don't knock it till you try it, perez.
and, this is a billion dollar industry around the world. in the UK instant coffee is more prominent. if starbucks can make bad instant coffee taste better, than hellz to the yeah. regardless, a french press black coffee is the best ever.
Wow they must be really hurting…I mean the God of coffee making instant .. that is by all intesive purpose a sacrilage to all that starbucks has preached about coffee all these years
whats so bad about that? sounds like something worth trying
Re: Aluriaphin – i was wondering that too! where is everyone??? probably off doing dirty things on this happy little valentines day
I dunno, instant coffee is really popular in Greece. I think it might work.
AdAge: Starbucks declined to comment on the launch, which is said to be a long-term pet project of CEO Howard Schultz and as such will get a significant marketing push. The instant product has been many years in the making and is designed to mimic the taste of store-bought Starbucks — the point the company is expected to make in its marketing for the brand.

Me: I'll try it, thanks. 'Declined comment' because it was leaked. Fire a few people, things get out!

bitch, pia is a name and its awesome, don't diss
I so agree. This truly could be the death knell for Starbucks. Who does their R&D? I can't believe any Starbucks customer would be clamouring for an Instant Coffee. They sold us on the ambience of going into a Coffee Shop to experience freshly brewed, higher end coffees and now they turn to Instant??
This should be a huge assist to Independent Coffee Houses as well as Peet's and Caribou.
Yeah you are just bitter cause you are not allowed to get into Starbucks… poor lil you…
You guys leave really stupid comments. As an emp[loyee of the Java Giant, I can prsonally say that the instant coffee is a pet project of Howie's. It's been in the works for the past 20 years, and it's an instant coffee for people on the go that may not have the time to swing by starbucks or for when they forget to brew coffee. Some of you guys are morons. Do a little research.
Well, in Sweden Via is the name of a laundry detergant…Just sayin
Sbux sux; but it tastes delicious.
American yuppies are curled up on streets across the nation, writhing in agony, with cinnamon dolce latte withdrawal pains as our economy tanks and they discover that they can no longer afford Starbuck's overpriced foo-foo swill.
