This is not a tool in the traditional sense, but every nerd in the NerdVerse will know exactly what I am talking about. Starbuck’s VIA instant coffee is the only instant coffee on the planet which isn’t instant coffee. Its more like magical coffee in that you can make a cuppa joe with some hot water and one of these little packets. Amazing.

Tip #1: Each packet is about one shot at a Starbucks store, so don’t expect a Venti’s worth out of one. You’ll need at least 3.

Tip #2: Buy at CostCo. Seriously. 24 VIA packs for $15. Doi.

When you want a cup of hot coffee and you can’t step away from the server, you need a 3-pack in your wallet. It will change your coffee consuming life. Oh, and if you look on the back of the box, you’ll see the ingredients listed (as if), but it turns out that VIA contains Instant and Microground Arabica coffee. What do taht means, intart00bers?

Tip #3: Perfect gift for the nerd in your life. Perfect.
