But for availability Id go for Tasters Choice.In every store and the same as in rations. :) Hope this helps!
From what vendor do you typically purchase your Starbucks packs? I am thinking they might be a bit more pricey then other instants. Amazon is rather proud of them (expensive).

Also, have you tried the Nescafe Gold. A coworker swears it's the only instant she will drink. It is not easy to find in the US though. Pretty much Internet Shops only as it is marketed for the UK.
We get the Starbucks at Costco for close to $.50 ea

Oh, the favorite VINTAGE coffee.... I never had one. You should PM Steve.

You can forget everything and go straight to Nescafe Gold. Always trust Germans about engines, weapons, sausages and coffee.
