At the Ashdown meet PW had some coffee in what looked like a big toothpaste tube. I think Nestle make it and PW got it from Australia. Anyone else seen it or does anyone know where to get it in the UK?
It was really good stuff :super:

There must be an aussie shop in the uk selling it. You know the ones in London which sell veggimite and stuff so all the travellers can feel at home while they flood the bars of west london. Honestly I watched rugby in a hammersmith pub and there were more aussies kiwis and south africans than british. :shock: oops losing the thread.
I'll keep an eye out.

I din't know anything about the paste, but I have had some success using coffee pods like a coffee "tea bag". Quite a range of coffees available in these, and individually vacuum packed in many cases.

Dave, no, this was like coffee white with 2 in a paste form... great stuff!
Do you know the nestle brand PW? because i'll have a search for it.
OK I'd give this a try but as a resident of South America the very thought gives me the shivers.
I've had very good luck with the "tea bags" filled with coffee from Folgers and Maxwell House. Four of them in a canteen cup gives me a pretty good all-American oversized shot of caffine. They're light weigth too, like a tea bag. Mac

Do they sell it in the main supermarkets in Oz? If so these must have home shopping...so.....you sign up and order some, then wait a few weeks for the guy in the little truck to make it over here! :rolmao: :rolmao: :rolmao:
EDIT: Oh yer, found this too....so you can get it shipped over ok but the shipping is a bit steep!!!

They might well have an equivalent in Norway, every time I'm there I seem to see something new in a tube, they seem to like tubes. Plus they drink an awful lot of coffee... I'll have a butchers

I have not done it for years, but I used to wash out toothpaste tubes, make a paste with Nescafe Espresso, and syringe it into the tube...if you do not clean out the tube well enough, you WILL have a minty taste! Coffee that removes plaque? :naughty: :naughty:

You can buy squeezy tubes made by Nalgene or some such - save rushing the toothpaste!

Hi guys,
many years ago, in my student time my later wife and me used to help some elderly woman who lived near the house were we rented each a small room.
She was from Indonesia and came to the Netherlands when the Dutch left Indonesia after the bloody fight for freedom in Indonesia just after WW II.
She was real old and we helped a lot with getting groceries and just talk to her as she was living alone in a small apartment for older people intermixed between "normal" houses.
Anyhow, the first time she asked if we liked a coffe she took a small cook pot and spooned 1 spoon of molasses like almost black stuff into a cup and took an old coper water kettle from the gas stove and poured water on it.
The taste of that coffee is still saved into some neurons in my brain, it was the tastiest coffee I tasted for many many years.
Needless to say I (we) stopped by at least once or twice a week to help her and get treated on her very nice coffee.
She never told us how she made it I just wished I had asked at that time.
Best Scouting wishes from Holland,
Bagheera :pack:
Noone remembers Camp coffee essence - with that rich warm sewage aroma of cheap coffee mixed wth chicory?

Cool as...10 tubes of yummy coffe+milk paste arrived this morning.... two already have dibs on a tube each....JP & Joe.... I'm afraid the other eight tubes are staying firmly with me!!!! :nana: .....right off to put the kettle on :o):
Has anyone tried these tubes for food use? They're certainly cheap enough. I use them for the pastes that I make from natural dyes.

They're laquered inside, someone must surely sell ones primarily intended for food use. Incidentally condensed milk is now sold in squeezy tubes.

Didn't Nalgene once do a little kit of small placcie pots, with a couple of placcie refillable tubes once. I looked on their web page, but there wasn't any. Someone must do them surely?
