Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee: RVer Coffee Solution

Starbucks VIA instant coffee is an RVer's coffee solution which has brought our favourite beverage out of the dark ages. RVing in Mexico means packing in all one's favourite foods which may not be found at the destination. If you haven't brought along enough of your favourite coffee, you are at the mercy of the less than agreeable options left to you in Mexico.

 

Mexico exports all of its best coffee beans, and leaves us to languish at their 'instant' offerings.  In our restaurant experience while RVing in Mexico, an order for coffee (especially decaf) is answered by the plunk of a jar of instant on the table. A cup with hot water and a spoon soon follow and voila…your coffee is served. If sugar is a health problem for you, the brands of instant in Mexico often have sugar hidden in the ingredients.

 

Starbucks VIA instant coffee is the perfect RVer coffee solution. Keep a few packets in your purse or pocket and look forward to a great cuppa at your whim.

 

The Starbucks VIA product comes in a version to make an iced coffee (with sugar added in the packet already), and both caffeinated and decaffeinated versions for hot coffee. Just rip, pour, and stir.   

  

I have found that if one wants to enjoy an iced coffee, it's not necessary to buy the 'iced coffee' packet. The regular smaller packets dissolve nicely in cold water as well, with the added benefit of no hidden sugars.  Just dissolve the packet in a half-glass of water, stir, and add ice to fill. 

 

As you can tell by my mug…already a big Starbucks fan! We always keep a stock of the Starbucks VIA instant coffee around, especially when RVing in Mexico!
