Tasting Notes

Dark Chocolate & Toasted Marshmallow

The Starbucks® Roast

Each coffee requires a slightly different roast to reach its peak of aroma, acidity, body, and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles, so finding your favorite is easy.

The Story of Italian Roast

This is Starbucks quintessential dark roast—expertly crafted to bring out sweetness and intensity. It showcases the precision and skill of our roasters, who created a coffee that's slightly darker than our Espresso Roast without the smoky edge of French Roast. A great cup of coffee, it has a depth of flavor that holds its own with cream and sugar.
