I buy instant coffee for 2 reasons, not because I like it per se. First it is convenient and the job I am currently at doesn't have brewed coffee available. Second is because it is cheaper. Buying even simple coffee daily at a convience store adds up.
So when I saw Starbucks has an instant coffee, I was excited. Then I saw it was only 8 packs. Now I debated it as it was on sale but the price was vexing. $7.99 on sale $5.99  I ended up buying Nescafe Tasters Choice 100% Columbian. $3.19 for 20 packs. Has anyone had the Starbucks instant? Was it any good? Was it worth the money? |

I almost always drink instant coffee, as it's easy - my friends tease me that I'm a coffee slob. I'll buy the starbucks when it's on sale, but I don't think it's worth the price.

I'm not fond of instant coffee, but drink it once in awhile. The morning I got up and discovered the coffee maker had died I was VERY happy I had instant in the house.
I've never had Starbuck's instant, but I feel like everything at Starbuck's is overpriced. Could you have a small coffee maker where you work? I have a little 4 cup maker in my office that I use. |

I'm pretty sure the starbucks coffee isn't the usual 'instant' persay. It s coffee ground extremely finely and actually brews in your cup of hot water. It is not rehydrated pre brewed coffee like products like Nescafe.

I may be able to have a small pot but it seems a bother. I may try this coffee

I never liked Starbucks at all. Never got the hype.
I love coffee and some instant coffee is good others are awful. I am a big fan of Bustello.

I so want a single-brew coffeemaker. They're expensive, though.

Around here, in the morning I go for the old school Java brew. I normally buy Taylors, or Bewleys.
I used to have a moka pot, but now I find it easier to boil water in a kettle and pour over the powder in a caffetiere. Give it five minutes and it's good to go. In the afternoon I drink Kenco Milicano for instant coffee. Two sugars, 3/4 of a mug of milk, boil it in the microwave, then add a full teaspoon of the stuff. Nice...  I can't drink proper coffee all day, it burns a hole in my stomach

I haven't had any Bewley's in years and I love it.
I have friends going to Ireland next month. I'm going to ask them to bring some back for me.

Well, I AM a fan of Starbucks. The via packets are handy for popping into a pocket or purse. I admit I'm biased though - I'm a certified coffee sommelier

I can't drink coffee. I can't ever even drink caffeinated drinks anymore. Makes my IBS rage out of control.
However, I do risk it for low caffeine filled tea. I just love a good tea. Starbucks makes good tea... Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk.

some excellent suggestions.
I have already now tried Bustello. I cannot believe it was only a dollar for six packets! I did break down and get the instant Starbucks and it is very good. I won't get it unless I have the money though |
