I was hoping Korea would get this and was asking them in Itaewon several times, but I found it just being introduced with a 2 for 1 sale in Manila last January and it's been in the US market since 2009. It's really good real instant coffee compared to Nescafe and Maxim gold.

In a packaged processed sort of way it almost tastes better than what you get at the coffee shops.

Is it comparable to MAXIM Arabica Gold?

That's not bad for a premix instant.

How much do they cost?

No, for the price you pay for the Starbuck's instant (3 short size servings for $3 US) I wouldnt consider buying it if it was only as good as MAXIM Arabica Gold. It's quite a bit better. The taste is almost as good as the fresh stuff they serve except it tastes a little bit more processed, but there is no harsh or foul taste to it at all.

Those instants are pretty good. It's microcrystalline so you can add it to cold water or cold milk.

I think I like it with low fat milk, no water over ice.

However the best coffee I've had is freshly ground Starbucks Cafe Estima through my aeropress.
