Disgusting Warning: Starbucks VIA

[shovenose]

So, they had these on trial for $1 at Starbucks yesterday I was there anyway so I picked one up, to try one. 

Specifically it was this type:

Tried it this morning. NASTY! Absolutely disgusting. Do not try or buy this product.

As a gold starbucks card member, I have to agree. I never was a big fan of their VIA stuff.

You know you're supposed to use a single serving and not add an extra serving every minute, right?

Me too. But I can't believe they didn't have somebody taste test this product? I mean, if it just wasn't good, that's one thing. But it was just plain disgusting :'(

And Aldryic, I use a single packet which is a single serving.

Ewww, coffee.

 

[TruvisT]

Ewww, coffee.

But they do more then just coffee!

Never been a fan of Starbucks' offerings anyway but I'll make to avoid it, thanks. I generally prefer Costa which we have over here in the UK.

Ewww, coffee.

The easiest way to acquire a taste for coffee, in my opinion, was to ease into it via a bunch of coffee-heavy stouts

Haha StarBucks..... What a waste of money that place is.

Starbucks and Costa <3 Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino <3 

 

[Aldryic C'boas]

Perhaps I should have worded it "cron an additional serving every minute".

OT:  Not a fan of hipster coffee at all.  Anything other than straight black is too over-flavoured for me.

Yeah, all about Costa. Never liked Starbucks.

No love for Dunkin's coffee?

Its not about the place where coffee is served. Really, sometimes the best coffee places are the ones hidden in some spooky ally

If you're ever some place that does actual coffee, as opposed to the brown muck that places like Starbucks serve, try a cold drip.

I prefer a Nespresso Livanto, as soon as I walk into the office

Not a Starbucks fan either (at least not of their coffee).

When I drink coffee, it's typically from a pub or a mom'n'pop style setup, like a small donut shop or something.  Somewhere that I know it's coming out of of a coffee pot and not some fancy machine.

Starbucks is just not good anyway.  I've gotten spoiled by coffee here in Sweden.
