    Dark and delicious

    I was surprised with how much I like McCafé French Roast Dark Roast Ground Coffee. The flavor is bold and rich without being bitter, and it has that deep, smooth taste you expect from a good dark roast. It brews consistently well and fills the kitchen with yummy smells.

    My go to dark roast: Rich, Smoky, and Consistently Delicious

    I really like the dark roast McCafe French Roast that I have been drinking. It smells deep and toasty, which makes you think it will be a strong cup of coffee. The brew has a full flavor with a smoky base and hints of dark cocoa. It tastes good whether you drink it black, with milk, or with sugar.
