I guess everything is better with sugar.

qotd? I occasionally drink iced coffee, but when I do I go to the extreme and add not only some caramel syrup, but also whole milk. I do not add sugar.

$5.95 for a 5 pack in the US. btw, the sugar isn’t really free in an iced coffee. As in the iced coffee costs more than hot. Not necessarily a huge fan of this, but just some info. I loved iced coffee…I don’t really like it super sweet.

Thank you for this review!
I do drink iced coffee more than hot coffee but I usually just add a sugar-free flavor, like vanilla, rather than adding sugar. I think I would still try this product, at least once.

I drink a ton of ice coffee living in TX, especially this time of year. I drink it with a packet of splenda about half the time, especially if its my parents bad coffee they drink. I’ve been having starbucks actually give a quad shot on ice which is pretty decent black. I would probably never buy this product since I avoid all things sugar in general.

Absolutely love this product! I was not a fan of the Via. I have already brought 3 packages. It is great for someone on the go. I think that with a touch of breve it is perfect. I personally drink my iced coffee lightly sweetened with 1/2 and 1/2! Great for someone on the road (which I drive 3 hours a day) I think that this by far is amazing for instant coffee.

Jason, Do you plan on doing a coffee tasting of Starbucks Summer Blend? I did one the other day with my Staff and would love to see your point of view!

After reading some of the various comments posted, props to you for being so open minded to products such as K-Cups and VIA. Even though I’m not a huge fan of the VIA line, I think people can learn a lot by watching these episodes. Keep doing what you do! I drink a decent amount of iced coffee since I do work at a coffee shop. In my opinion, I like iced coffee when its brewed with Toddy, a cold-water brewing process.

thanks so much for the constructive feedback really appreciated. Let me know if you ever want to see a specific review. I will be reviewing the toddy later this month.
