I use this to enhance my coffee. I like very strong coffee, so I add some of this to my Starbucks and the brew my wife makes. It gives the coffee a depth of flavor I am looking for. The Italian roast is a great coffee.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've been brewing the decaf version for months now and decided to try and spice up the mornings a little. The extra motivation actually enhances the enjoyment. This is my favorite Via blend.

I am a Starbucks barista and I highly recommend not only Italian roast VIA, but all of them. They are so realistic and don't have the nasty artificial taste that most instant coffees have. Dissolves perfectly fine.

While it was a great tasting coffee that you never would have guessed as being instant coffee, it had one main issue. I wanted a stronger coffee, so I got this because it was labeled extra bold, but i thought it was too weak. I would still buy it again if I didn't want a stronger cup of coffee.

VIA coffee is great! If your in a hurry for a cup of coffee this is it. Just wish it weren't so expensive.
I have taken them on our road trips. Also, the Blonde sample I received was very good. Good flavor.

My wife drinks this every day. Personally, I don't care for it, but it's her daily office life blood. :)
The packaging isn't terribly sturdy though. A couple of the boxes we ordered arrived crushed.

I live in an area where there is'nt a Starbuck's, at least for 25 miles. I work on third shift and it's tough to get decent coffee at 3am in the morning. Starbuck's VIAs are excellent! I take them with me to work and use them at home!

I have been a big fan of Via for quite some time now. I was able to purchase two twelve packs at a very good price during the Christmas sale. I enjoyed a cup on Christmas eve, and I am still amazed at how good a cup of instant coffee can taste! I will continue to be a fan, hopefully for many years. Viva, Via!

I love strong coffee and Via fits the bill. If I am not able to grind and brew this is the next best thing. I have the travel cup that stores packs of VIA and it is great. And now with winter creeping in, a cup of VIA and an instant hot cocoa mix is a delight. I always have VIA on hand and always will. I love the stuff.

I am a serious coffee snob - having spent many years in Melbourne Australia, a well known home to great coffee.
I have always flatly refused to drink instant coffee as it is disgusting, but this coffee is better than most brewed coffees, yet alone instant! Give it a try... you wont be disappointed
