This might sound like sacrilege, but have you tried any of the better instant coffees? Not the usual stuff off the supermarket shelves. Starbucks sells them in little single serve tubes if you like their stuff. There was a gentleman from France working with me that did not like the swill we brewed in the office, but was too polite to tell us. I caught him with a jar of instant from back home and it was excellent. Full disclosure, I don't personally drink much coffee anymore. Caffeine and me don't get along well unless I need to drive and I'm tired. Anyway, worth checking out, you may find one that you like and its easy to travel with.
