Imagine my surprise when I received an email introducing Starbucks "instant coffee." Somehow, that just didn't seem right in the universe. How can something so simplistic originate from the company where a coffee order sounds like an exotic foreign language.Granted, their packaging of the new Via ready brew is more eye catching than the instant Folgers crystals I remember my mother drinking. But that taste! Absolutely horrid; how she could stand it was beyond me. The swill was so rock gut, you could feel it eating a hole in your stomach. I had to worry it might corrode the plumbing every time I dumped it out. Ugh!
But, in an effort to change our perception of instant coffee (it's hard for me to even write the words) and as a thank you for being brave enough to try it, Starbucks will send you a free sample. I'm waiting for mine and have no doubt it is improved upon. But just in case, I plan on drinking it next to a sink.
Until next time...
