While the product has fallen out of favor in the U.S., it is still widely consumed in countries like Brazil and England.Īnalysts have been awaiting a turnaround concept from Starbucks for more than two years, ever since the company's profits started declining due to over-expansion and increased competition from McDonald's ( MCD, Fortune 500) and Dunkin Donuts.

Varma also said that the $17 billion instant coffee market offered a significant opportunity for Starbucks. Vivek Varma, senior vice president of public affairs, told employees in an e-mail that Via will "absolutely replicate the taste of Starbucks coffee," and that it is a "transformational product." Customers can "brew" the coffee by emptying the granules into hot water. The new product, called Via, will be sold at Starbucks stores in packs of three for $2.95 and packs of 12 for $9.95, according to the Wall Street Journal. 17 press junket in New York, executives close to the project spilled the beans Thursday to Advertising Age: Starbucks is going to sell instant coffee.
