Coffee packs?

Post by DangerousDave »

Would someone please explain, why Natick will not get back to the foil pack coffees, yet they maintain the foil pack creamers, which almost always ends up un-opened on the ground, and Tasters choice garbage is used, because it's better than no coffee at all, and it sucks, it goes bad because of poor quality, does'ent even taste good. Kman, you know someone at Natick. Tell them to bring back the foil packs of GI coffee. Hell, it even has ascorcic acid. It lasts for decades. I made a pack from a 1983 LRRP, no problems. Tasters Choice sucks, yet I have all the foil creamers on Earth. :x

Coffee is a component that is sourced from commercial items. Don't know what companies are still packaging individual servings of instant coffee domestically in addition to Nestle's. Seems that their most common use had previously been in the hotel/motel industry but since most of that market has gone to filter packs of ground coffee for use in electric drip coffee makers there isn't much call for the packs of instant. I have seen the foil packs of instant coffee in some Asian hotels and they taste just as bad as the ones that used to be in US hotels and motels.

There is no such thing as decent instant coffee whether it is powered, crystal, or freeze-dried. :roll: :P
