Verve Coffee RoastersCraft Instant Coffee Bronson Blend | French Dark Roast, Ground, Hand-Roasted | Enjoy Hot or Cold | Up to 6 Servings

It is only a point or two below fresh french press gourmet coffee I make at home. It may be pricey, but I don't expect to be making instant everyday, so the extra price is worth the quality. Note: the 10oz recommended water amount seems like a lot for the amount of coffee in the packet, but it is really well balanced at that amount. I would suggest starting with 90-100F water at 2oz to dissolve and followed with 8 oz of 140-160F to heat. Overall, great coffee! :D

This “ coffee” does not taste like coffee. Don’t know what it is made of but it does not taste like coffee. And the price for this is crazy.

I'm a bit of a coffee nerd and when I go hunting I want to wake up and go, but I still need my coffee. Not having to make pour over in the morning in my tent is nice and helps me move a lot faster. I have always been a fan of Verve and was shockingly surprised they offered an instant coffee. This stuff is delicious!

My favorite instant decaf has been discontinued so I decided to try this one. The price is clearly much higher than any other instant decaf I've seen, but this coffee claims to be decaffeinated using the best-in-class Swiss Water method, so that's something.The coffee arrived without any special packaging, just a cardboard box with 6 single serving paper packets. Inside these packets I found coffee "chips" (see the photo) which is what happens when the coffee is stored at high temperatures and/or humidity. Since other reviews mentioned the same thing, it is clear that this coffee is either stored or shipped incorrectly resulting in this problem.As for the taste, after spending a long time stirring the coffee "chip" which slowly melts and dissolves in hot water, I can say that it tastes OK, but definitely not great. This may or may not be due to the fact that the coffee melted inside the packets because it was stored or shipped incorrectly.So, this is a hard pass for me. I still gave it 3 stars since the packaging is environmentally friendly, and it's a rare thing to find instant decaf made with the Swiss Water method.

I am a coffee snob but highly impressed with this - big time. It has a very smooth and buttery flavor. A tad pricy but worth it. You will still save 1 to 2 dollars per cup versus going to the local Sbucks. Give it a try!

I grind locally roasted beans every morning, and I drink my coffee black, so there is nothing to doctor it up.Sometimes in the afternoon, I want a quick cup of coffee or tea.I had read some instant coffee reviews from a notable foodie magazine, and this was the top pick. So, I thought I’d give it a try.I’m glad I did. I was impressed. It doesn’t really have that instant coffee taste that I was expecting. And it has a very nice acidity to it.Each packet makes a full ten ounce cup, as well. I was expecting it to be a weak cup with all ten ounces of hot water, but it was perfect.Given the choice of this or a cup of brewed coffee from the grocery store shelf, I would choose this one in a heartbeat.

The coffee is expensive and not appreciably better than other instants like Nescafé. I won’t purchase again

I wouldn’t call myself a coffee snob, per se, but I do enjoy grinding my own beans each morning for a quality cup of coffee. When it came time to go camping this year, I really didn’t want to go with the usual Starbucks instant coffee packets, so I purchased these instead. Honestly, I’ve had worse cups of coffee from a barista. This stuff tasted amazing! While it is a bit pricey on a per-cup basis, I’d gladly pay it again for the massive step up in taste and flavor.
