Starbucks VIA Instant Pike Place Roast Medium Roast Coffee (1 box of 8 packets)

Came in as expected. Great taste perfect for on the go.

did the instructions and it tasted a bit funny and not as enjoyable as i thought it would be

This is my #1 morning go-to coffee at the office. It's convenient and delicious. To me, it tastes exactly like brewed coffee. I doubt I could tell the difference.However, it's not always in stock through Amazon Prime Pantry. Amazon HQ is in Seattle. Starbucks HQ is in Seattle. How hard could it be to keep this in stock?Are ya tryin' to kill me, Amazon?! I need muh coffee! Keep this in stock, please! Don't MAKE me to to QFC!

I've been trying out different mix-ins over the past 15 years. Some are hit or miss, some don't hold up on successive uses, some should never be made again! This one is closer to a hit! The grains remain when made as is -- all the ones I have tried are like this, and if you use more water, you definitely sacrifice taste. What makes this a winner is that the taste is quite satisfying, and helps turns a bland bottled water into a cheap and palette pleasing party.

Love this product so much. Getting harder to find it in stores or at Starbucks. Very convenient to use. Great natural ingredients. Just a bit of caffeine. Low calorie. Very refreshing. Easy to take with you on the go. It does take a bit of vigorous stirring to get the product dissolved as an FYI.

Imagine with me. Climbing Mt. Hood, exhausted, tired, sore… and finally getting to camp, gathering sticks, making a campfire, boiling water…. And pulling your instant Starbucks packet from your heavy backpack (lightening the load) and making the most refreshing cup of Joe you ever had. Wow. Perfection.

I regularly buy 6 boxes each time. I like it better than the strawberry lemonade, just personal preference. I was shocked by the one star reviews, of course one expected it to tase like coffee, one expect it to be water enhancers, kind of strange, there was nothing misleading them, but of it was the product’s fault. About the fake sugar taste, it is not as bad as most of the diet drinks out there. I put one packet in my 32 oz water bottle, just right.

Having purchased Very Berry Hibiscus refreshers for a number of years, I buy them in bulk. While they do not match the flavor of the same beverage made fresh in the store, I like the flavor of the instant product. That is until this last batch. The flavor is awful. It is NOT the standard flavor for this product. I checked the date/lot code and sent a note directly to Starbucks. They did not seem interested in the issue and suggested I return the product to the seller. Obviously that will not happens, as Amazon Pantry will not accept returns on this product, which I understand. I would like to advise other unsuspecting costumers of this issue. Hopefully future lots of this product do not have this unpleasant flavor.
