Q: Can you use this in an espresso machine?

submitted by Sarah - 1 year ago
  • A: I own a DeLonghi coffee maker which has the option to make an espresso and drip coffee. I love this Starbucks Espresso option as I get that scent and kick when I don’t have time to make an espresso drink, but when I do have time I can also use it.

    submitted byJE - 11 months ago
  • A: You can give it a try, Sarah, but you may need to pass our coffee through a coffee grinder for the best results. Our coffee is more of a medium grind vs. a finer grind you'd use for espresso. We hope this helps!

Q: Is this finely grounded?

submitted by Cynthia - 2 years ago
  • A: No, this is a medium grind.

    submitted byAaron - 1 year ago
  • A: Great question, Cynthia! Our coffees are a medium grind. We hope this helps! -Teresa

Q: Is this finely ground so that I can use it in an espresso machine?

submitted by Joy - 5 years ago
  • A: grind the beans yourself and you will control the process.....grind longer for fine, shorter time for coarse.

    submitted byJohn - 5 years ago

Q: This may be a silly question, but I'm trying to put together a gift basket for someone......can they brew this espresso in a regular coffee pot, or would they have to have an actual espresso machine? Thank you for your help!

submitted by MangoW - 6 years ago
  • A: yes you can use in your coffee maker

    submitted byshoelady - 5 years ago

Q: Is this the same type of espresso in the white chocolate mocha bought at Starbucks?

submitted by Jessica - 7 years ago
  • A: yes, they use espresso shots in the white chocolate mocha drink

    submitted byBenny112 - 6 years ago

Q: when is the expire date of this product?

submitted by louise - 7 years ago
  • A: The Best Use by Date is a guideline for optimal freshness recommended by the roaster; it is not an expiration date. The pods are nitrogen-flushed and sealed for freshness and impermeable to oxygen, moisture and light. You can be confident that due to the superior packaging of the pod your Keurig Coffee Maker will yield a superior cup of coffee or tea. We hope this helps!

    Yummy

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this Starbucks Espresso Coffee K-Cups recently and I enjoyed the flavor. It has a slightly more bitter flavor than regular espresso but overall was enjoyable. This blend would be a nice addition to chocolate to enhance the flavor for brownies. #freesample

    LOVE

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bold, smooth, and super convenient. It brews a rich espresso‑style cup with that classic Starbucks depth...no bitterness, just a strong, cozy kick that wakes you right up. Perfect for busy mornings when you want café vibes without leaving the house.

    A strong roast, even with heavy creamer!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So nice to have a cup of dark, delicious, and aromatic coffee in my cup every morning. This roast is intense and eye opening with or without adding my creamer, which I use a ton of and can still taste that strong brew through. I'm definitely favoring this roast as strong coffee is rather hard to find. #ad #freesample

    My two new favorites

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the flavor or the Italian roast compared to French roast it is similar to me. Espresso really hits like fresh Espresso , can always count on that perfect cup of coffee in the morning.

    Good, but...

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This flavor is a strong yet balanced one, and sometimes can be a bit too much. The Kcup version is dusty, somewhat powdery in the cup, like it's not coarse filtering itself out well enough in the brewing process. I am not a fan of that. The Kcups are also environmentally wasteful. I don't appreciate that part either. But the flavor itself is tasty, as long as you mix it with a little bit of sweetener of choice and a splash of whatever dairy you prefer to sort of dull down the intensity. #freesample #ad

    Espresso roast is the new fav!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great combination of robust but smooth coffee flavors! The Starbucks K-cup Espresso roast is definitely one of the best "make at home" coffees that I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend to virtually any coffee drinker whether they prefer stronger or less dark coffee because it strikes such a great balance. #freesample

    Bold Cup of Coffee

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During the work week, I often find myself running out of steam in the afternoons. I used to chug an energy drink, but then I usually crashed a few hours later. Starbucks Espresso K-Cups are the perfect way to get a quick boost of energy without the after effects of an energy drink. The taste is smooth and can be enjoyed with or without extras like cream or sugar.

    Espresso is bitter and sour for the last few month

    I have been a fan of Starbucks espresso for over 25 years. It was the best espresso in the states, and the closest to sweet Italian espresso that I’ve had. And we have been devoted customers. But over the last few months, the quality of the espresso, including the aroma, has plummeted to a bitter and sour taste. No matter where we buy the beans, it is truly disappointing. What happened? Did they change the beans? Standards of the entire chain seem to have disappeared into less than mediocre. The taste of espresso is now completely. Unacceptable. It tastes, old and stale, and we have gone to several stores in our area with the same results. Really saddened by this.
