Starbucks Via: A Consumer Product Review and Observation
Over Christmas, someone gave me some Starbucks Via coffee packs. (Thanks Janice!) Up until then, I had not tried this variation of Starbucks coffee.
I like the easy, quick way one can create their own coffee drink from these little packs by just pouring it into a cup and adding hot water.
And as far as pricing goes, it pans out O.K.. The packs I personally bought were $10 for 12 individual packs of coffee.
It’s a wee bit cheaper than hitting up the Starbucks location every morning, but the coffee is a bit weaker. But it’s better than the coffee provided at work, and being a bit weaker, it’s less acidic. That’s important to folks with sensitive stomachs but are still addicted to caffeine.
Interesting Observations
In the stand-alone stores, you get 6, 10 or 12 pack packages.
In the grocery stores, they’ve been offering 8-count packs, but for more than the 10-packs sell for.

BUT
Beware in the grocery store. I’ve been seeing packs with their seal tape broken and instead of 8 individual packs in the package, there’s only a few packs because some cheap, sad statement of humanity has to steal their coffee.
