Instant Coffee Packets - Instant coffee singles Tastes Like Freshly Brewed (Medium Roast, 60 Packets)

Handy to keep in my bag; smooth texture, not too bitter. On a whim, the night I got these, I added a packet to some brownie batter as I was baking, and it enhanced the chocolate taste so well that I also added a packet to the fudge frosting I used yesterday for a friend's birthday cupcakes. They came out great. The coffee it makes is fairly similar to Via, but I like Double Joy better as it doesn't hold the burn-y end notes that Starbucks products leave behind. I did get some of the end-of-cup deposits that others got, but it seemed like a natural result of whatever their process is, not gritty or grainy like regular coffee grounds, so that was not any detriment to my enjoyment.Note: I would have rated the coffee itself at 4 stars, but I upped my rating to 5 due to the very nice handwritten note that came with my order. That was an unexpected surprise and made me feel like this company definitely cares about my business.

First of all, this is not a freeze dried coffee (one of the other reviewers are comparing it to Taster's Choice). It's a pre-brewed, finely-ground real coffee beans, similar to Starbucks' Via, so it never desolves entirely. It's meant to drink like a Turkish coffee with the grounds unfiltered.Taste is very good for an instant coffee, and I liked it more than the Via I got at Costco.The packaging was a little dented but I think this has more to do with the rough treatment it gets at the warehouse and the mail.As a coffee lover, this is definitely going to be a brand I will keep reordering.

We bought this to take with us on a trip to Europe. Being admitted coffee snobs at home, my first instinct was to go with Starbucks Via packs, but then the price and reviews drew me to this product. It was a big mistake. This coffee was bitter and nasty to the point where I tossed these and started collecting the Nescafe instant packs from hotel rooms. If you add cream and sugar to your coffee, this may be OK. But if you enjoy coffee black, avoid this brand.

This is a very good coffee! I like it better than Starbucks instant coffee. Smoother taste. And I’m a coffee snob!

MY wife and I really like the Starbucks Via Columbia roast coffee...have it everyday for a few years now. We've tried others (Keurig, brewed etc) but always come back to Via. We just tried this new microground coffee...and we really like it! I find it very similar in terms of how it blends w/ water...I find it has a great flavor, maybe a bit smoother then the Via. My wife still slightly prefers the Via to this, while I slightly favor this to Via...personal preference but close enough that the value of this product vs the Via means it gets 5 stars from us.

We're going on vacation to a place that is more into tea than coffee, and the hotels don't have coffee makers in the rooms. Well, as a 'Merican, I can't have that. What do these people think, that just because they are a foreign country that things shouldn't be totally Americanized?(For those of you with no sense of humor - that was sarcasm and not a dig against other countries. I *love* visiting other countries because I *love* experiencing the differences and also seeing how similar we are. But I still need coffee in the morning.)This makes decent coffee. It's better piping hot, of course, and there is a bit of a stale coffee aftertaste, but as far as something to take on vacations because there are no coffee makers in the hotel room, it's awesome. It's also not bitter or burnt tasting (I *hate* French burnt, I mean roast) and the price is pretty good.And of course, doctoring it with sugar and creamer makes it better!

Ordered by mistake when I thought I had ordered Starbucks Via Columbia. Tastes okay, but certainly not a substitute for Via Columbia- not even close

Trying to save a bit of cash during these hard times, I ordered this coffee to use instead of my normal Starbucks Columbia packets. I thought it tasted just fine.Granted I drink my coffee with half and half and sugar, so I'm not the best judge of what it tastes like black. (Although if you are a coffee connoisseur, i.e. snob, I doubt you would be drinking the Starbucks packets either.)

非常に濃くて苦いです。私は特に薄めのコーヒーが好きという訳ではありませんが、このコーヒーはブラックでは飲めません。半分ミルクを入れたカフェオレでも濃いく感じます。バッチリ目覚ましで飲むにはいいかもしれません。
