Is Starbucks Sumatra a dark roast?

Yes. It is one of Starbucks' darkest core roasts, sold as a single-origin Sumatran coffee.

How strong is it compared with other K-Cup pods?

It is bolder and heavier than most breakfast blends and light roasts. Brew it on a smaller cup size to keep the body concentrated.

Does it taste earthy?

Yes. Earthy, herbal spice notes are the defining character of Sumatran coffee, and this pod delivers them clearly.

It is lower in acidity than many light and medium roasts, which is why some drinkers with sensitive stomachs prefer it.

Does it work with milk or cream?

Yes. The heavy body holds up to a splash of milk, though the earthy notes are clearest when drunk black.

Are the pods compatible with all Keurig brewers?

They are standard K-Cup pods and fit Keurig brewers that accept K-Cups, including most 1.0 and 2.0 models.

Our take on the Starbucks Sumatra Coffee Keurig K-Cup Pods

Starbucks Sumatra is a dark-roast single-origin coffee in Keurig K-Cup pods. It is brewed for a heavy, full body with earthy aroma, herbal spice notes and a lingering low finish. It suits drinkers who like bold, unsweetened dark coffee and want it in one-cup convenience. Against milder breakfast blends and light roasts, it is noticeably stronger and less acidic; against other dark-roast pods it holds its own on body but offers little nuance for those who prefer brightness.
