Hey, Starbucks lovers–and critics too! Have you taken the Starbucks Via Taste Challenge? The drip vs. instant coffee faceoff began this morning in Starbucks stores across North America.
If you want to know the science (it involves micro-grinding) behind Starbucks’ new instant, check out this story today by my Fortune tech-writer colleague Michael Copeland. He talked with Andrew Linnemann, Starbucks’ director of green coffee quality and operations, whose mission these past two years has been to make Via worthy of Starbucks branding.
The mission is incomplete, as I see it: I did my own taste tests earlier this week and gave Via lukewarm reviews. So, what do you think of Via?
