Description
Muted with oil, the tumbling beans become eerily silent. A master roaster watches, knowing that if he pushes them a second too long, they'll burst into flames. White smoke hangs down as the glistening beans turn ebony. This is French Roast, and you can't roast it darker. Straightforward, light-bodied with low acidity, and immensely popular since 1971, our darkest roast is adored for its intense smokiness.

This is the blandest coffee I’ve ever had. It literally tastes like nothing. I’m confused by the burnt and too dark comments honestly.

I really want my old Starbucks French Roast back. I’ve been drinking the best coffee for years. Now it’s too Smokey and why put caramel in it? I’m not fond of Carmel in my coffee. I have to switch brands to find what I like. I’ll miss you Starbucks.

I have been drinking Starbuck's French Roast Intense and Smoky for years. I love the taste of it. The time I placed my order for Intense and Smokey I received notes of Carmel. I am not a fan of that blend. It doesn't have that INTENSE taste anymore. Where is the Intense and Smokey?
Loss of flavor

The ground coffee, Starbucks ground french, has lost is it rich flavor. Tastes, well has no taste other than a cardboard taste weak taste, even when made stronger. Use to have a distinctive rich smell and taste, full body not water down, I know you will say nothing has changed, but it truly has. It has lost it uniqueness.
They changed French roast flavors

For years I’ve been drinking the dark roast (intense & Smokey) I absolutely loved the flavor. But now it seems as I received my quarterly box of 96 they did send French roast but it’s (notes of dark caramel & sweet smoke) not even close to the strong and bitterness of what I’m use to. So before ordering double check the order for the site says one description of flavor but the actual is something different

Thanks for being a fan of our French Roast blend! We updated the tasting notes to best describe the delicious flavors you’ll find in every cup, but the taste of the roast has not changed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this Starbucks coffee. I am a big fan of Starbucks drinks and happy to have this coffee in my home for myself. The taste of this coffee is amazing wouldn’t have it any other way. Love the freshness of this brew makes my house smell amazing when we make a fresh pot in the morning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who doesn't love coffee? Especially French roast coffee made from Starbucks! They have never made a bad coffee at all. French roast is so heavenly. You make it like any other coffee. I do use more grounds because I love it stronger and more flavorful.
One of my new favorites!
