Weigh-in On Starbucks New Via Instant Coffee

While waiting in line for my bi-weekly venti, non-fat, pumpkin-spiced latte sans whipped cream, I was offered to try a shot-sized sample of Starbucks' new vanilla instant coffee. Although I'm not a huge fan of instant coffee, I decided to give it a try. It smelled like real coffee and upon first sip it tasted like real vanilla-flavored coffee too. However, it was a bit strong and possibly stale, which could be the cause for my acid-reflux now ten hours later.




My final verdict: Although I'd like to give Starbucks' Via Instant Coffee a good rating, I have to give it only two out of ten stars.
