up wide before I try some other brands but couldn’t satisfy my cravings so I get to try this brand and that's it. I got this amazing coffee that fully fills my needs and enhances my taste….When you open it, it is THE most intoxicating dark black finely ground bag of pure intergalactic ecstasy!I get a better brew with these grounds and a reusable k-cup, and save a ton of money. Starbucks is a great and famous brand. If this is what you like then this is what you buy. You get what you pay for.This is my style of coffee love every single sip of this heavenly coffee…With tasting notes of dark cocoa and roasty sweet, Caffe Verona is a full-bodied blend of Latin American and Asia/Pacific coffees with the sweet touch of ... MoreObsessed with the taste !!

Coffee Tastes BURNT! I'm Dissatisfied. Will Return

Normally, I enjoy this coffee's rich flavor. It's usually smooth with notes of caramel and molasses. Which is why I purchased a big bag of it for $18.00 (the price changed to $19.24 after purchase and/or during checkout). But this particular bag of espresso doesn't taste good. It tastes burnt. Burnt is the best way I can describe the taste. I'm wondering if this is authentic Starbucks coffee or if it's fake burnt coffee thrown into a Starbucks bag. A bad that doesn't have the usual white plastic-covered metal wire on each side to close the bag tightly. This bag only had a single piece of tape. I've never had a Starbucks bag of coffee that didn't include both a single piece of tape and the white plastic-covered wires on each side of the bag.I've tried using less ... MoreNormally, I enjoy this coffee's rich flavor.

It didn't improve. It still had the burnt taste but it was weaker is all. I don't understand how the taste could change this drastically.I will be returning this bad of coffee. I refuse to pay nearly $20 for a bag of coffee that tastes burnt. I will not purchase from this seller again. I'm not saying it's the seller's fault. But I've never experienced burnt coffee from Starbucks before or purchased a bag with missing white closure side tabs.Buyer beware.

Excellent

Makes for a nice and smooth cup of coffee for the mornings. Brilliant for flat whites or cappuccino, two of my favourites milk based drinks. It has a really lovely smooth and mellow flavour profile. Im not particularly a huge fan of dark roasts so these are ideal for me in terms of taste and provides a good kick of caffeine in the mornings to get me started. Im still experimenting around with the machine to get the most out of the beans, they are very easy to work with and each cup has been a delight. Ive even had family members asked me to make them a cup and enjoyed it thoroughly. Very happy with it, would recommend.

Happiness in a cup

I love the Starbucks blonde espresso roast coffee at Starbucks so to be able to take home the whole brand and grind them fresh at home is a very special treat. The Blonde roast is a bold but mellow flavour the is a vibrant, sweet milky side making it smooth without the toasty edge but still packing the pinch of fresh roasted espresso coffee that taste devine. You can use in a coffee machine or a cafeteria to enjoy at home and sit back to relax , sip slowly and enjoy it's devine flavour. Just like I love to do throughout the day. I prefere a nice frothy latté as my go to but have leaned towards a cappuccino to with this roast. I can highly recommend!

Looks burnt, smells burnt, doesn’t brew right.

I’ve been drinking Folgers my entire life and for the past several years, I was drinking their Black Silk, never had an issue. But I decided to try something else, so I bought this and had high hopes! Upon opening the bag, the coffee grounds looked and smelled very burnt.. literally black dust. Unlike other dark roasts which are still a little brown. So we decided to still try it, hoping maybe it was supposed to look and smell that way. But when we brewed the coffee in our BUNN, the water was coming out very light. Almost clear.. so we tried it two more times and watched everything very closely. The problem is the coffee. It doesn’t take water when the pot starts pushing it through the grounds and filter, the grounds just float. As if they’re water resistant. Which ... MoreI’ve been drinking Folgers my entire life and for the past several years, I was drinking their Black Silk, never had an issue.

Which is extremely frustrating considering the bag was $20 and the coffee doesn’t brew! I also probably won’t get a refund because it’s a food product and it’s been opened.. will not be buying Starbucks coffee grounds again.

Rich and dark.

After opening the Starbucks espresso coffee beans, I smelt how rich and dark the roast is on these excellent quality beans. These are so dark, you can see the oil on the surface of every, individual bean. I took out 25 grams and ground these down to a coarse consistency, then took out another 25 grams and ground these to a fine consistency. I tried the coarse first and this tasted very robust and strong, with hints of nut and caramel. After rinsing my mouth with some cool water, I tried the fine ground. This was a more refined flavour, deeper and more like a light treacle type flavour, but still with the nutty/caramel overtone flavour. This coffee left no bitter aftertaste in my mouth. The aroma in my kitchen was amazing and the coffee had everything I expected.

I'd recommend keeping the beans in the bag, which has a handy metallic, bendy clip to keep it closed, this will help keep in the oils and keep the beans fresh. This is definitely a must for coffee lovers.

So smooth and delicious.

I’m obsessed with Starbucks coffee and always grab one when I’m out shopping or during lunch break as theirs is a coffee which is full of flavor and it hits the spot every time.When I saw that Starbucks had their own range in the supermarket, purchasing some to try was a no brainer, I was keen to learn whether it would taste as good as it does from the cafe.Starbucks Blonde Roast Expresso, is in a nutshell supreme! The coffee itself comes as whole beans so you will need to grind it down before use. The aroma is just as you would expect it’s like walking into Starbucks, the expresso is smooth, light, bursting with flavor not at all bitter and it’s not overly strong, it’s a perfect blend.There are a few options to choose from and they are well priced so for me ... MoreI’m obsessed with Starbucks coffee and always grab one when I’m out shopping or during lunch break as theirs is a coffee which is full of flavor and it hits the spot every time.When I saw that Starbucks had their own range in the supermarket, purchasing some to try was a no brainer, I was keen to learn whether it would taste as good as it does from the cafe.Starbucks Blonde Roast Expresso, is in a nutshell supreme!
