Starbucks VIA an addition to (but won't replace) Onboard Brewed Coffee

From the looks of it, Starbucks VIA may be making an entry on board "select" United flights. Could this spell the end of brewing onboard coffee?

I tasted VIA at my local Starbucks last week and actually found it to taste really good. I would actually prefer it to the brewed stuff...

One downside, no more coffee bags hanging in the lavs. See post #22 here (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...rooms.html</i>)
