- Did You Know?
It doesn't matter where you are – on a camping trip, a boat or even at the office – it's always easy to make a cup of Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew. Just follow these steps to instant satisfaction and a perfect cup of coffee.

Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.
All Starbucks VIA® coffees are made with the same quality coffee beans as our whole bean coffees and are also produced under the guidelines of our C.A.F.E. (Coffee and Farmer Equity) Practices.
