Starbucks suggests ordering a Blonde Flat White or Espresso Macchiato if you want a smoother taste, but recommends sticking with dark roast for something like a mocha, which has a rich and bittersweet flavor. Last year, Starbucks tested out the lighter roast in Canada, and is now taking it worldwide as part of the permanent menu. ![]() The introduction of Blonde Espresso could also help you on your way to a healthier 2018, since, as the company noted in a press release, "Blonde is a great option for customers who are new to coffee, or who are looking for a smoother coffee flavor that needs less cream and sugar added." Plus, if you opt to add Blonde Espresso to your favorite espresso-based flavored drinks, like the Vanilla Latte or Caramel Macchiato, the baristas will add less of the sugary syrups than they would if they were using the traditional darker roast to balance out the sweeter flavors of the new espresso blend. So what does this coffee makeover mean for you?

On Tuesday the company introduced Blonde Espresso, the first new espresso in the company's more than 40-year history. Just when you thought that there was already an endless combination of coffees, milks, and flavors at Starbucks, they went and added a whole new blend of espresso.
