First off, it's a well-known fact that I don't like Starbucks coffee (well-known to me and about 1.5 other people).  It's strong and burnt and makes my stomach feel like it's full of acid.  Regardless, I gave their VIA instant coffee a try and came to a frighteningly quick conclusion:  It sucks.  It's awful.  It tastes like dirt.  And not because it tastes like Starbucks coffee.  Because it tastes like bad coffee. #food
