Starbucks VIA Instant Italian Roast

I was taken aback when I saw the packaging (it was just a small brown box). I thought it might have been counterfeit. This morning, I did a taste test and was pleasantly surprised. It was rich and matched the flavor of a packet I still had from the Starbucks store. The price is significantly better. The packets are individually labeled with the expiration date, and don't expire until 12 months from now. Also, in case you are new to these instant packets, they are much better than a jar or can, because they retain their freshness so much longer. (I find the instant loses flavor quickly once the container opened.) Highly recommend!

If you are a fan of dark roast coffee, this instant Italian roast from Starbucks will not disappoint. In one cup of boiling water an individual packet makes a bold cup of morning joe that is smooth and rich. I drink mine black, no sugar. Only a slightly bitter finish. I'm impressed.

Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee, Italian Roast, is a game-changer for anyone who loves bold, full-bodied coffee but doesn’t always have time to brew a fresh cup. Here’s what I think after trying it: Flavor: The Italian Roast has a rich, robust taste with a hint of caramelized sweetness and a smoky finish. If you enjoy strong, dark roast coffee, this is right up your alley. It’s one of the best-tasting instant coffees I’ve had—far better than most store brands. Convenience: The individual packets are super easy to use. Just pour one into a cup, add hot water, stir, and you’re good to go! They’re perfect for busy mornings, work, travel, or camping trips. Quality: Made from 100% Arabica beans, the quality is impressive for instant coffee. It tastes pretty close to a fresh-brewed cup, though hardcore coffee purists might notice a slight difference. Packaging: The single-serve packets are convenient and stay fresh, but I wish the outer packaging was a bit more eco-friendly. Price: It’s a little pricier than other instant coffee options, but the flavor and quality make it worth it if you’re looking for something better than the usual. Overall: If you love a strong, flavorful coffee and need something quick and easy, Starbucks VIA Italian Roast is a great choice. Highly recommended for dark roast fans who want premium coffee on the go!

The coffee is great, but there is a big issue. This is an Amazon issue. They show a special box for Starbucks Via Instant dark roast coffee. It is a box you can stand up on your counter and there's a little pull-down tab at the bottom, so you can take your coffee packets out from there. THREE TIMES now when I order this coffee (which tastes great) AMAZON has thrown the loose coffee packets in to a plain brown cardboard box, tapped it close, and sent me the coffee in that. Last time I was upset so I called Starbucks and they claimed it was Amazon re-packaging it. When I called Amazon, they had no explanation. It's obviously AMAZON doing this, so I'm warning you in this review NOT to buy it from AMAZON if you want it to come in the packaging it was meant to be in.

Absolutely love Starbucks Via Instant Coffee! Love this product, disappointed with packaging. When selecting this item to purchase, one would think product received would mimic products purchased in local grocery stores and as advertised/marketed. The product was received in a cardboard type box with labels suggesting its a Starbucks product. I did not expect item to be received as packaged because it leads one thinking I'm purchasing a product from another person who is reselling it on Amazon. While this may or may not be the case, seller should ensure everything is disclosed in the description to avoid purchaser feeling misled. The other issue is the quick Sell by date. In most cases, these products do not normally carry a 30 day use by date on it. Again, another point that leads one to believe the product is a resale item and not the original product from manufacturer. I gave this a 4 star rating because the coffee is perfect for one who wants Starbucks to go wherever you are without the hassle of locating a physical store. Great product disappointed with misled packaging of product.

I use Starbucks instant every morning because it’s easy and I can adjust to my taste. It’s as good as fresh brew in my opinion. I ordered these to take on a trip so I could make the coffee I like on the go

Nice dark deep unadulterated coffee flavor that amazed me coming from an instant. I also use it as a flavor enhancement for run-of-the-mill cafes while traveling domestically. I will note that I am not a Starbucks customer otherwise.

This is my go to coffee every day. I don’t want or need anything else they are just that good. I turn on my electric kettle, open two packets (I like my coffee super dark-practically espresso (does not taste like burnt coffee), add half packet of sweetener and three tablespoons of nondairy creamer, and when the water is ready add about 10 ounces of water, and stir with electric frother. Heaven. My guests like one packet 8ozs of water and whatever version of sweetener/creamer they want and they always drain their cup! The Italian is the darkest. The French is not as much. It’s so easy to use, easy to travel with (I pack them for every trip)(because the packets are so small they take up no room), smooth as silk and smells delicious. I am not happy unless I’ve had my via coffee. Thanks Starbucks! I look forward to my coffee everyday. Sometimes more!!

I caffè solubili hanno sempre e comunque un non so che di "acquoso", cosa che non si verifica con questo prodotto che ho avuto modo di provare negli states e al quale mi sono affezionato per il gusto forte e deciso.

I love this coffee. Unlike many instant coffees, this has a very realistic flavour. Definitely “full bodied”. When I lived in near a large town in the north of England, I had access to three local Starbucks. However, having moved to the “sticks”, the nearest one is 30 miles away! So, being able to get this online is great. I buy this regularly and delivery is prompt

La data di scadenza era a poco più di un mese dopo avere fatto ordine. Unico, ma grande secondo me, problema. Occorre includere i dettagli sulla scadenza di questi prodotti nella descrizione.

Much as I like Starbuck's Instand Dark Italian roast, I was not used to the packaging that showed up. The packages of 8 'tubes' of coffee are fine, but I've gotten used to 12 of those tubes in a package from a Startuck's coffee outlet. The format of the packages I just received from ebay seems different, too. I'm suspecting they might be packages that have been stored for a long time. I don't know.
