Our take on the Starbucks Espresso Roast Whole Bean Coffee, Dark Roast Hot or Iced Coffee, 18 oz Bag

Starbucks Espresso Roast is a dark, multi-region blend first created in 1975 and still used as the base for espresso drinks in Starbucks stores. It is roasted for espresso machines but works in a moka pot, Aeropress or drip brewer, and holds up well under milk. Reviewers like the molasses and caramelly sweetness and the consistent, familiar flavor; some find it too dark and bitter for drinking black. It is a solid everyday dark roast rather than a single-origin specialty bean.

Questions and answers

Is this the same espresso as in Starbucks stores?
It is the same blend Starbucks uses as the base for its espresso drinks, sold as whole bean. Home results depend on your grinder, dose and machine.
Can I use it in a drip coffee maker?
Yes. It is a dark roast, so it brews a strong, bold cup in a drip machine. Use a slightly coarser grind than for espresso.
Do I need an espresso machine?
No. It works in a moka pot, Aeropress, French press or drip brewer. An espresso machine gives the intended result.
Is it good with milk?
Yes. The dark roast and caramel sweetness come through in lattes and cappuccinos. Many owners buy it for that reason.
How should I store the beans?
Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat. Whole bean stays fresher longer than ground, so grind just before brewing.
Is it vegetarian?
Yes. It is plain roasted coffee with no added flavoring or animal ingredients.
