"Ready Brew" Open House Idea

My love for coffee is no secret so it’s exciting to have a snapshot of mine included with others on the new Starbucks VIA Ready Brew website. During the first weeks of its launch you can check out contests and prizes on StarbucksVia.com with categories including Home, Work and First Taste….


“Outside the Box” VIA comes packaged in single serving sized tubes with a taste compared to regular brew. This could be handy for your Real Estate Agent toolbox.


A thermos or pot of hot water, “VIA Ready Brew” and a little imagination could create a welcoming coffee counter at your next Open House with little effort or waste –


a dozen fit nicely in each espresso cup used for the examples below which are also handy "at home" btw:

Well now with your new found claim to stardom, you're going to have to fly YOUR private jet to the Raleigh area to see me!

You can even use my hangar. My jet, the "Craigster 1" will be parked outside making room for yours!

Thats great, hope it works out for you. I like to try new things with every open I do.

This is a great idea especially now that the weather is turning cooler...I like it!

Now Craig who needs a jet when you've got one (silly)? Speaking of which....this could be a convenient coffee for your next flight. Coffee is always on in Seattle!

Hi Scott it's fun to have new things to try and coffee works anytime for me. thanks for stopping by :)

No Kidding Evelyn! These last few days in Seattle have been beautiful (especially for October) but it's getting colder each evening for sure! Coffee can keep out hands warm this fall and winter!:)

Great idea for an open house! Fall is a great time for a little warm pick-me-up! :)

Hi Teresa~ I am a coffee nut too.  Nothing beats a great cup of coffee!  I love your ideas and I had no idea they had single serving options now too!

Thanks Vickie and I agree....it's hard to beat a great cup of coffee! :)

Great great great idea for open house! sophisticated and easy.  (I use to hide my instant coffee crystals in the open house box...I know, don't judge me)  Now I can have easy coffee to share out in the open. Thanks

PS I could tell you liked coffee because...I'm not sure why, I just could tell.

Yes! Kathleen  the end of closet crystals - wouldn't judge anyone for their love of coffee -  totally enjoying your comment - ( about the addiction love for coffee ....that obvious huh?

Posted by Teresa Berry (Dream Home Real Estate Inc) about 1 month ago

I was wondering if the new instant coffee was really and good.  I'm going to trust you on this one!
