    Former New York Giant Tiki Barber with a taller than he is and quite pretty blond in Starbucks at Astor Place/Cooper Square at 12:45pm. Tiki was looking cool and relaxed in grey flannels and a beige sweater with matching newsboy cap.

    I think I am having a flashback when I first discovered flavored coffee via General Foods International coffee. Who amongst us didn't have a serious hazelnut habit in 1995? As an unsophisticated rube, I had no clue that I was drinking glorified hot cocoa with a small twist of java. I refuse to turn back the hands of time with this bold attempt to sucker me back into the instant caffeine generation. I may be broke, but do I look stupid to you?!

    I just tried this. It tasted like motor oil. And not good motor oil.

    I quit coffee a year and a half ago. I encourage everyone to do the same. No more mood swings and a fatter wallet.

    I'm going to put this instant coffee in the microwave and go back in time to a place before Starbucks.

    Because when you want to define yourself by the overpriced burnt coffee you buy, you want it instantly.

    I submit that this is a way to finally do away with all that Tall and Grande business, because really, who didn't feel like an asshole whenever they went there and said, "Yes, I'd like a Tall cinnamon mocha-la-douche-i-otta with extra skim foam fresh from a baby calf's knee caps, extra hot and whiny, inside a second cup, because it's my duty to waste paper, and obviously the little cardboard carry-satchel isn't strong enough to support my Tall nuclear caffiene addiction."

    Yeah, now you can do this in the privacy of your own home, and maybe you'll invest in one of those overly attractive hot/cold coffee canisters that are so fashionable on the New Jersey PATH, ripe for the suburban "Mom On The Go!" Exactly what every elitist Starbucks person seeks when they order anything skim.

    I don't know if it's the exact same as the office Starbucks instant machine they have here at my workplace, but if it is, then yup, it takes just like regular Starbucks - burned and nasty.

    Two can play that game. I've secretly replaced my US government issued money with Monopoly money and metal slugs. Let's see if Starbucks notices.

    I had a roommate who mixed instant coffee with milk and raw sugar. No water. Sounds grosss, but it was delish.

    @PamBeesley: As a longtime Nescafe fan, I approve this comment. The above recipe is delicious (I am assuming that you mean hot milk, which is how I make it.) Also good? Double strong Nescafe (made with water) with some sweetened condensed milk.

    I realize I am an abomination. Just walk on by.

    Yeah, it's impertinent to disagree with all the well-paid guys who made this call, but I'm with HamNo. How the hell do you slap a Starbucks logo on this? Do you even care about the brand?

    Maybe you should TASTE Starbucks Via before bagging on it? And, while it's less than a regular cup of coffee, it's hardly dirt cheap. Depending on whether you buy a 3 pack or a 12 pack you're paying $.75-$.99 for 8 ounces of coffee. A Grande 16 ounce Starbucks brewed coffee is around $1.75-$2.00, so you're maybe saving pennies by choosing VIA. The main push for VIA is to get it into grocery stores and emphasize convenience and quality. You think Starbucks is going to lose money on this? Maybe they should pull bottled Frappuccino's from stores because it cuts into their blended Frappuccino profits. Get real. The bottom line is that if it tastes good people will buy it. And it tastes really, really good.
