fokeltje Posted January 23, 2014 #76 Share Posted January 23, 2014 [quote name='Aruba']There is a Dutch coffee that I get in Aruba called Douwe-Egberts that IMO is delicious. (I mean, Douwe-Egberts is a Dutch corporation; who knows where the beans are from.). Anyway, I've often wished that HOLLAND America Line would switch to this DUTCH coffee. Wouldn't that make sense? ;)[/QUOTE] As I mentioned earlier on this forum: Holland America HAS switched to a Dutch coffee. It is ground coffee, the company is called Beukenhorst. In the Netherlands Douwe Egberts coffee is not really a premium brand, it is standard supermarket quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlepigs Posted January 23, 2014 #77 Share Posted January 23, 2014 [quote name='RuthC'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]No, it's not sweetened. It's not like the coffee syrup that comes in small bottles for mixing with milk, like when you make coffee milk. It's more like a very concentrated coffee, that then has hot water added to bring it back to regular strength. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] How bizarre! I guess it's easier to get a consistent product and less messy than grounds, not sure I fancy tasting it though. Good luck with the Via! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted January 23, 2014 #79 Share Posted January 23, 2014 [quote name='AlohaPride']They sell via at the grocery stores here with the other instant coffees. :) maybe they sell it at yours too. Sent from my SGH-T779 using Tapatalk[/QUOTE] I'm curious about this. Does it taste like instant coffee? Because I really hate instant coffee, just wondering.....I would rather take my chances with the coffee onboard the ships than bring along something that tastes like instant coffee. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted January 23, 2014 #80 Share Posted January 23, 2014 [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]We usually have room service for breakfast. I'm not a fan of the coffee and have just 1/2 cup to get me started for the morning. Before lunch, I head to Explorations to buy a decent cup of coffee and that's it for the day.[/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
