Product Features
|
Both the acidity of Latin American coffees and the rich earthy flavor of the Indonesian coffees are detectable. The Italian Roast contributes a pleasant and almost cleansing sweetness. Origin, roast, and blend are all on display in Caffè Verona.
This blend has stood the test of time. It was originally blended for a Seattle restaurant as the perfect after-dinner coffee. Because of its popularity, it was added to the Starbucks store lineup and was originally called ¿80/20 Blend.¿
Taste Caffè Verona with dark chocolate. The sturdy character of the blend stands up to the intensity of the chocolate. Together they balance perfectly.
It is excellent brewed as a shot of espresso.
Finding and purchasing the best green beans in the world is the first step that differentiates Starbucks® Coffee from the rest of the coffee industry. Starbucks is well-known for its exceptionally high quality coffees, care in selection, and expertise in roast. Each coffee is selected for the defining qualities that distinguish its origin. This careful selection process illustrates Starbucks passion for buying and roasting the world's best coffee.

Very interesting blend,
By kentpaul_65102 "Kent Paul" (MA, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Starbucks Ground Coffee, Caffe Verona, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I was first reading reviews @ the Starbucks website for this coffee, and it had great reviews, so I though I might give it a try. I went to downtown and bought a bag of whole bean Caffe Verona and boy I am glad I made that decision.Out of the bag, the rich dark brown colors and the aroma punished me of the years I lived without this. A blend of 80% Yukon Blend, an array of Latin American and Indonesian coffees; and, 20% Italian Roast - a blend of Latin American coffees. In the cup the flavor was weak, bold as it smelled it did not seem to have the same score in taste. Light bodyweight with a woody feel to it. The light acidity is topped off with a fruity overtone and bittersweetness. Let me be as bold as to recommend Peet's Arabian Mocha-Java. If you are looking for a Multiblend similar to this, Peet's fixes whatever lacked in Starbuck's Verona. This Mocha-Java is balanced, nutty and smooth. It has excellent acidity, with a slight bite. If you want a closer mix to this than I would mix the Arabian Mocha-Java with Sumatra and you will be very satisfied with its resemblance. There are many coffee drinkers who hate Starbucks because of their corporate culture and popularity. I just like to try anything which looks interesting to me and this caffe Verona is one of the better speciality blends Starbucks has offered. I almost forgot to mention, whole beans always rule . Even if you ground your beans at your nearest cafe or supermarket, the moment the ground coffee comes in contact with the air, the aroma starts to leak. Grind your beans moments before you put it to use, you will see notice the change in taste and aroma when you are drinking it.

My favorite Starbucks variety,

First of all, in response to the query of why you would order this online posed by the reviewer below...not everyone lives near a Starbucks. Hard to believe I know, considering they seem to be on every street corner, but believe it or not there are still large sections of the US w/out Starbucks. So for those of us who want good coffee, Thank God for the internet & amazon. Verona is my favorite SB blend. It doesn't taste burnt as some of their coffee does to me. It has a boldness without being too dark & overwhelming, and it has subtle notes of chocolate without the icky sweetness of a flavored coffee. It makes a delicious cup of coffee.

By Carly (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Starbucks Ground Coffee, Caffe Verona, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
This is my favorite starbucks roast, but why dont you just go to your local starbucks to purchase this, its the same price if you just go there and you dont have to pay for shipping and handeling and all that stuff, plus they will grind it for you there.
