Viva Via

I was playing around on Fat City’s Twitter page yesterday and feeling like a nap when the UPS man arrived bearing gifts. Caffeinated gifts! Specially, a package from Starbucks containing Via, the company’s new instant coffee. When Starbucks announced it was releasing Via last month, I wasn’t the only one criticizing the decision.

I said something to the effect that all instant coffee is crap. Well Via’s Italian Roast and Colombia are not crap. They’re good. Damn good. Better than the real cup of drip-coffee I made yesterday.

First and foremost, Via does not taste like any other instant coffee.
