That's a cool collection, Workman. Thanks for sharing! I see some beloved Taster's Choice missing! Would you be interested in the following? Please PM me your address.

In fact, if anyone here has an instant coffee collection, please post a picture and share it with us. Then I will go through my collection and contribute anything you don't have. I don't have much outside of US rations, but I'm sure I can find something.

I didn't receive anything. Maybe it didn't go through? :?

I guess I should explain the origins of the coffee I posted earlier. On the top left is an early 1990s (1991 or 1992 to be specific) Taster's Choice coffee from a US MRE. Top middle is probably a 2004 Taster's Choice from an MCW. On the top right an early 2010s Diario either from a 2011 MRE or a 2012 LRP. Bottom left is from an Italian ration of an unknown year, but likely from within the last few years as of this writing. And on the bottom middle is a coffee instant type 1 likely from a 1970s C Ration. It may also be from the late 1960s. Sorry I don't know exactly where these came from, but I'm pretty close.

You do actually have Coffee Instant Type 1 in all the coffee I sent you. In the picture it's the one with the goldish sheen to it, next to the Canadian stuff.

Ben you have an impressive collection of ration coffee there.

Will have to show my US ration coffees soon. Not quite as impressive though.
