Light flavor, interesting aroma
4 out of 5 stars
Light flavor, interesting aroma
I purchased this coffee because I’ve been drinking Starbucks VIA’s for years and I think it’s finally taking a toll on my stomach and I’m trying to get away from caffeine, however I love my morning coffee. This is much lighter than I’m used to compared to columbian roast. Usually with the via’s I could use one packet for my whole cup of coffee which obviously dilutes it, but that’s that flavor I’m accustomed to. So for my first try I used 2 packets (followed the directions) for my size of cup. The aroma is weird at first and then changes in to a nice almost sweet chocolaty aroma. Overall It’s an enjoyable coffee and inexpensive way for me(the only one in my house)to have my morning coffee. Hopefully the lower acidity will give my stomach a break.

    I cannot have caffeine. None. I am a generally sad person because of this, but I need to sleep and caffeine keeps me from sleeping. But I like coffee and I want to drink it. At home, no problem. I can find good ("good") decaf. But, when I travel I have a problem. Most of the world rightfully thinks that decaf coffee is an abomination, and thus it is not widely available. So, for a recent trip, I bought these little packets so I could enjoy my sad, fake coffee abroad. And... they are pretty good! They don't hurt my stomach. They don't taste sour or burned. The crystals dissolve easily. These are better than decent, and I would buy them again.

    I like coffee that tastes like coffee beans, not like emaciated grocery store brands from the Fifties. I’ve always thought Starbucks fresh coffee tastes “burnt” so I stopped going there in favor of “The Human Bean” in Phoenix. And after reading about the owner of Starbucks, I did this subjective taste test to try and find an instant I could live with to “instantly” move away from giving my money to Starbucks Via.

    In my comparison of five brands, I used one teaspoon of instant and ¾ cup of hot water in each brand, kept it just black, and tasted it hot. Next, I added one teaspoon of heavy cream and 10 drops of Sweet Leaf brand vanilla-flavored extract and tasted it hot. Then, I waited until it cooled to room temp and tasted it again. Here are my personal findings with 5 being “worst”:

    5. Waka Decaf – Slightly sour and brackish, tastes “instant” and gets worse as it cools. An absolute “no.” (1 packet per 8-10 oz.)
    4. Jacobs Espresso – Watery, thin, and so “smooth” as to be tasteless, and they have the nerve to call this “espresso”? (No English instructions I could find—I guess they didn’t think it was worth the bother—and they’re probably right.)
    3. Mt. Hagen Espresso – Also too smooth and lacking in taste, but has a wee more grunt and flavour than Jacobs. (1 packet per cup—I assume they mean 8 oz.)
    2. Café Bustelo Espresso – Definitely better than the others but still “middle of the road” when it comes to true bean flavour. At least it tastes like coffee, even when cool.
    1. Via Decaf Italian – IF you mix as instructed (1 packet per 8 oz.), it's too strong and has a slightly burnt taste . However, you can make a perfect travel mug of coffee by adding 16-20 ounces of hot water instead and just one packet of this very robust, powerful instant that actually tastes brewed. You also get two times more coffee for the money, via Via, because the packet makes such strong coffee.

    My tastebuds have failed to escape the Starbucks czar with this test, so maybe I should give those Fifties store brands another go.

    Rich coffee flavour that isn't just a monotone. Unfortunately I'm not a sommelier so I don't have the words to describe it, but I don't get the wakefulness jolt after drinking this, and I still get to enjoy a good enough cuppa at my own convenience. The packets are really helpful for portioning and for keeping the granules dry until use, so this is always in my pantry cupboard somewhere when I'm desperate for a pick me up without the wakefulness.

    Side note - wife swears by this as coffee flavouring for her bakes as well, and since it's decaf, it's also very good for kids' bakes.

    Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    Delicious, fairtrade, organic, non-chemically decaffeinated!
    Have to drink decaf now, and make a pourover each day, but, want a quick hot cup when I wake up, so I buy some instant as well. Have tried many instant decafs, this is by FAR, the best yet!
    Seems expensive at first, but actually costs about 60 cents per cup.
    It is convenient in the pre measured packs. I like my coffee strong and use a little over a cup of boiling water. It has a bold, rich, espresso like flavour.
    My son don't drink decaf, and also thinks it's delicious, so that says a lot!

    I think this is one of those examples where a product is packaged to make it seem larger than it is. If it was in a jar it would be a very small one. I don't like the fact that you can't adjust the amount without doubling it or leaving a partial package to go stale. It does have good taste, but not out of ordinary. But that's possibly just me, for others it may be great tasting ...
    I just feel like I'm being sold something that is less for the money. I suppose that if you only use a 250 mil cup it might have ok taste, but I use a mug and have to double up to get a good cup of coffee. It could be an alternative for someone who doesn't mind paying a premium price for decaf that has a little taste like coffee but not worth the money for me.
