We had a subscription for coffee and had not used it for some time due to the subscription being "broken". We would just order routinely when needed. We decided to reactivate our subscription but it appears that the service is still broken, so i had to call and find out what's up. The service person gave me a discount and shipped the coffee overnight at no charge, making me an extremely happy camper! I sincerely hope that the subscription is now fixed so we may get our coffee without worries!
Yes, I recommend this product.

This coffee is very close to that of the Espresso roast, and just as customizable. I can enjoy it black with sugar or sugar and creme. Add a pump or two of hazelnut syrup.

Starbucks Italian Roast has long been our favorite coffee. Over the years we have tried everything. For our taste, nothing compares. It is the perfect balance.
Local stores have stopped carrying this roast for some reason. We are pleased to find it on-line.

The whole family said this was the nastiest tasting coffee I had ever brewed. In order not to waste the money spent, I'm having to mix it with another brand of coffee and add sugar to the basket to take the bitter taste out. Won't be guilty of buying this flavor again.
No, I do not recommend this product.

But nothing particularly noteworthy. Good nose before brewing but average in taste. Needed to add a few more beans to get the correct strength.
It wouldn't be my first choice to purchase.

The Italian Roast is one of tastiest and flavorful dark roasts that Starbucks offers. It is also a very inexpensive roast that they offer. It is a win-win! I am a coffee snob that likes cream in my coffee so I am not adverse to many dark roast coffees as other coffee snobs. However, that doesn't mean that I am not adverse to over roasted coffee. This is probably not a great press coffee but it makes excellent drip coffee with my Cuisinart.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have made this at home for many years now. It is my favorite. It is a bold flavor that is great. It has a deep flavor. You can adjust how "bold" it is by brewing more coffee/less water or less coffee/more water. Once you find the combination that works for you I am sure you will love this also.

When we have coffee, we want it to be the best...thus, I shop at Starbucks. I read the article regarding WHO purchases the BEST beans around the world. It is easy to figure out when you brew a cup of Starbucks.
Friends and family visit knowing the coffee is good in this kitchen!
This coffee tastes so good. Excellent flavor, smooth.

I bought several pounds of the Italian roast for the first time. I love Starbucks' coffee, but was afraid my husband would think it was too strong. He loved it too! This has been our favorite coffee so far.
