Starbucks Espresso Roast

Created in 1975 to compliment milk.  Starbucks Espresso roast is the center of attention and responsible for creating a variety of crowd-pleasing specialty beverages actually, 65% of Starbucks drinks are created with it.  The first store to create an espresso beverage for Starbucks was on 4th and Spring in Seattle for you history buffs.
     My Favorite is to have this espresso roast in a french press. This roast is darker than most traditional espresso it has a dark but sweet aroma, it is very smooth with a soft acidity.  The roasty taste lingers on your tongue and it developed a caramel sweetness as it cooled.  We paired it with Kraft caramel chews, but if your in a Starbucks store get a spoonful of caramel sauce and pair with a shot of espresso.
