Overview
This pack holds three 3.17 ounce tins of Starbucks dark roast instant coffee, each tin making up to 35 cups for roughly 105 cups total. It dissolves in hot or cold water, so it works without a brewer for travel, camping or the office.
Because it is microground rather than standard instant crystals, the powder is scooped to taste instead of measured to a fixed ratio, which is how the brand frames the adjustable strength. Notes lean toward dark chocolate, matching the dark roast label.
- 3 tins, 3.17 oz each
- Up to about 105 cups total
- Dark roast with dark chocolate notes
- Works hot or iced, no brewer needed
Who it's for
Good for situations where a brewer is not practical, such as travel, camping or a desk setup, and for anyone who wants to control strength cup by cup. Not the pick for someone chasing the depth of fresh brewed or fresh ground coffee.

Performance notes
The microground powder is designed to dissolve fully in hot or cold water, so it works as either a hot cup or iced coffee from the same tin. Strength scales with how much powder you add per cup rather than a printed ratio.
