Instant Starbucks

2009-02-13 00:12:03.463065+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Starbucks to begin selling instant coffee:

The company has been working on the product for more than 20 years and has a patent pending on the technology that will allow it to "absolutely replicate the taste of Starbucks coffee in an instant form," spokesman Vivek Varma said in an e-mail to employees.

They're going to take Folger's Instant Crystals and put 'em in a toaster oven, giving that dark smokey burned flavor.
