Love this great-tasting product and the portable nature of the VIA concept in general. Great to take camping or anywhere the availability of palatable coffee is in question.
I am a long time Starbucks fan and I have tried lots of their great coffees. They are all good. I just tried the rare Colombian and it was smooth and flavorful, but I keep coming back to my favorite Pike Place...to me it is the best coffee SB makes, bar none. Smooth but with complex after tones, very flavorful but really crisp, not thick tasting and strong. I should just stop trying others because I really like old Pike Place.....a wonderful cup of coffee!
