All the "geekness" aside, since Nescafe isn't actually coffee, anything else has to be an improvement, simply because it's not Nescafe.

As for your reference here, I share a surname with both Lord Eddard and a guy by the name of Tony. I have no choice but to be a geek.

Now I feel better...
I would gladly trade in 1 head of Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell for a decent cup of coffee in WDW.. Starbucks isn't that decent cup of coffee... maybe Joffrey is...

On another note, has anyone noticed Starbucks recent ads for their "Blonde Roast?" They're like, "we understand many people don't like our coffee, so we have a new one that actually tastes good...try it!" Reminds me of Domino's recent "we know our pizza has been awful for years, so we actually tried to make it better" ads.
This kind of advertising makes me laugh. Why can't food companies be happy with less than total market domination?

Funny you mention this, because I was going to suggest that those who are complaining about the 'burnt' taste of Starbucks coffee should try the Veranda (the blonde roast). Whereas I used to only get Frappacino's in store since I didn't care for their regular roast either, I now only get the Veranda. Worked on me. And I mainly drink Veranda for my K cups as well.

I agree, the blonde roast is much better. I bought a bag of whole beans and its pretty good cup of coffee but it is still Starbucks. There are much better coffee brands out there.
I hope Jofferys is better. I wonder are they the ones who supply Kona Cafe and Boma? If that's the case then there is hope for a good cup of joe in The World.

I was quite cranky this past vacation every morning since I had to skip my daily coffee because Nescafe was awful. We tried to use that at my job - it lasted a week before we quickly switched back to Green Mountain...

This is great news not only because Nescafe will be gone but mainly because a smaller business will be able to thrive with such a big accounts as Disney. We see too many small businesses constantly going under so I'm happy for Joffrey's.

Interesting about Starbucks. We had several stand-alone stores close. It's losing popularity among coffee drinkers I know precisely because of the "burnt" taste.
I celebrate the replacement of Nescafe, though. This means I can drink coffee on vacation again. Woo hoo......

Love the reference to Coming to America, do not care for Starbucks, but hopefully this will be an improvement. Love my coffee in the morning, this has to be better than the colored water they are now serving!!!!!!!!!

YAY!! This is great news.

As long as they brew it properly. The "sludge-o-matic they use for Nescafe if the absolute worst way to make coffee.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

Got to agree with this....If it is the 'pre-brewed, just add hot water' stuff, it will still probably be bad, but that Nescafe paste had absolutely NO flavor. Just about anything would be better - even Tasters Choice crystals!

As long as it's a good as Starbucks, I'll be happy. I am a Starbucks fan. I really don't understand the "burnt" comments.
And, I don't like the Blonde roast.... Waaaaaay too weak for me.

Tried the Blonde Roast today... While it does not taste like burnt mud, it still did not taste good to me... Guess I just don't like Starbucks LOL...

Stayed at the Coronado last month, and the coffee there could not have been Nescafe, because it was good.
When my wife and I walked for coffee every morning, I would end up drinking 3 mugs full.
That really annoyed our daughter, she hated waiting for my restroom breaks when we got to the park.
