Starbucks Ground Coffee, Dark Roast Hot or Iced Coffee, Caffè Verona, 28 oz

Best coffee ever. Smooth dark chocolate silkiness, and faint notes of dark brown sugar. No wonder that it's always sold out at my grocery store!

I’ve been drinking this as my morning coffee and it’s honestly great if you like a strong, dark roast that isn’t overly bitter. What I liked: •It’s super rich and smooth, with a nice hint of cocoa flavor. It gives you that strong coffee kick without tasting like it was burnt. •The bag showed up completely sealed up tight, and it smelled incredibly fresh as soon as I opened it. •It brews perfectly in my standard coffee maker without leaving a bunch of sludge at the bottom of the pot. Just a heads up: •This is definitely a heavy, bold dark roast. If you usually prefer lighter or milder coffees, this one might be a bit too strong for you.

Except for Cuban and Lavazza's Qualita Rossa and Crema E Gusto, I almost always buy beans over pre-ground...and agree with all the reasons why grinding fresh is superior to buying pre-ground. However, when I stumbled on this listing of $11 for 28 ounces (only 40¢/oz) of my favorite SB blend, I had to give this pre-ground a shot. Say what you want, but I'm unapologetically a Starbucks fan, especially of their single origin Sumatran and Verona blend. But I don't buy SB often as Lavazza's lineup is consistently good and more economical. SB's Grind Size: Medium-course is their "universal grind" that they use in stores for their standard drip coffee and store-bought pre-ground coffee. Too course for most of my uses, but I vacuum packed 1/3 in a mason jar for my French press when I have guests, and re-ground the rest to medium-fine (7 steps from finest on my Capresso), about the look and feel of sand. I put a week's supply in an air displacement cannister for daily use and the rest vacuum packed. What a big difference the re-grinding made for my moka pot, Aeropress, and (cough) Keurig. The re-grinding seems to release more oils, giving a good balance of the acid, sweet, and bitter components in the extraction. I'm just a hobbyist without the gourmet palate of some coffee snobs, but after re-grinding, this "cheaper-than-Folgers" coffee makes me excellent shots of near-espresso and thoroughly satisfying cups of flavorful coffee...what more can a coffee hobbyist ask for? I received my bag about 5 months before the BB date, a non-issue with my vacuum storage...but this bag will be history long before that date. I plan to order three more bags before prices go up. My mason jar vacuum sealer will be working overtime as I'll immediately repack all three bags to slow down the oxidation. ツ *60-80% cheaper than the $1+/ounce Folgers Black Silk that I tried in the past...cheaper but much better.

Great coffee. Good bargain.

The Starbuck's Coffee as always os delicious?

The Verona coffee blend is really out of this world. Rich, smooth and smells heavenly too.

Excellent bowl taste and also good to mix with a milder blend. My wife likes this mixed with pikes and it’s really a nice edge for morning and mid morning coffee.

Good flavor coffee

¡Mi café favorito!

Café tal cual como si lo comprara en una sucursal y en mayor cantidad

Barato, buen sabor pero el producto caduca en Septiembre, un mes despues de recibirlo. Muy mal por el vendedor
