Whole bean or ground coffee, this icon will help you find the format that’s best for you.
Roast Color Band
This colored band that stretches across the middle of the pack serves as a quick way to understand the coffee’s roast level. Blonde roasts are yellow, medium roasts are brown, and dark roasts are purple. For more details about the roast styles, check out the side of the pack or click here.

Pack Art
One of the most interesting features is the unique artwork for each pack. Look closely, and you'll discover odes to each coffee's origins. For example:

-Starbucks® Pike Place® Roast Coffee: Representing our original storefront in Seattle's Pike Place Market, where it was crafted.
-Starbucks® Caffè Verona® Coffee: A romantic selection of roses in honor of the coffee's namesake, Verona, Italy–the city of love.
-Starbucks® Sumatra Coffee: Spotlighting the Sumatran tiger who calls only this island home—as single origin as the coffee itself.
-Starbucks® Morning Joe Coffee: Featuring Chicago's vibrant lights and skyscrapers in recognition of its original purpose: to stand up to those infamously bitter winters.
