Starbucks VIA Packet Is Too Small

Okay, so I don’t follow directions when it comes to Starbuck’s new ready brew (instant) coffee called VIA. Instead of pouring the contents of the packet into a cup then adding hot water, I start with hot water already in a cup.

But when you do that, often times the steam from the hot water will react with the VIA coffee, gunking up the mouth of the packet. Once that happens, it’s a hassle to get the VIA out of the packet, taking away the “instant” experience.

To make things simple, why not have a bigger/wider packet size? Oh look, others are complaining about this on the MyStarbucksIdea web site.
