I tried this and it tastes like Folgers. Now Starbucks has gone full circle. From good coffee to “Charbucks” to instant coffee. Oh my.

Sadly I can’t get to try it yet here in England. I think the trouble with advertising now is that there’s an idea it’s not enough to sell the product, you have to sell a ‘lifestyle’. Oliver James says some interesting stuff about this in his book ‘Affluenza’ (though be warned the book is a bit long-winded!)

I’m looking forward to trying as well.

You’re absolutely right. Not instant…instant is a terrible slogan. They should definitely call you!
