Coffee like tassimo Costa?
hi,
is anyone aware of any instant coffee available in walmart/publix that is similar in taste to Costa tassimo pods (americano) ? We have tried percolator coffee before from walmart which was a lot of faffing and not nice We are going for 4 weeks next year fingers crossed, so don't want to lug a load of coffee out with us. Cheers

I have read in some trip reports that many buy their pods from Aldi while out there, I know they sell them here so maybe you could buy before you travel and try?

Thank you, the villa doesn't have a tassimo machine but we have one at home and the husband is addicted so hoping to find an instant coffee that tastes similar for his highness 🙄

We used to have a Tassimo until hubby tried a Keurig in Naples Grande Beach Hotel . Next year our villa had a Keurig and when the next villa didn't have one hubby decided to buy a Keurig from Walmart . Ended up buying a Keurig copycat for about $32 and bought the proper pods which worked really well . His fav is Starbucks Pike Roast . They also used to do a nice Panera Bread pod too . We just left the coffee machine in the villa when we left . With you going for so long it might be worth doing something similar .

There are lots of different types of filter coffee surely you could not have tried them all? it is a bit of a faf but cant you use a cafetière (French press) these are a few dollars in wallmart and you just put the ground coffee in it, pour in hot water, leave for a min or so and press it. Really simple
Costa also sell their own ground coffee in the supermarkets.

Be interested in the "aldi" line as no-one in UK , that I'm aware of does Tassimo pods - it's the barcode problem I believe but I've had the Kuerigs at Universal RPR & it's a decent cup. BUT I highly recommend an Aeropress (check Amazon) I then buy a good Dark roast from Winn Dixie/Starbucks or even Joffrey's- of course you do need to be able to heat the water first.
