Flavor and texture are usually at the heart of lackluster experiences with instant coffee, and Starbucks' Crema Collection Premium Instant coffee delivers decadent flavor, plus a thick froth. "Through consumer insights, Starbucks Coffee At Home identified a need from coffee drinkers for more convenient, flavor-forward products to uplift their moods during the day, especially in the afternoon,” a Starbucks Coffee at Home spokesperson revealed to Food & Wine.
The new Starbucks Instant range delights with coffeehouse-inspired varieties like Salted Caramel, Madagascar Vanilla, and Molten Chocolate. These richly sensory instant coffees are crafted with 100% Arabica beans, and they're ready to be prepared hot or iced, with or without a favorite milk or milk alternative of choice, to uplevel instant coffee experiences at home and beyond.
