| 26 of 26 people found the following review helpful  Perfect summer treat!, By Blumbriel (NJ) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Starbucks VIA® Iced Coffee by Starbucks Coffee (Misc.) I'm a huge fan of iced coffee, but I don't own a coffee pot. I recall trying Starbucks VIA in stores a few months ago, and the barista telling me that it could dissolve in cold water or milk (unlike normal instant coffees), and tucked it away in the back of my head to try it this summer. I was pleasantly surprised when Starbucks came out with the VIA Iced Coffee packages, mostly because it was designed for a 16 oz serving and lightly sweetened with sugar (100 calories in the entire packet, 50 calories for an 8 oz serving). I add it directly to 16 oz of skim milk, add a little extra sweetener, and shake it all up in a water bottle. It's delicious! It has the classic Starbucks coffee flavor, without being overly bitter, because the coffee hasn't been brewed. It dissolves almost instantly, sugar and coffee and all, in COLD liquid, with no residue or sediment at the bottom.At $1.00 a packet, it's not cheap - but it is cheaper than getting an iced coffee at Starbucks, and...

Initially I was a fan of Starbucks VIA Iced Coffee. It's convenient, it's tasty, and it's an affordable alternative to an in-store iced coffee. However after taking the product home, I was shocked to discover just how much sugar it contains. The first thing you notice when emptying the packet into a cup is the huge amount of white granules staring back at you.Each VIA packet contains 22g of sugar, and just 4.6g of coffee! This is the equivalent of SIX packets of sugar! Starbucks says each VIA is two servings, meaning 11g of sugar each, but you're likely to have the whole thing (14-16oz with water) in one sitting. That's 100 empty Calories (more if you're adding cream). PROS: Quick, tasty. CONS: Too much sugar, slightly bitter/burnt taste. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: Starbucks needs to either cut the sugar content in half, or make a "light" version using Splenda or Stevia as a sweetener. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful No Need for Milk Now, By This review is from: Starbucks VIA® Iced Coffee by Starbucks Coffee (Misc.) I tried a sample of this in Starbucks a few days ago. I was surprised when they said exactly what it was. I bought a package of it and drink it occasionally. I love that I don't have to add milk or creamer. I can drink it black and it's just the right sweetness. It dissolves instantly in cold water with no grinds left behind. I think any coffee drinker should try it at least once. It's very good! |
