The journey to creating STARBUCKS Espresso Roast Coffee began in 1975, when we set off to perfect the mastery of beans and roast. Made up of a blend of 100% Arabica beans from Latin America and Asia-Pacific, STARBUCKS Espresso Roast Coffee took months of experimentation and a deep love of the craft from our master roasters to bring this delicious roast to life. Each cup is as aromatic as it is inviting. Rich and bold, this dark roast has flavour notes of rich molasses and caramel that can be perfectly accompanied with steamed milk.
