Why Choose This Roast?
 
Signature Caramelly Sweetness & Molasses Undertones
Starbucks describes this roast as “the perfect melding of beans and roast” with distinct notes of rich molasses and caramelly sweetness.
Full-Bodied Dark Roast
With bold, robust character and deeper roast traits, it stands firmly on the darker end of Starbucks’ roast spectrum—ideal for those who appreciate a heavier, mouth-coating cup.
Depth, Balance & Versatility
Despite its intensity, the roast maintains balance, letting subtle notes of cocoa, caramel, and roast complexity surface depending on your brew method.
 
Experience & Brewing
 
Espresso & Milk-Based Drinks
This roast is especially suited for espresso, cappuccino, latte, or cortado—its bold flavour cuts through milk beautifully, creating a caramel-sweet backbone.
Alternate Methods
Use in moka pots or strong drip brewers for a deeply flavoured “espresso-style” cup with more volume.
Grind & Freshness Tip
For optimal flavour, grind fresh just before brewing. A fine to medium-fine grind typically works best for espresso machines; adjust slightly coarser for drip methods. Store beans in a cool, sealed container away from light and moisture.
