I use this in the evening for my cup of enjoyment. My only problem is I do not like the grit left in the bottom of the cup and that is why there is a loss of one star.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am consistently impressed with this Via product. I have a hard time finding dark decaf in whole beans to brew at home, so this is a fantastic alternative. It's especially great for traveling - no more bitter hotel room coffee!
Thank you Starbucks and VIA!!

This coffee is amazingly good! It has a full, robust flavor and doesn't taste like decaf or instant at all. It tastes as good as coffee your barista would make at your local Starbucks. I highly recommend it.

I love all the via products I have tried. Where I work I don't always have access to coffee but there is plenty of hot water and the via products give me the flavor I'm looking for. It tastes more "brewed" than instant. My only thought... I wish there were more decaf options. Try some and enjoy!

This is a great coffee--smooth, low acid, very tasty. Why doesn't it come in bags like the regular blend? Why only VIA?

This is the best instant coffee ever and I'm glad it comes in decaf. Love the flavor. Purchased some regular instant as well. This is great for backpacking. Takes up no space at all and is light as a feather! It was recommended by some backpacker friends and I'm glad they called my attention to it. Keep up the good work!

I haven't been a fan of instant coffee for years; however, i thought I"d give Via a try. Wow, what a surprise! It had great body and flavor. Actually it tasted better than many restaurants Decaf coffee.
So, in the evening when I have a craving for a cup of Decaf, Via is it.

This is the best tasting, easy to make instant cofee I've ever had. You simply put the microground cofee in an 8 oz. mug and fill it with hot, or previously boiling water. It's great!
