Amiee - thanks for the post - and certainly adding decaf is a welcome option. I prefer 1/2 caf and would really welcome a 1/2 caf Colombian option. Not sure if other folks would like it - but I would buy it. The promotions you are doing for VIA in the stores (discounts/bundles with drinks) are what made me try the product. I would not have tried it without this.

Cool! Will the decaf Via be all natural as well? I miss having a SWP coffee!

Thanks for thinking of your customers who like decaf (even if only in the evening)! Is it only going to be in Italian Roast flavor, or will you bring in a milder flavor? My idea is Guatemala Antigua. I've wanted a decaf in that blend forever! It's my favorite coffee Starbucks sells, but I'd like a decaf option.

Hey Aimee! Thanks for listening to everyone's ideas! But what about us in Canada?? I know you felt our energy and passion about VIA when you came to Toronto!  I'm assuming it is just in such high demand that you can't roll it out all at once and you want to get it in customers' hands ASAP! When will you have enough to supply us up here!?? I would love to be able to tell my customers who are waiting for Decaf! -AJ-

Hey Aimee!  I am glad your are listening to customers who want Decaf but what about us that are diabetic.  How about more sugar free drinks.

I am excited for decaf VIA.  I travel to Africa a couple times a year and the one thing I really miss is a good cup of coffee.  It will be packed in my backpack my next trip! Thanks.

What about decaf Frapuccino!  I have a really poor tollerance to caffeine, but cannot resist a caramel coffee frapuccino in the hot weather, but I do suffer badly afterwards due to the caffeine.  

Bring on the decaf option!!!

Love the idea of decaf.  I think you should make the via instant brew and sell it by the container rather then just the packs.  I understand the packs are pre-measured and perfect for on the go, but a container of it would be less waste and still faster then traditional brew coffee.  What do you think?

Awesome Amee!

Now that you will be having both reg and decaf instant, why not start putting it in hotels, especially ones with a Starbucks already on property?  Might make more $$$ and the bean counters always like that!

Got the Decaf VIA sample in the mail today. Thank you, you guys are great.

I haven't received the decaf Via sample yet, and I thought I did reply to that email. Oh well. Lots of people are crying out for decaf, so I'm sure 11-17 will make lots of folks happy. :-) (I'm not a decaf drinker).

When will decaf VIA be available for sale on the web site?

My wife picked up the 3 pack of decaf on her normal morning visit.

I like the convenience of having single serve, but the cost is a bit high.

Coffee is the best instant yet.
