We've had it here in Seattle all year and it's actually pretty good. Still pricey though. Like $1/pack.

Just wait til you guys get the covert Starbucks fake coffee shops.

so they put instant coffee in a plastic pack?

Makes me want to go to a coffee shop so I can drink instant coffee....


Maybe I can get some Tang instant juice the next time I go to Robiks?

To defend it, in the situations where I've used it, it's good. Are you going to walk into a Starbucks and make yourself instant coffee - no. Are you going to buy a pack at the airport and then drink when in a team room at the client site - of course.

I have a Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts directly across the street from my office. I only patronize DD. Starbucks sucks.

I've tried it before and it's probably the best instant there is. It's also made differently from a typical instant if I understand correctly, it's not crystallized or anything like that.

It is the best instant out there that Ive tried for sure. I took it camping and to parties where I've spent the night a lot this summer.

They cant over-roast instant coffee!

Have you tried this instant stuff?

I can't say I'd ever buy it, but I think it's a brilliant idea.

My girlfriend says she had tried the new Via instant a while back and said it was by far the best instant she has ever tried. Perfect for trips to places with not so great coffee options, overnights with relatives who don't drink coffee, or camping.

Some of the Starbucks locations are supposed to be giving away samples as well.

Yeah, this hot Azn babe that is the morning cashier at by SB, gave me one today. It made my morning, as she was all flirty with me, saying, "Oh, I have something for you..." (she had not said that to the two people in front of me. I perked up and said with a big smile, "Oh, whats that?" "It's a secret," she said, with a sexy smile.

I kid you not. Highlight of my day no doubt.

For the record, my girlfriend does not work for Starbucks

Sounds like a good start to a day!

Much better than any instant I've ever tasted. I realize that isn't saying much, but its must count for something.
