Do you like or would you buy instant starbucks coffee?

No, I wouldn't. Instant coffee doesn't really have a good flavor. I would try it if I was given a free sample or something, but it would have to be pretty good for me to buy it. Not to mention the fact that it would probably be overpriced, and who wants to overpay for instant coffee when you can get the real thing.
Asker's Rating:
• You would need to try it first of course, and instant coffee is made from the lowest quality of coffee beans. The coffee is dehydrated into the form of powder granules and made to have an extended shelf life only in dry conditions.

The taste is usually bitter and there is less caffeine.

This really does not replace real, freshly brewed coffee.

Nice answer.

Thanks!

I'd be happy to try it. After that, whether I drink it again depends on whether it is actually any good, and how it compares in taste and price to other premium instant coffees.

Things like this are fine for a decent cup of coffee with minimal hassle:

Instant coffee can be good, it depends on who makes it. I would like to try it, and if it's fairly priced I would try it out.

I would definately buy it. I know it isn't as good as their fresh coffee but i'm sure it would still be good.

I have actually tasted Starbucks Instant coffee, branded as VIA-Ready Brew. As far as premium soluble coffees are concerned, it holds up well. It comes in 2 varieties, Columbia Roast, the weaker of the two, to my palette it was not discernible from ordinary instant coffee; and the, Italian Roast, which has the robustness and flavor that you would expect from freshly ground Italian roast coffee.

To coffee purists, it probably will not pass muster, but for others who sometimes see coffee merely as a caffeine delivery instrument, VIA-Ready Brew is a good method to get a reasonably well favored cup, anywhere, anytime. In my opinion, it is a good stand by to have around, at home or office.

Before I close, allow me to inform you of one more detail regarding this instant coffee. When it is used to prepare one of the frozen coffee recipes that Starbucks provides for it, it really delivers. The recipes are at the link below.

The mocha malted milkshake is mmmmmm delicious!
