Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee Packets, Single Serve, Dark Roast Coffee, Decaf Italian Roast, 50 Packets

Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee, specifically the Dark Roast Decaf Italian Roast, is an exceptional product that I've had the pleasure of enjoying. Made from 100% Arabica beans, it offers a rich and robust flavor that rivals that of freshly brewed coffee. One of the key selling points is its convenience. Being an instant coffee, it's perfect for those busy mornings or when you need a quick coffee fix without the hassle of brewing a full pot. Simply mix it with a little water, and it's ready to go. However, where this product truly shines is in its versatility. Not only can it be enjoyed as a hot beverage, but it also serves as the perfect base for an iced latte. By adding milk and ice to the coffee, you can create a refreshing and delicious drink that's perfect for hot summer days or when you just want to mix things up a little. Another aspect worth mentioning is its value for money. At just .90 cents per serving, it offers a high-quality coffee experience without breaking the bank. In conclusion, Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee—Dark Roast Coffee—Decaf Italian Roast—100% Arabica is a fantastic product that I highly recommend. Whether you prefer your coffee hot or iced, this offers a convenient and cost-effective way to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.

I cannot stand instant coffee, but this change my mind. It is delicious and I drink a cup almost every single morning! I absolutely love this coffee.!!!

Exactly as described

Only have hot water available, no coffeemaker. These instant coffee packets make a very tasty cup of coffee with just hot water. I prefer 'Italian Roast'.

I like coffee that tastes like coffee beans, not like emaciated grocery store brands from the Fifties. I’ve always thought Starbucks fresh coffee tastes “burnt” so I stopped going there in favor of “The Human Bean” in Phoenix. And after reading about the owner of Starbucks, I did this subjective taste test to try and find an instant I could live with to “instantly” move away from giving my money to Starbucks Via. In my comparison of five brands, I used one teaspoon of instant and ¾ cup of hot water in each brand, kept it just black, and tasted it hot. Next, I added one teaspoon of heavy cream and 10 drops of Sweet Leaf brand vanilla-flavored extract and tasted it hot. Then, I waited until it cooled to room temp and tasted it again. Here are my personal findings with 5 being “worst”: 5. Waka Decaf – Slightly sour and brackish, tastes “instant” and gets worse as it cools. An absolute “no.” (1 packet per 8-10 oz.) 4. Jacobs Espresso – Watery, thin, and so “smooth” as to be tasteless, and they have the nerve to call this “espresso”? (No English instructions I could find—I guess they didn’t think it was worth the bother—and they’re probably right.) 3. Mt. Hagen Espresso – Also too smooth and lacking in taste, but has a wee more grunt and flavour than Jacobs. (1 packet per cup—I assume they mean 8 oz.) 2. Café Bustelo Espresso – Definitely better than the others but still “middle of the road” when it comes to true bean flavour. At least it tastes like coffee, even when cool. 1. Via Decaf Italian – IF you mix as instructed (1 packet per 8 oz.), it's too strong and has a slightly burnt taste . However, you can make a perfect travel mug of coffee by adding 16-20 ounces of hot water instead and just one packet of this very robust, powerful instant that actually tastes brewed. You also get two times more coffee for the money, via Via, because the packet makes such strong coffee. My tastebuds have failed to escape the Starbucks czar with this test, so maybe I should give those Fifties store brands another go.

This is great

Ordered packet of 50, but arrived with only 48 packets were in box. Called customer service because prior order of 40 packets ( two boxes of 20 packets StarbuckVia Instant Coffee Decaf Italian Roast) was also shorted: order was made for 40 packets total (2 boxes), but only 39 packets arrived in package. Customer service agent Fakiha straightened this out right away.

Love Italian Via! So roasty and toasty rich tasting and easy! The price has us close to having to give it up though. I will miss it!
