Two Fridays ago, I dropped by Starbucks to know if they were already serving their Christmas specials (I want my Toffee Nut Latte!) but turned out that they weren’t. Not too disappointed as I was assured by their friendly barista that it will be served the following (this week…yay!) Plus, I discovered the new Starbucks via Ready Brew.
It comes in two flavours: the Italian Roast, strong and bold and the medium roast Columbia. It is available in two types of packaging: one that contains 12 sachets (AUD$9.95) and the other contains 3 sachets (AUD$3.95).
I bought the Italian Roast in 12 packs and the Columbia in 3 packs. The Barista reminded me that the Italian Roast is a very strong coffee and I told her I like my coffee strong.
Last week, I met someone who has never been to a Starbucks and have never tasted their coffee. It was refreshing to meet someone who hasn’t tasted Starbucks. But it’s actually no surprise. Here in Australia, we only have a few Starbucks branches and people are not dependent in Starbucks for good coffee. In Sydney, you can get great-tasting coffee in every corner.
Since I have Starbucks Ready Brew, I brought two sachets for my friend and she chose the Colombian blend.
For the first time in long while, I had coffee at work since I was left with the Italian Roast blend sachet, might as well have a cup myself.
When my first cup was about 3/4 empty, I decided to fill in my cup with water again and it was still dark and flavourful.

we had the starbacks brew last year. i liked it too since if i am craving for some SB brew coffee, this can satisfy ny craving. And what’s good is that it tatstes brewed coffee. Have you already tasted their Christmas Blend? here 3 sticks costs around 135 while 12 sticks costs 450.
