STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast on 11/22/2009 10:01:54 MST Report Post Print

Rating: 4 / 5

Sorry Java Juice but for a fast & easy cup of coffee this stuff is now at the top of my list.

Pros: Small lightweight packets, great flavor compared to all the other instants I've tried.

Cons: Not cheap--12 pack box is about $9. Great taste--may cause coffee addiction.

12/06: Update: Just tried a free sample of their Colombia at Costco. I thus changed my Italian Roast rating from 5 to 4 and would give a "5" to the Colombia. The Italian is a bit strong/harsh compared to the smoother tasting Colombia.

I've not found a better tasting instant coffee, would give it a higher mark if it wasn't so costly

I'll just chime in with my agreement. I never would have imagined that I would consider instant coffee, but this stuff is very good. The price however, takes some of the joy out of the brew.

Try Nescafe Clasico -- 98 cents for 8 packets. Gets the job done.

Other than the rather high price, I'm a big fan. The coffee quality is so much better than the typical instant coffee. And the packaging is really convenient.

Great stuff and just a step below real Starbucks but in the mountains I don’t know the difference; real easy to fix at: http://www.vimeo.com/7136912

Oh yeah, as soon as Via came out my Java Juice went bye bye and this makes it in my pack on every trip. I purchase in volume of 48 to get the price break. A nice strong and flavorful cup of coffee to get me going in the morning.

The second best instant coffee i have tasted yet.

Strong dark taste, no bitterness.

Starbucks VIA Columbia gets 1 star more
