Starbucks announced today that they are going to start selling instant coffee! Yea, times is hard but have some dignity!
Here’s my two cents: People who drink instant coffee are only doing it for the caffeine ’cause seriously folks….you surely aren’t doing it for the taste.
My suggestion: Pop two Excedrin with a chaser of Red Bull.
Keep coffee sacred!

But since I work in an office that’s full of Via (the Starbucks instant) samples, I can tell you that everybody here says it’s surprisingly good.
Only currently available for sale in Chicago, though. Sorry.
Hi Naomi,
Interesting. But…I stand by my “bleckh.”
I’d be curious to know if their “surprisingly good” comment means “surprisingly inoffensive” in comparison to Folgers.
I’d also love to know if anyone who commented in the positive is any sort of coffee aficionado or drinks a Direct-Trade coffee in order to compare. Could you please ask? I’m very curious about this. Thanks for weighing in!
Evidently, the instant stuff is not that bad. Check out this blog.

Me? I’m still caffeine-free and loving my K-cup machine and stock of Decaf Caribou.
