Anyone Tried "Starbucks VIA Ready Brew Coffee"?

[Nitantnel]

I've heard that it literally replaces regular Starbucks coffee, true?

[LAXtraveler]

I don't know about replacing, but I use it on Shabbos as my instant coffee of choice.

What's the deal kashruswise?

Look at the package -- unflavored varieties are under the KSA

Pretty close to store brewed.

How does it compare to Keurig?

[Sowhat]

better. im not a big fan of keurig.

better. im not a big fan of keurig.

if you cant taste the difference between the via and regular brewed coffee or keurig then you probably wont be able to tell the difference between tasters choice and via in a blind taste test

I actually prefer Keurig over Starbucks brewed coffee. The coffee I get in Starbucks usually tastes burnt! I'm not saying all Starbucks tastes burnt all the time, its just my personal experience/luck.

No comparison between taster's choice and via, but you'll pay for it.  Via is as close to brewed as you will ever get for instant.  Check out amazon for bulk buys.  I haven't purchased, but I've seen it.

This was my next question, so Amazon bulk is the way to go?

Sowhat - SOrry to take off topic, but try Barista Prima K-cups before you swear off Keurig.  IMHO, they are by far the best K-Cups out there.  Italian Roast is great!  I have had very lackluster impressions of virtually all other K-Cups.  Their Italian Roast still tastes robust on the 10 oz cup setting.  Aside from the roasting, beans, etc., if you look at the package, there is more coffee in their K-cups (by weight).
