The aftertaste is significantly stronger too and the richness of its flavour really does show itself even with milk. If you prefer a more heavy bodied and stronger taste then you may want to consider the Starbucks Espresso Roast instead. It leaves you with a lasting and pleasant aftertaste but may not be strong enough for some people. The Colombian Roast is another smooth and balanced coffee drink and this time comes with subtle tasting nutty notes. I have gone for two options here for milk drinkers depending on what your coffee preferences are. Read the full review:īest with milk: Winner: Starbucks Colombian Roast and Espresso Roast. The flavour of this drink is very weak when paired with milk and does not work as well when used as an espresso shot so bear this in mind when considering this option. When drinking this coffee black you will notice a rich, earthy but balanced flavour. The Pike Place Nespresso pods are a solid choice if you want a larger black coffee without milk. Read the full review:īest for Lungo coffee shots: Winner: Starbucks Pike Place Power coffee drinkers may again find this too weak and may have to end up using two shots for their drinks. Drinking it without milk gives the coffee an earthy and well balanced flavour. It is a smooth and well rounded coffee with toffee tasting notes although I could really only taste these when drunk with milk. In many ways the House Blend is similar to the Blonde Roast but it is with espresso shots where it really shines. Read the full review:īest Nespresso Starbucks for espresso shots: Winner: Starbucks House Blend. The Blonde Roast is also an excellent choice for those transitioning to black coffee.

It is smooth to drink and is light bodied with a gentle aftertaste. It has a pleasingly fruity acidity when drunk as an espresso shot and and has a subtle but sweet taste when drunk with milk. The Starbucks Blonde Roast is a mellow tasting coffee that will probably satisfy most people except for the strongest of coffee drinkers or people that drink lungos (long coffees) without milk.

Because Starbucks was looking to appeal to coffee drinkers who harbored some skepticism about the brand, it was especially prudent to make the ad experience as unobtrusive as possible.

In a different version of the ad, I incorporated a functionality called Sidekick.
