Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Don't worry- I know better than to try instant coffee which is illegal because of the processing, but my daughter loves Israeli coffee- says it tastes different. I just bought her some Elite instant coffee from Israel and it says 100 % pure coffee on the can. I know some people on this board have traveled to Israel and I wonder if anyone has checked out the legality of this, or if they process it differently there. Just curious...not going to drink it myself. PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Elite coffee - blech!!! Granted, it may taste better than American instant coffee, but that's hardly an endorsement! <vbg> I can't imagine that it is legal and I can't imagine wanting to drink it unless I had to!! At one point it was really hard to get anything other than Elite (or Turkish) unless you were actually at a coffee house, but (heh!) I succeeded. But since I grew up drinking coffee from freshly ground beans - (I even took a coffee grinder to college with me! - this was long before the days of Starbucks) I never liked it. I'm pretty sure from past recollection the stuff just dissolves in your cup - we used to make " iced coffee " by adding cold milk and sugar to the instant coffee - so I can't imagine coffee processed like that could be legal in any way.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm a coffee bean snob too, but she loves it. An Israeli scout had it at summer camp. I guess to the kids, it's special if it comes from there, and it is easy to mix into the milk. I've never had it. I was just hoping that other countries did not put all the garbage that we do in our processed food.
