New Instant Coffee from Starbucks
For the past two weeks here in Seattle, Starbucks stores have been passing out sample packs of VIA, their new instant coffee. I tried my first cup last week and tweeted my thoughts: it was surprisingly good.
VIA started as an idea 20 years ago and is now a retail reality; a very good tasting reality. As I type this I’m enjoying a cup of the Italian Roast with a bit of International Delight vanilla creamer. It’s almost as good as french press.
I’ve always pressed coffee at 4 minutes. What is the beans-to-water ratio you use?
I wonder if I’m not pressing coffee the best way possible. And you are a Seattle native, so if anyone knows, you know. Right?
