Love the VIA, I have packets of it in my car, office and home of course. It is great to have a great cup of coffee in seconds, when I'm on the run (to meetings, errands, etc)
It is a life savers and everyone single person I know when ever tried it once is hooked on it as well. My inlaws were visiting from Hong Kong last month and absolutely love it, I bought 4 of the 50 counts boxes to send to them in Hong Kong.

Family enjoys brewing a pot of Starbucks in the morning... it is the only coffee we use at home. Via, however, provides a great alternative when I want a quick cup late afternoon or evening. They also are my 'GO-TO' item whenever we are traveling. Easy to pack, transport, and fill the need for a good cup of coffee not provided in restaurants and/or hotel/motels. We always have both regular and decaf Via on hand.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Italian Roast is my all-time favorite coffee ever. Simply delicious is all I can say. The best. To make workday mornings a little easier I now make Via at home and use two packets in my 14-oz commuter mug. So I really like that Via can be purchased in larger quantities now like the 50-pack. Hope Starbucks will offer an even larger quantity in the future - also how about making them available at the retail stores? I'd like to get the rewards points as well...

Being retired I do not get out everyday so the Via Italian roast is perfect for those mornings I sleep in. I love the coffee from the store of course but I know I can always get that super cup of Starbucks rain or shine.

I enjoy the Italian Roast as a something I pour from my French press. Now with the instant I can make a cup in a flash when I am in a hurry or when I do not want the several cups my press makes. And friends making an unexpected visit . . . will find a cup of French Roast in a flash at my place.

Via, in general, is the best instant coffee I've ever tasted, and I find the Italian Roast to be the best out of Via. If you like strong coffee with a rich taste and bold flavor, this is for you. It mixes well in hot water and, if you make it hot and then decide to chill it, it also makes a nice iced coffee. The 50-count is a pretty good deal. It's cheaper per packet then I've been able to find in any of my local stores. Since it's instant, it keeps for a long time too.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This coffee is terrific! I add hazelnut syrup and cream for a decadent dessert coffee to sip and relax.
Being able to purchase it in the 50 serving size was a bonus.
If you enjoy a cup of bold tasting coffee you will adore this one!

I am a morning person and require my coffee first thing. To prevent being disappointed with hotel room coffee, I always carry Starbucks VIA. Just use the in room coffee maker to heat the water and soon you will be enjoying a " real" cup of coffee. I like dark roast and Starbucks Italian is my favorite.

I love my Starbucks! Finding it when traveling is often a problem. I always pack VIA Ready Brews to have on hand in flight, on the road, in hotel rooms. They get me through until I can stop into a Starbucks, or brew my own at home.
Yes, VIA is instant and not as great as a fresh brewed cup, but I still get a good cup of coffee when there are no other options.
Yes, I recommend this product.
