This weekend Starbuck’s is promoting their new instant brew “via” with free taste tests at any Starbuck’s. \u00a0They are supposed to be a blind testing with a Starbuck’s drip coffee and the Instant Coffee. \u00a0The promotion states that you can get a free cup of any coffee after the tasting. \u00a0For me at the Aspen Starbuck’s<\/a> I found that they are not completely in the loop to Starbuck’s first ever TV ads promoting this tasting. \u00a0When I asked for a tasting they just simply let me try a cup of the instant on the house. Which ultimately was a free cup of Joe in downtown Aspen which worked well enough on this beautiful fall day. \u00a0Am I hooked? \u00a0I don’t know, but it is rather reminiscent of the story I’ve heard about drug dealers giving out free samples of their products. \u00a0So be careful, but stop in for a free cup this weekend Oct. 2-4th 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
