Starbucks Nespresso Italian Style Roast is a typical dark roasted Starbucks coffee professionally created to bring out its sweet and intense flavors. Roasting degree 11/12. It is an excellent demonstration of the care and professionalism of Starbucks roasters. They have created a coffee that is a bit darker than the Espresso Roast, but without a smoky nuance. A tasty cup of coffee that works great with cream and sugar. STARBUCKS® by NESPRESSO® coffee capsules are compatible with NESPRESSO® coffee machines.
