Product Description

French Roast is not for the timid. The hardiest of Latin American coffees withstand our darkest roast - an intensity which would burn less rugged beans. Blunt, smoky flavors are the objective of the roasting process and there's only a slight, residual acidity. Although it's a powerful blend, the body is light.

Taste French Roast beside Espresso Roast. You may discover and uncover many tastes in the Espresso and the Italian you did not realize were there when tasting them alone. French Roast is about pleasing the palates of those who enjoy the deepest, darkest, smokiest flavor.

French Roast is a combination of select Latin American beans. These beans are strong and hearty, standing up to a roast that would cause many lesser coffees to go up in flames.

People often assume that darker means fuller body. Not true! People also assume that French Roast has either more or less caffeine due to its roast, which is also untrue.

French Roast is great for dark roast die-hards, someone looking for a change, or as an interesting component to a do-it-yourself blend.

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.

So far ive tried the breakfest blend, columbian, sumatra, verona, winter blend, house blend and a special christmas blend they had one year which was diffrent and had a spicyness to it and im looking forward to trying all the blends eventually but out of all of them ive tried so far the French roast has to be my favorite- probably between the french and winter blend. The french roast has an excellent taste and is deep dark beans and a smooth smoky taste. Absolutely delicious and smells great to. I would recomend this if you love dark coffee with alot of taste. Excellent and highly Recomended. A+

When I first got the product it was exceptionally strong when used as the directions stated. After about a week of the bag having been opened it mellowed a bit but I had to use about 2/3 of the amount suggested. My husband still does not like to drink it so after I have used up two pounds I will get another flavor.
