I buy and use the starbucks freeze-dried when we go camping. I prefer the mocha and I add coffeemate... mmm good!
The missus found some individual wrapped packets that contain tea as well; just add water. It was at Home Hardware of all places!
I can't find a link on their website at the moment though...
I almost forgot ....
Last year, I came across a new Nescafe instant coffee called 3 +1, labelled in Chinese, and found in the Ethnic food section of a local grocery store. You got 20 packets to a bag for less than $6CDN.
Then later in 2012, I found the same Nescafe instant coffee, 3 +1, in Walmart in boxes with 20 packets, but now labelled in English, for about $5CDN.
These Nescafe 3 + 1 packets are basically Nescafe instant coffee with the whitener and sugar already added. The coffee comes out a bit sweet and creamy after being made, but it's okay for a coffee / caffiene hit, especially if trail hiking.

Is what you say worth at least a Canadian nickel now?
Cause two cents ain't worth squat anymore !

Hmmm wouldnt it be cheaper to have an unopened container of each? $22 would get you well over 250 cups in bulk.
Siberios; you are quite correct. Bulk would be more cost effective way to go ... if a bulk container was opened and used quickly or unused amount vacuum sealed with O2 absorber / dessicant packs.
But the reason I like the individual 3+1 packets is as an alternative to traditional brew for car camping and back country hiking. Less to carry. NOTE: this only applies for those who like cream/sugar in their coffee. If you want it black, use fresh ground bean in a camping coffee pot; much better.

I picked up a box of those 3in1 and hope to test them this coming long weekend!
(Also appreciated the individually sealed packages versus the extra cost.)
I Started this thread almost 4 years ago and then yesterday I stumble across freeze dried coffee with a 25 year shelf life.
I'm seriously thinking about adding it to my preps:

I'm a coffee lover and the full bodied flavor of a french press coffee is easy to use and makes exquisite tasting coffee. You could be in the worse possible trenches, knee deep in swamp water, but when you taste a cup of Joe out of your french press, you'll think your at your fav. bistro. Your coffee need not remind you that the shtf by tasting horrible, but rather wake up and enjoy a savory cup every morning. Totally recommend it for preppers, mainly they will be in a better mood if we ever cross paths. : )
A couple months back I opened up a drum of goods that were put away 10 years ago, one of the items I tested was coffee. Nabob brand 326gram can of full city dark....tastes fine to me...so 10 years for sure..

Our local No Frills has boves of 7 single serving Folgers instant coffee for a quarter. DH and I tried some last week, as we had no power for 30 hours. Trees on power lines all over the Kootenays, caused by a wind event. Anyway, the coffee was quite good, for instant. We will pick up a few more boxes today, as they would be good in our BOB's. As a side note, I forgot that I had an old time coffee perk (the stove top kind) in the cupboard. Used it the second morning.
