## Description

The coffee you love is ready when you are with VIA instant coffee packets from Starbucks. This is the quintessential Starbucks dark roast—expertly crafted to bring out sweetness and intensity. It showcases the precision and skill of our roasters, who created a coffee that's slightly darker than our Espresso Roast without the smoky edge of French Roast. A great cup of coffee, it has a depth of flavor that holds its own with cream and sugar. Nestlé uses Starbucks trademarks under license. © 2025 Starbucks Coffee Company. NET WT 0.93 OZ (26.4 g)

Review: Nice instant coffee in packets perfect for travel - I use Starbucks instant every morning because it’s easy and I can adjust to my taste. It’s as good as fresh brew in my opinion. I ordered these to take on a trip so I could make the coffee I like on the go
Review: Great-Tasting Instant Coffee for Dark Roast Lovers! - Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee, Italian Roast, is a game-changer for anyone who loves bold, full-bodied coffee but doesn’t always have time to brew a fresh cup. Here’s what I think after trying it: Flavor: The Italian Roast has a rich, robust taste with a hint of caramelized sweetness and a smoky finish. If you enjoy strong, dark roast coffee, this is right up your alley. It’s one of the best-tasting instant coffees I’ve had—far better than most store brands. Convenience: The individual packets are super easy to use. Just pour one into a cup, add hot water, stir, and you’re good to go! They’re perfect for busy mornings, work, travel, or camping trips. Quality: Made from 100% Arabica beans, the quality is impressive for instant coffee. It tastes pretty close to a fresh-brewed cup, though hardcore coffee purists might notice a slight difference. Packaging: The single-serve packets are convenient and stay fresh, but I wish the outer packaging was a bit more eco-friendly. Price: It’s a little pricier than other instant coffee options, but the flavor and quality make it worth it if you’re looking for something better than the usual. Overall: If you love a strong, flavorful coffee and need something quick and easy, Starbucks VIA Italian Roast is a great choice. Highly recommended for dark roast fans who want premium coffee on the go!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why cant I find the caffiene amount?**
A: This has got to have 200 mg of caffeine. It has KICK.  I also got Italian roast and it’s probably a hundred.  But both have a fantastic flavor.

**Q: What is the expiration date?**
A: Via packets expiration dates are one year according to Starbucks. Reality is taste doesn't diminish even after 5 years from my experience, and many experts say it will never expire if stored properly. The packets I received (came loose in shipping box) where 6 months old when received.

**Q: Anyone know why via verdana has doubled in price since may? starbucks, can you respond?**
A: Ah- inflation?

**Q: If I purchase the item today, 5/19/20, what is the expiration date for this item?  Thanks.**
A: The expiration date on the box I received is Nov 11, 2020.  Not sure if this date carries on to other boxes.  This was my first time purchase.
