A Bit Disappointed

I was born and raised in Brazil, where coffee is simple, strong, and tasty. I enjoy going to coffee shops and trying different coffee flavors (not flavored coffee!). I drink Starbucks all the time. I even have a Starbucks card that I load often. When I bought my Keurig a few weeks ago I got the French Roast SB, and was disappointed with the bitterness. Coffee should never taste bitter! But maybe the temperature of the machine is too hot and produces the bitter taste. It is possible. This is the 2nd French Roast I tried. The first one, from a different brend, was bitter too. I will keep trying.
I love starbucks, and when i received my keurig last year i was sad that starbucks did not have k-cups, so happy they do now. French Roast is my favourite flavor. If you like bold, this is for you. Great tasted, even on the large level button. It is great!!! Thanks for having this Keurig!
This coffee is absolutely delish.... however the Tully's french roast I buy on this site is almost indiscernible in every way except the price. I bought it because I had to try it, but I am going back to where I get waaaay more bang for my coffee dollar.
I am a devout Starbucks believer and have tried every Starbucks Kcup I can find thus far, BUT have been sadly disappointed. I'm done with that. From now on, if when I want a Starbucks brew, I will go to the nearest Starbucks to get it. These cups are too pricey and just can't deliver the taste.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity
I bought some of Starbuck's French Roast k-cups at a local grocery store to try and although the coffee is rich and full of body and taste, it leaves a nasty after taste in my mouth. Some people make like it, but I really did not care for it that much.
