Our take on the Starbucks Espresso Roast K-Cup Coffee Pods

Starbucks Espresso Roast K-Cup pods bring the chain's long-running dark roast blend home in single-serve form. It is a multi-region blend first created in 1975, roasted dark for notes of molasses and caramelly sweetness, and it is the same roast Starbucks uses as the base for its espresso drinks. It suits people who want a bold, syrupy cup from a Keurig brewer, hot or over ice, and who take it black or with milk. Against other dark-roast K-Cups it is fuller and sweeter than most breakfast-style pods, though shoppers who prefer bright, fruity or light roasts will find it heavy.

Questions and answers

Is this the same coffee Starbucks uses for its espresso drinks?
Yes. Espresso Roast is the multi-region blend Starbucks has used since 1975 as the base for its handcrafted espresso drinks. The K-Cup version is the same dark roast, brewed through a Keurig rather than an espresso machine.
How does it taste black versus with milk?
Black, it is a bold dark roast with molasses and caramelly sweetness and a firm bitter edge. With milk it softens into a smooth, sweet latte-style cup, which is how most reviewers prefer it.
Can I make iced coffee or a latte with these pods?
Yes. Brew a pod over ice for iced coffee, or brew a stronger, smaller cup and pour it over cold milk for an iced latte. A Keurig will not produce true espresso pressure, so the result is coffee-strength, not a real shot.
How many pods come in a box?
Each box holds 22 K-Cup pods of the Espresso Roast dark roast, sized for single-serve Keurig brewers.
Is it compatible with all Keurig brewers?
It is a standard K-Cup pod and works in Keurig brewers that accept K-Cups, including most current models. It will not fit brewers that only take other pod formats.
How does it compare with Starbucks House Blend pods?
Espresso Roast is darker, heavier and sweeter, built for milk drinks. House Blend is a medium roast that is lighter and more balanced, a better pick if you drink your coffee black.
Where is the Starbucks Espresso Roast K-Cup Coffee Pods cheapest?
At Walmart, for $16.97, as of our latest check.
