Good Morning!  This unopened package of a fine Italian dark roast (Made in Italy!!) has been in our possession for, oh, 12 days.  Purchased in a flash of optimism when it was found on the bottom shelf in the coffee section,  sadly isolated from all of it’s …

INSTANT neighbors.  Yes, the Maltese seem to drink instant exclusively.  Espresso (maybe only for us tourists?) can be found in any coffee shop or restaurant, but good luck finding a coffee maker.  A dusty French press was spotted in a hardware store, but was not purchased, as we wouldn’t want to pack it (our next stop is Spain again, where they drink real coffee), and we wouldn’t  want to leave it here, where it would likely not be appreciated, and collect dust again.  So – we’re drinking instant, and (geez, don’t put us on the Do-not-allow-back-in-the-U.S.  list)  it ain’t that bad.  (insert collective groan here!)

Have a Great Nescafe day 🙂  Laura
