Doesn't even smell or taste like coffee. Someone described it as filtered thru a cigarette filter. Couldn't describe it better myself. Can't even stand the smell.
Pros: None
Cons: Unpleasant Flavor, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma
A friend of mine described the flavour perfectly, something about putting water through a cigarette filter. It's not my favourite French Roast but I'll drink what I have and not buy again. I do like the SB Sumatra, it's also strong but has a cleaner smoother taste.
I drink regular coffee first thing in the morning and have been disappointed with most of the lighter blends. Then I found Starbucks French Roast. Now this is what good coffee should taste like. I use the K-Cup and brew it as strong as I like. Great coffee.
