The Iconic Medium Roast with Notes of Nut and Cocoa—Now in a 30-Cup Value Pack
Craving that familiar Starbucks aroma but don't want to leave your apartment? The Starbucks® House Blend Americano brings the coffee shop experience directly to your kitchen. Originally created in 1971, this blend is the foundation of Starbucks, known for its shimmering chestnut color and perfectly balanced body.

✨ Pro-Brewing Hacks for Your Home Café
1. The "Caffè Misto" Upgrade Since the House Blend has distinct cocoa notes, it makes an incredible "Misto." Froth up some warm milk separately and brew the capsule directly into it. It creates a smooth, velvety drink that rivals any Starbucks store menu.
2. The "Intense" Iced Coffee Fill a glass with ice. Adjust your Dolce Gusto® machine to one or two bars lower than the recommended setting on the box. Brewing it slightly more concentrated prevents the coffee from becoming watery as the ice melts.
3. The "Honey-Nut" Special Stir in a spoonful of Japanese honey and a splash of almond milk. The honey amplifies the toffee aroma of the House Blend for a gourmet morning treat.
🏠 Creative Ways to Use Your Stock
Espresso Martini Base: If you find yourself with extra capsules, brew two shots and let them cool. They provide the perfect, consistent flavor base for home-made coffee cocktails.
Gourmet Coffee Jelly: A summer favorite in Japan! Brew a few capsules, add sugar and gelatin, and let it set in the fridge. Top with a splash of heavy cream for a classic Japanese coffee-shop dessert made with premium Starbucks beans.
💬 What the Community is Saying
"I was spending way too much at the Starbucks in Roppongi until I found this 30-pack at Costco. It tastes exactly like the pour-over I get at the store, and it's so much more affordable for a daily habit."
"Perfect for my tiny kitchen. I love that I don't have to deal with messy coffee grounds. The House Blend is my go-to because it's not too bitter—great for drinking black or as a latte."
"User Insight: Pro-tip—this specific blend is great for 'Butter Coffee' or 'Bulletproof Coffee' enthusiasts because the medium roast doesn't overpower the healthy fats!"
