Starbucks VIA Instant Decaf Coffee Packets — Italian Roast — 1 box (7 packets)

This is a great decaf coffee. Full bodied and lovely aroma. But the price is not worth it. The seller is charging double the price.Just walk up to your local Starbucks and grab it at 12.99

My girlfriend loves these and makes me buy them for her. It's instant but as good as a fresh cup of coffee at Starbucks. You'll have to try it to believe it. You can also get a smaller box of 10 for about ten bucks. She only uses half of the envelop for her coffee, so the 50 packets will last her 100 days. Very convenient. I like it stronger, so I use one each time I drink coffee.

Very good!! Well sealed. Smells great. Not bitter. Nice & smooth!

I bought this for making coffee drinks - Irish Coffee in my case. The rich taste works well, and it can be made quite strong (less water). I make "Buena Vista" style Irish Coffees, where the ratio of whiskey to coffee is higher than many other styles, so strong coffee is important. And if only one or two guests want the Coffees, this is much more convenient than making a pot. Also, being decaf, means being able to serve a late night coffee drink.

It tastes very different from the coffee you drink at the store.

I was actually one of the first consumers to test this coffee, even before it was available. I was doing a job for a customer one day that happened to be a Starbucks employee. We of course were chatting about coffee when I admitted to her that I had made the switch to decaf. I had to come back the next day to finish the job and when I arrive, she presented me with the small box of little pouches. My first reaction was instant coffee? Yuck. She laughed and said just try it. I couldn’t believe it when I had the 1st cup. It tastes nothing like your grandmother‘s instant coffee. I’ve been a loyal user of this for many years now. It is so convenient to carry as well. Now you don’t have to worry if your friends will serve decaf. Just pop a few of these in your pocket and then when it’s time for coffee, just ask for hot water. The pouch makes a nice stirring stick too.

Instead of a new package of seven packets, I received a used 12 pack of packets that only had seven in it. The package had clearly already been opened with some of the packets having been used. Do not buy this product. It is not new. It is used.

When we switched from regular freshly-ground bean coffee to decaf, we tried Via Instant decaf — and never went back to grinding beans! The taste and invigoration is just as good, and the ease and convenience cannot be beat. The price is a bit steep—but our fabulous bulletproof morning coffee at home is still way less expensive than a specialty coffee at any coffee shop. So far, we are willing to pay for convenience. Luckily we can now buy Via Italian Roast on Amazon, even as decaf. Earlier, we had to buy it at Starbucks shops overseas.
