Starbucks Italian Roast K-Cup Tasting Notes
Starbucks is the world’s leading coffee chain. With over 30,000 locations worldwide, you’re sure to experience a refined, classy taste.
The Starbucks Italian Roast K-Cup is a roasty, sweet-tasting coffee. With dark chocolate and toasted marshmallow flavor, this K-Cup is fit for any indulgent occasion.
It’s a Starbucks quintessential dark roast. It offers deep, dark flavors of rich caramel, but lacks some of the beans’ original, delicate notes.
This K-Cup is slightly darker than the Starbucks Espresso Roast but without the smokiness of its French Roast.
Starbucks uses an Asia-Pacific/Latin American blend of 100% Arabica beans. The beans offer different characteristics:
Asia-Pacific
- Higher altitude
- Smooth flavor with a dry aftertaste
- Moderate acidity
- Full-bodied
- Earthy elements
Latin America
- Low altitude
- Nutty and chocolatey
- Low acidity
- Medium body
- Gentle sweetness
Blending the two in this multi-region coffee gives you complexity of flavor, acidity, and body.
Drink this K-Cup black, or add your favorite syrup or creamer. Either way, it’s sure to satisfy.
Starbucks Italian Roast K-Cup Caffeine Content
Starbucks Italian Roast K-Cup has around 75 mg of caffeine. That’s less caffeine than most medium and light roasts. The Arabica blend gives a smoother yet produces a less caffeinated cup than Robusta coffee.
