Overview
Starbucks Espresso Roast is a dark roast whole bean coffee made from 100% Arabica beans, sold in an 18 oz bag and built around the flavor profile Starbucks uses for its cafe espresso drinks.
This is a whole bean bag, so a grinder is part of the setup whether the goal is a moka pot, an espresso machine, a French press or a drip brewer. Starbucks describes the flavor as rich molasses and caramel notes typical of its dark roast espresso blend, and the beans are the same ones used in its stores.
