Created in 1975, STARBUCKS Espresso Roast is a dark roast made with a blend of coffee beans that serves as the foundation of our handcrafted espresso drinks in STARBUCKS stores throughout the world. This perfect melding of coffee beans and roast reveals notes of molasses and caramelized sugar. Delicious on its own or balanced with milk, our STARBUCKS Espresso Roast NESPRESSO capsules are made to use with NESPRESSO Original line coffee machines. These coffee capsules are made of aluminum to maintain the freshness of the aromas and flavours of STARBUCKS Espresso Roast and are recyclable through the NESPRESSO recycling program.
