We buy the Starbucks Espresso roast for home use because of the price (through Costco's Kirkland brand), it is quite dark but can be pretty solid if you prep it right. Conversely, I cannot stand the drip coffee made at the actual Starbucks locations. Bitter horseshit. I tested the "blonde" roast last time just to have something more drinkable, and that was terrible as well.
