Starbucks Via

I love coffee. Coffee makes me happy and I enjoy every aspect of it. I was very hesitant to try the new Starbucks Via, their newly released in the US version of instant coffee. Instant Coffee?!! Am I really blogging about instant coffee when I am such a lover of REAL coffee? To be honest Starbucks coffee is not even my favorite coffee, but I can still enjoy it. It is tradition for me to drink a Pumpkin Spice Latte as soon as I really feel like it is fall, so that is what I set out to do yesterday. The free testing of Via is no longer going on, but I was lucky to get an awesome barista who made one for me when I was asking about it. And I must say... I bought a box. It was good coffee. Not amazing, but it did NOT taste like instant coffee to me at all. Now when I have to rush out of the house for a sub job, I can still have a good cup of coffee!! Has anyone else tried it? What do you think? Am I crazy? And check out this out...

That is right my friends, Starbucks has made a tumbler specifically for Via. This nifty item holds six Via packets that you access by removing the bottom plate. It holds the exact amount of water needed and the instant coffee can be made either cold or hot! Genius! Now if only I had $16.95 for this little wonder.

  1. I have tried the VIA (I wasn't sure that's what it was called!) I was going through the drivethrough and they were giving away samples... and it was pretty yummy! I'm a huge starbucks fan and often just drink their regular coffee, and i would consider buying this to make quickly at work!!! I love the mug!!
