As a result of the coronavirus outbreak, all restaurants around the world had closed their doors in accordance to social distancing measures to curb the further spread of the virus. These include coffee shops such as Starbucks, which recently announced that the closure of its U.S. stores to foot traffic -- previously planned to be lifted by April 3 -- is extended through at least May.
Though many of the famous coffee brand's stores across the country are open for drive-thru, mobile orders and delivery only, most of you who are following home lockdown orders for weeks might probably not stomach the thought of getting infected while getting your favorite cups of joe even from a nearby store. The good news is that you do not have to go out to get your daily fix because there are powdered Starbucks coffee grounds available that you can buy right now and enjoy at the comfort of your own homes. Whether served on their own or with a filling meal, here are some of them:
The Starbucks Pike Place Roast coffee powder lives up to its heritage, bearing the name of the famous coffee brand's first location at Seattle's Pike Place market. Currently available in 20 ounce packs, each cup has subtle notes of cocoa and toasted nuts that serve to balance its smooth, rich taste.
Available in 20 and 28-ounce packs, the Starbucks Breakfast Blend delivers a lively and lighter cup with a crisp, clean and citrusy finish. It is a good option if you want to get up in the morning and drink a cup of coffee that is less intense but still packs flavor.
Made from lightly roasted beans, the Starbucks Bright Sky Blend has a nutty flavor and acidity in every sip, delivering a crisp and pleasant taste. Available in packs of 6, this blond roast Latin-American coffee is as mild and welcoming as the morning sunrise.
With 20 and 28-ounce options to choose from, the Starbucks Caffe Verona is a purely romantic coffee that you will love every day. This darker-roasted coffee has a dark cocoa texture that complements its rich, well-balanced taste and can be paired with dark chocolate to bring out more of its sweetness.
The Starbucks Italian Roast is the "quintessential" dark roast, expertly crafted to bring out sweetness (via notes of caramelized sugar) and intensity in every cup. A showcase of the skill and precision of the coffee brand's roasters, it is slightly darker than the Expresso Roast coffee, but without the smoky edge of French Toast.
The Starbucks House Blend has great aroma, body and flavor combined in one warm, filling beverage. The coffee brand's very first offering, this "deceptively simple" blend is made of fine Latin-American beans that are roasted to a glistening, dark color and is loaded with flavor, balancing tastes of nuts and cocoa and a touch of sweetness.
A lightly and gently-roasted take on the Starbucks roast, the Veranda Blend gives you the aura of living in a scenic Latin-American coffee plantation. This blond, lightly-roasted coffee has a mellow and soft taste that makes it flavorful without being overly bold.
On its own, the Starbucks Savory Mornings Blend is a smooth and balanced coffee that has the taste of fresh herbs with a buttery finish. However, this specially crafted medium-roast coffee blend is best paired with omelets, bacon, avocado toast and other savory breakfast meals.
Designed to be paired with chocolate, cheesecake, fruit pies and other desserts, the Starbucks Dessert Blend lets you experience coffee and dessert time like never before. This medium-roast coffee blend has the taste of candied ginger and orange zest when consumed on its own.
