I was looking for a coffee to make iced coffee and the Kenya beans do a great job. I cold brewed the coffee overnight in a French press. I add a touch of no sugar vanilla syrup and a touch of non fat milk...yum yum!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Kenya is one of my all-time favorite Starbucks coffees; it's always my go-to recommendation when I'm suggesting a new medium roast to a customer. It's got a juicy, citrusy taste without being obnoxiously acidic, and it makes an AMAZING iced coffee (if you're ever at a Clover store, it's essential that you try it iced from that machine). Not only that, but the aroma is wonderfully citrusy as well. Definitely give this coffee a try!

This coffee has a rich taste and flavor. It is also strong. Since it is strong, we can use less coffee powder.

Being a Starbucks partner, we have the opportunity to try every coffee offered by Starbucks. After some time sampling through roasts, Kenya is the one that continually turn back to. I suggest it to our guests and its one that I always bring home to brew. Try sipping this with a cheesecake or with any berry fruit and you will not be disappointed.

I love the Africa Kitamu roast but had a hard time finding it. The only place I was able to buy it was at Meijer supermarket. But they, too, have stopped selling it. I just found out Starbucks no longer produces it. I emailed SB and they suggested trying the Kenya roast. It's very similar to the AK roast. I'm happy with the replacement.

I will always prefer the coffee that comes from Kenya. There is something about that flavor that is unique. The blenders say things like chocolate or grapefruit but that means nothing to me. I can tell when the coffee comes from Kenya because it tastes "right." Everything else is just everything else. The big problem is, of course, that you can only get this flavor by buying the bag and brewing at home. It never seems to be on offer at the Starbucks.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The beans have a pleasing, rich chocolate scent. The coffee is deeply flavored and soft on the palate. The citrus performs as an undertone and the currant full-bodied . Kenya smells fantastic brewing and is wonderful cup to enjoy slowly on a easy morning, or as a pleasurable comfort-cup wake-up on a long commute.
Yes, I recommend this product.

For me this coffee was love at first sip! I have been a coffee addict for upwards of 15yrs and this is my go to blend. It is wonderfully bold, yet smooth and exotic all at the same time. I would recommend this to any true coffee lover because it will not disappoint. My starbucks seems to always run out of this blend and have an abundance of everything else, so you know it's a fan favorite. I actually had to start ordering it online because it's somewhat hard to come by.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Kenya has body and dark flavor without bitterness or edge. I have tried them all and think this is superior for the medium dark bean fan. I will say that like many it is at its best when freshly brewed, so a large pot, even thermal, nursed for hours, is not recommended.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Wonderful Kenyan bean knows no competition. And now that you offer free shipping on orders over $75, I can become a more consistent Starbuck's customer since I didn't always have a chance to drive into the city to purchase a supply. Having it delivered to my doorstep for free is heaven and makes me a devoted lifelong customer. Thanks!

My husband and I are huge Starbucks fans and always enjoy trying new coffee. We recently ordered this blend for the first time and it has become our new favorite. Kenya is full of taste and very smooth with little to no after-bite.

I love the smoothest and the silky taste. However, My favorite is Kenya bold. Since its not available .I am thankful for the high quality of the lighter and smoother Kenya coffee. I recommend it to everyone I come in contact. Once you drink Kenya coffee its difficulty to a difference brain.
My girl friend talk about how it does not keep up at night. Once you drank it While.

I absolutely loved the Burundi (sp?) when we could get it a few years back. Alas, no more? But then I found the Kenyan recently and I really love it!! Even my husband, who doesn't typically like the bolder coffees like I do, really likes it. Great way to start the day!!

I did like the Dark Roast of Starbucks Kenya. I do like the new Medium Roast Starbucks Kenya more.
I do love dark roast coffee. I was roasting my own Kenya beans last fall, trying to match Starbucks Kenya flavor with dark roasts.
I find the medium roast Starbucks Kenya is smoother than the dark roast.
I find me wanting to make more Kenya during the afternoon to evening hours. I like Starbucks Sumatra in the morning, and Kenya the rest of the day. Kenya is great with meals.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This coffee was way better when it was a bold roast. As a medium roast, it loses its bold taste. It has a more flat taste. I'm totally disappointed in the coffee now. Won't buy it again.
