Step into the rich traditions of Southern Italian roasting with Starbucks' Italian Dark Roast, a coffee that pays homage to the country that gave the world espresso. This isn't just any dark roast—it's a carefully crafted blend inspired by generations of Italian roasters who know how to coax out the perfect balance of intensity and sweetness from premium Arabica beans.
From the moment you open the bag, you'll notice the inviting aroma that signals the deep, complex flavors to come. The first sip reveals a harmonious blend of dark cocoa notes and subtle hints of toasted marshmallow, creating a rich, velvety experience that coffee enthusiasts crave. What makes this special? It's the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness that Italian roasting traditions perfected over centuries.
Whether you prefer your coffee black, with a splash of milk, or fully loaded with cream and sugar, this Italian Dark Roast delivers consistent quality and flavor. The multi-region blend ensures that each batch maintains that signature depth and character that Starbucks is known for. Try it in your drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over method for different flavor profiles.
At 18 ounces, this bag provides plenty of your favorite dark roast to start your mornings right. The slightly darker profile than Starbucks' Espresso Roast means it stands up beautifully to milk and sweeteners while still offering enough complexity to enjoy on its own. It's the kind of coffee that transforms your regular coffee break into a moment of pure indulgence, delivering that rich, satisfying taste that makes you look forward to your next cup.
