Last week I ordered five boxes of the Starbucks Via Italian Roast. Via is the new instant coffee offering from Starbucks. Currently it is offered in Colombian and Italian. Via is not available in stores yet, but is expected to roll out nation-wide in the fall. In the meantime, simply pop over to the Starbucks site and order away. Here’s why you’re going to want to order some:
- Via dissolves very well in both tepid water and hot water. This makes it perfect for summer iced coffee drinks in a hurry, one by one. One packet of Via, about 4-6 oz of hot water, and top off the glass with ice (and cream if you like it!).
- How many times have you been stuck in a hotel with their corporate brand of coffee? No more. Run water through the coffee put, pour your Via into the mug and top it off with the hot water. The mouth feel of the coffee is very close to original brewed Starbucks. The taste is perfect.
- Visiting great aunt Gladys? She IS going to serve you Maxwell House. Ask for hot water instead and sneak your Via into the cup. Trust me, this works. I’ve done it.
- Airplane coffee is undrinkable most of the time. Hot water is available, however, as is cream. Need I say more? And the powdered packets travel well through security.
There is also a mug and packet combo. The packets store around the mug for a handy all-in-one combo!
