Starbucks® Christmas Blend Espresso Roast

The deeper, darker version of our Christmas Blend. Sweet and spicy, with the rich depth of Espresso Roast.

Can't go back to Starbuck's regular espresso now.

This espresso blend is so good that it is disappointing to have to go back to Starbuck's regular espresso roast now. They should sell this as a premium blend all year. I would gladly pay more for this great blend. I may have to stop buying Starbuck's regular espresso blend now that I know there could be something this great out there. I went to several Starbucks trying to stock up on Christmas blend, but they are all out. Anyone know of any other manufacturer that has a blend as good as the Christmas blend espresso roast? I'm too disappointed to go back to the regular espresso blend now.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Christmas Blend DARK is AMAZING. I like mine with skim or 2% milk so it adds just a bit of creaminess to the steaming cup. It's next in line after the CIELO which is out around Eastertime. THANK YOU STARBUCKS!

Nothing Special

I don't see what this coffee blend has to do with Christmas?!
It's a dark coffee, not particularly strong, rich or "spicy".
Seems like a hype to capitalize on the holiday season, rather than anything "special".
Verona is much, much better.

This is an annual favorite in our house. We really wish this delightful, delicious blend were available year-round instead of just at the holidays! We stock-up so we can enjoy this (even in June and July). PLEASE make this year-round!

I love Starbucks coffee and expected this to be a nice blend based on the description and the other comments. However, we didn't like it at all. I tried using it in espresso and french press. It just does not have enough flavor and boldness that I am use to. If you like the dark coffees like Sumatra, regular espresso roast, and others, then you will probably not like this blend. Oh well...prolly the first thing I haven't liked from Starbucks.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Welcome back Christmas Espresso Roast! We waited all year for your return. The morning grinding of the coffee beans, doubled with the aroma of fresh coffee brewing reminds us of the pure delight of this seasonal coffee!
