I made some for the office - everyone who tried it raved about the aroma and taste! It doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste in your mouth after drinking a cup. I made another pot a few days later and everyone was excited and ran for their cups!

Seemed fresher than a store purchase; best by date 6 months from date received. Order arrived promptly. Fresh oil evident on whole beans - good overall taste.

I have received and used Starbucks House Blend long before Starbucks was on every corner in Denver. House plant has been an early-morning friend for well over 20 years or so it seems,a long time.. it's almost impossible to start my day without it.

This is my only Coffee drink for the last 25 years ,I might add the best aroma ever . Can't do without ,even travel with me all over the world ,may be I'm addicted to it? The only thing it's becoming very, expensive .

Had it once long time ago & like it very much ... It was fresh brewed! Not yet to try the VIA, but should not be much difference as Fresh Brew one based on Pike Place experiences. Will open it & try it soon.

We order and send to a friend who no longer can make ground coffee at her age of 91 but she can make boiled water and it works so well for her and her friends she loves it and we love her and we love starbuck and drink nothing else!!! Hugs J

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really liked the coffee! The smell and taste were just as expected, enjoyed every sip I took. Would buy soon #ad #freesample

I really like the House Blend K-Cups. It makes ridiculously good coffee. I am drinking a cup this fine Sunday morning as I write this review. I would like to purchase the Cafe Verona K-Cup online as well, but I couldn't seem to find it on the site.

We take packets backpacking and traveling. Via is hands-down the Best instant coffee and not just better than instant crystals but delicious to drink!

Have not tried yet, but had it before when in Portland at a Starbucks coffee shop and liked it. Just got mine in a shipment of coffee I ordered and haven't opened it yet.
