Espresso Roast has a delicious, smooth versatility that tastes great as both a shot of espresso and brewed in a coffee press. This is one versatile coffee! It has a dense, caramel-like sweetness with a soft acidity that's delectable. An intense and balanced coffee, it's roasted somewhat darker than traditional Italian espresso. Espresso Roast's spicy aroma will permeate your kitchen and senses.
This remarkable "signature" blend of Latin American and Indonesian coffees was developed in the late 1970's after months of blending and tasting. The blend was chosen with a shot of espresso in mind. The Latin American component gives it soft acidity, the Indonesian imparts depth and some spicy aroma, and the slightly darker roast gives it a caramelly sweetness. All of these attributes are intensified when this blend is used to make espresso.
Starbucks Espresso Roast is quite different from most Italian versions of espresso. It is roasted somewhat darker than traditional Italian espresso and contains higher quality beans.
Finding and purchasing the best green beans in the world is the first step that differentiates Starbucks Coffee from the rest of the coffee industry. Starbucks is well-known for its exceptionally high quality coffees, care in selection, and expertise in roast. Each coffee is selected for the defining qualities that distinguish its origin. This careful selection process illustrates Starbucks passion for buying and roasting the world's best coffee.

by Terje (Bradenton, FL) 1 review The Starbucks expresso beans are the premium choice for our Gaggia Titanium Espresso Machine. Both the looks and the taste of the finished product is excellent with these beans.
by Michael (SAN JOSE, CA) 1 review Consistently strong, non-acidic bold coffee. While I occasionally try other varieties, I always end up back at Espresso Roast. I make extra-strong drip coffee in a cone-filter (1/3rd heaping cups of near espresso grind per 5 cups water)
by Georgia (White Heath, IL) 2 reviews The espresso from starbucks was a good buy for the quality of the bean.I would purchase it again at the same price.
