 Five stars for homemade iced latter, 2 stars for hot coffee, 1 star off for pricingJul 29, 2010
By Mir
I tried VIA when it first came out. I tried it the traditional route--as a hot cup o' java. I did not like it. Not this roast and not the Columbian (which was so weak, why bother).
So, it's hot. It's summer. I normally hit Starbucks after the gym for my fave iced sugar free vanilla latte. I saw the ad for the iced coffee VIA, but it has sugar. I don't want sugar. So, it hit me, why not try making iced coffee from the regular VIA. (duh, should have thought of that sooner). I bought a 3-packer (like this one shown in image).
It was amazing. 2% milk (about a cup), ice, Starbucks sugar free vanilla syrup (I buy it at my local Starbucks), in a blender bottle and shake, shake, shake. It comes out frothy and delicious. FOr me, I like it BETTER than my habitual 2 to 3x a week fix of it at the store. Because you add the VIA to the milk and the milk is cold and the instant coffee is not hot (like espresso), there is NO DILUTION. It makes for a much more flavorful, less watery, iced latte. OH MY GOSH SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.
Now, my problem is not having three lattes a day, instead of three a week. Seriously. I'm a junkie now. (And I have coffee everyday, but my homebrew is so much better than Starbuck's that I don't get hot coffee there, I just used to like the convenience--still do--of grabbing a fast latte after exercising. I have a great coffee set-up at home with Paradise Roasters and Terroir gourmet single origins and a Technivorm and a Barratza burr grinder and filtered water pitcher, so really, now that I can make a fast latte at home and take it with me to the Pilates studio and put in the fridge there until I'm done, I may not be visiting the Starbucks as much, except to get my fave protein plate now and then and stock up on VIA.)
The product is crazy overpriced. What...more than five bucks for what's 3 servings? How sick is that? Buy it at the store unless the price is dropped. That's crazy.
But, nummy latte.
So, if iced lattes are you vice of choice, might wanna consider this. And if you don't want sugar, skip the one they're pushing now in the blue packaging and buy the unsweetened.
And I just slurped one after dinner (latte that is). Addictive. (Er, literally, I guess.) But at least I'm getting my calcim. :D

Spendy but quite goodMar 08, 2010
By C. Parker
At over a buck a pop, this isn't exactly a bargain. Still, I like to keep some on hand at the office for when the office coffee just isn't cutting it. It's also great for those times when I'd love a cup, but brewing a whole pot would be a waste. This definitely beats the heck out of any other instant I have tried (even in England where the instant is typically pretty good) but I suspect in a side-by-side blind taste-test, I'd still pick a brewed cup over this.
Works in a pinch and it's a good substituteSep 13, 2010

If I'm in a hurry and there's no time to make coffee I like Starbuck's VIA Instant Micro Grind coffee in hot water. -Of course, I can taste the difference -but in a flash it's nice to have, and tastes better than freeze dried crystals or other instant coffee. Also, this is nice to have on hand for cooking and baking. (Like making Tiramisu or even using in chili or steak marinade. (For some reason coffee gives meat a rich "MEATY" beef flavor?)
 Good Coffee. Not good here.Jul 27, 2010
By Sage921
This costs $2.99 retail. The coffee tastes good but it doesn't taste good enough to pay double the price. Please stop trying to rip people off.

 FINALLY!!!Mar 09, 2010
By Blasian
I have been waiting for a coffee like this for years. It's not only delicious and close to the real thing, it's conveniently packaged so that you can take it anywhere. I think its worth the money. The aroma smells great and I love that it's actually a microground coffee and not some conglomeration of unknown ingredients. Thank you Starbucks! :)
