Every trip home and every time anyone comes to stay they have to bring Kenco really rich refill bags.
I currently have 12 in my cupboard and get panicky when I get down to 5!

Kipa sell quite a range of own brand coffee, such as Alta Rica, Java and Brazillian.

Thank you all for the info, have just picked up 2 refill bags of Douwe Egberts in Asda, which I didn't realise they sold so problem solved, will bear in mind your recommendations should we run out! Thanks again. Lynn. X

Does anyone know if they sell the Nespresso coffee pods in Turkey or will I have to bring them with me.  I have a Nespresso coffee machine there and usually bring the pods with me but if I can avoid the extra weight then that would be a bonus.

No problem with putting coffee beans in your hand luggage,with almost unlimited cabin weight flying with Easy Jet we do it all the time

Hi everyone,
Can anyone recommend an alternative to the usual nescafe? We usually bring a large jar of our favourite douwe egberts, which usually lasts us the 2 weeks but as we're coming for longer don't want unnecessary weight in the case.  We're planning a big shop at Migros if anyone can suggest a nice 1 they sell?? Many thanks.
Lynn
Have no idea where you are in Uk but a lot of discount stores like B&M, Quality Save often have refills at silly prices if you are in the North? I am sure there must be equivalents elsewhere. Anyway hope you find some as the weight issue really is getting tough these days when they charge you by the gram at the Airline!  Believe Ryan Air plan to ask people to travel in beachwear as it is lighter and they can save on the heating costs!

George brilliant if you fly with EasyJet I agree, you should have seen their faces when I turned up with a fishing jacket with every pocket bulging and a cabin bag to slay a Dragon! Seriously, if they are going to insist on being so stingy with Hold luggage ------

I am actually told that it makes little difference to fuel consumption, but  abif difference to expensive Air freight they can carry, dont knoiw if its true!  :)

Menawhile have asked a frined to look around for coffe and price up for me!

You can buy the refill packets of Jacobs in Migros.
