So i am going on a 22-25 day long backpacking trip through the John Muir Trail in CA and i wan't to have some coffee when i wake up.

I was thinking of just buying some off of Amazon but i remember i have this awesome MRE community i can get some selection from!!

So i want a total of 30 to 35 instant coffee's, i would prefer to have a good selection from different countries if possible.
I don't want anything too old and potentially not edible haha.
Willing to buy small quantities (5-10/15) or 30-35 all at once whatever works.

The trip is in July so the cheapest shipping options the better, mail envelopes or something inside the US if possible.

I've got a jar of some of this stuff on the right. It's called Medaglia D'oro espresso instant coffee. The photo is a comparison between that and the deep rich instant coffee.

I'm not much of an instant coffee drinker, but if I do I usually drink the espresso stuff. Would you be interested, just let me know.

I would love to try it but i was hoping to get packets and small baggies so it doesn't take much room in my bag. I'd be down to buy some and try it regardless though send me a PM when you get a chance.
