Re: Re: Via instant coffee deal

I've taken it to the Boundary Waters and other camping trips and usually get a turned up nose til they try it.  Local Wally World used to carry the packets till they expanded the mermaid line.  The bulk Classico is availabe most everywhere.  It is hygroscopic, so it needs to be keep in something air tight if unit dosing from the bottle.

Nescafe Classico, eh? For those not hooked on Via, it certainly looks interesting at that price.   I can get by with one Via Italian roast in a large 12-16 oz  mug, rather than one packet per 6-8 oz water.  I will have to keep watch for the Nescafe to compare them.  Taster's Choice turns my face red nearly instantly (no pun intended) with one packet and is only so-so.
 
Thanks!

A lot better than the $1 a pop. I landed on Nescafe Classico. Still pretty tolerable and better than other instants that I've tried. 8 packets for about $1.25.
just a thought
