Smooth, smooth, smooth!
Love, love, love this Starbucks instant coffee. I don't drink instant coffee, as the few times I have tasted it, there was simply no comparison to ground. The only reason I gave this a try was because of the brand and the fact that I had a $3.00 coupon for it.
It has now become my favorite, such that I often times prefer it over coffee made in my Keurig (and I love coffee made in Keurig). It is so smooth, not acidic, by any means, and has such good flavor. In fact, if someone served it to me, I would have no idea that it is instant coffee. I have gifted it to many others, as, chances are, they are not going to buy an instant coffee on their own, especially at the price. Not only that, not all stores carry it.
Regarding the price, it sells at Meijer for $10.49; the cheapest sale price I have seen there is $6.99, but usually $7.49-$8.99. However, others must have also discovered this coffee, because when it goes on sale, the shelves are empty, and you can't get it.
This is what led me to getting it online. I prefer the dark roast, but I had not found it cheap enough, so I gave the medium roast a try. It too is good, thus the above rating; however, if the dark roast became available at a reasonable price, I would definitely stock up.
I love this coffee so much, that I not only have it at home, but have a tin at work and in my vehicle at all times. I HIGHLY recommend...and if you don't care for a bold taste, there is a light roast (Blonde, I have never tried).
