First, I am not a coffee snob. I use my Keurig with coffee pods and also instant coffee and I don't like strong coffee. I was becoming unhappy with the brand name instants I picked up at the grocery store. So I started a search and decided to give this selection a try. The first cup was enough to start me telling everyone in my family and at work what I had found. A smooth coffee with no bitterness (although I don't drink black coffee so can't say if it would be as smooth to all. I am in love with this brand and want to see if I can set up auto monthly purchases.

i have been a “coffee snob” since college - MANY YEARS AGO! That said, I have used Starbucks, and many drive up coffee spots. They all irritated my IBS! I was tired of waiting before heading out the door because of the “natural” side effects of most coffee’s. A friend (& a Dr.) recommended this brand while on vacation. I never tried freeze dried coffee. My perception had always been “that’s what my grandparent’s always used” and lacked in taste and freshness. I was the person that always purchased fresh coffee beans and ground them the morning of drinking coffee, hence, “coffee snob” as friends and family stated.I was beyond surprised at this delightful, aromatic and fresh tasting coffee! The other coffee's mentioned above always had a bitter or burnt taste. I would always add more sugar and creamer to offset the others which added calories and more sugar than needed just for counteraction. I use 1 packet per 8 ounce with a pinch of creamer and honey. It is better than any coffee I have had before - that is saying something. If I need more of a pick-me-up, I will put 2 packs in with about 12-14 ounces of hot water. I do use a kettle that heats up to boiling in less than a minute. The time saving of waiting for the coffee to finish brewing is another plus.I also was aware some were also sprayed with pesticides. I was always worried about this in particular due to the health implications. In my opinion, it is never too late to improve one’s health via nutrition. This brand is certified USDA organic. One taste and you can tell the difference between this coffee and others not organic.The other wonderful benefit is the ease of travel. It goes with me camping, vacationing or on work trips. This also offsets with my ability to “get out the door” quicker and not having the many restroom trips. There is absolutely zero negative effects on my bowels (no flip flopping or bubble guts). This goes without saying I get all the benefits of amazing coffee, ease of packets for travel and zero side effects with IBS irritation. 10/10 recommend!

Excellent item. We took them on tour with us so we could make coffee in the room before breakfast. Fine taste, indistinguishable from fresh brewed.

I finally received the correct Mount Hagen single serve Caffeinated Coffee packets (after 3 tries). In the previous two deliveries I was sent DE-Caffeinated packets- even though the advert did not indicate those were offered.

Instant coffee never tastes as good as fresh brewed, but as instant coffee goes this is really good. Light weight for my backpack and a good value.

8oz hot water, two of these and two milks in my mini thermos is a perfect go-cup of coffee for me.

I ALWAYS travel w/ these. No thank you to burnt airplace or watery restauarant coffee. I order hot water and make my own. I've officially turned into my Mother! LOL ;) It's GREAT coffee!

I usually purchase via for my morning latte. I dissolve the via in 1-2 oz hot water and add milk to fill a large glass for breakfast. Last month when I went to make my bi-yearly purchase of via (usually a mixture of Pike Place and Colombian) the price had spiked, and I went looking for an alternative. This coffee tastes ok, but it takes 2.5-3 sleeves to get it to the strength of a single via sleeve. If I were drinking it as coffee I would probably prefer that, but it is not working for my lattes.
