| It is coming on sale at costco next week, but not sure if we should try that huge 40 oz. bag. |

| There is no risk in trying the coffee. Costco will take back anything. |

| I was briefly tempted but I think Starbucks over-roasts their beans. |

| The sale starts on the 27th. I'll try a bag. We have been drinking the Costco Starbucks French Roast for several years and think it's a real price performer. |

Yikes. Shameless. |

| Could the name be any more pretentious? |

Agree. Costco is very generous with samples. Why not track down a sample, hm? |

Yes, OP here and we love the sbux french roast. It's a staple that we'll supplement with some of the other varieties from the store from time to time. We might try a bag, but I would feel bad about grinding the entire bag and returning. Guess I can always offload at work if we don't like it. |

| Is this something that’s only at Costco? Maybe they’ll have samples on the release day. |

| Can you tell me if the winter blend is a dark or medium roast? |

Amazon sells it and has reviews. It is a medium roast.

| I love the single origin coffees at Starbucks. I picked up the 40oz bag a few days ago - the price was great - $17.99 for 2.5 lbs. I signed into Starbucks and got my award points for purchasing. It is a definite blend. I would say is a light to medium roast. I brewed my first cup yesterday. It seemed a little weak. Today, I added another scoop of coffee, and it was a little more flavorful. Would I buy again, probably not. |
