Special supper for two

The perfect pair ing

With over 40 years of experience, Starbucks® knows the secret to the perfect match. By combining your cup with delicious food you can unlock hidden depths of flavour combinations

The ritual of making coffee conjures up fantastic memories: that languorous Sunday morning spent lingering over breakfast with a loved one, an indulgent pick-me-up at the end of your birthday dinner, or that life-giving first sip after a hard day at work. Wherever it happens and whoever it’s shared with, it’s easy to agree: coffee matters.

So when you’re looking to create more memories, it’s good to get some advice from the experts. With Starbucks packaged coffee you can bring the benefit of 40 years of experience into your home with an exceptional range of varieties. Since 1971, Starbucks has always been about the coffee, with a passion for ethically sourcing only the finest Arabica coffee beans and roasting them with great care. From the sonorous complexity of the Espresso Roast, to the well-balanced cocoa tones of the House Blend, each has been painstakingly sourced from suppliers worldwide.

Pairing coffee and food is as much an art as combining wine with a meal – and the rewards are just as rich. Take two classic coffee occasions: breakfast and a late night dessert. Each needs a subtly different accompaniment to maximise their taste. Try these pairings at your next dinner party or breakfast and revel in a new world of flavour. Fruit and nut muesli Muesli’s sweetness needs a smoother coffee with a light flavour. Be sure the choice enhances the nut and citrus tones, without overpowering them. The cocoa notes of a medium roast, found in the Starbucks House Blend, perfectly complement the subtle sweetness of a bowl of muesli.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels The tang of the cream cheese and the doughy feel of the bagel needs subtle, herbal notes, like those in Starbucks Colombia Blend. Its nutty finish enhances the understated flavour of this classic dish.

Chocolate Chocolate and coffee are one of nature’s perfect couples, so be sure to get the right bean for your block. Creamier chocolates suit less tart blends, while dark chocolate needs the full-bodied quality of a darker mix. Try Starbucks Caffè Verona for an Italian roast adaptable enough for either.

Macaroons A dainty treat needs a similarly delicate yet strong-voiced coffee. Starbucks Espresso Roast brings deep caramel notes and a delicious crema to the table, thanks to the high altitude origins of its beans.

Available at all good grocery stores including Tesco, Waitrose and Morrisons.
