Its not just Sydney that has this problem, down south we also do. Can we ship it to sheep screwers in NZ?

Someone else has pointed out–the canister doesn’t actually claim that it’s coffee, just ‘International Roast’.

I’m guessing Steelhips is too young to remember those commercials. Now get off my lawn, whippersnapper!

International Roast is found in sachets in hospitals and public service tea-rooms in huge tins. Reminds me if when Marge Simpson went frugal and replaced her regular coffee with “Colombia’s Shame”.

Just spent three weeks in a public hospital and I can tell you they buy International Roast.
I’m glad I was only allowed to sip water. To “the elf” – if someone can’t tell the difference between regular instant coffee (Nescafe) and International Roast, inform them they have had a stroke and lost their sense of smell and taste.

No, Nori’s right; instant coffee is just coffee that’s been freeze-dried. That’s literally all it is. There’s nothing wrong with it.

Coffee snobs are just the worst people on Earth. Worse than paedophiles and the Nazis combined. Worse even than Dane Cook.

Oh, and here I was thinking I was the only person in Sydney who cared about the quality of coffee in this city. I need to meet this note writer.

Nori, there’s a misconception on your part that all instant coffee is real coffee. Sure, legally it’s coffee. Just like Cheese Whiz is cheese.

Ah, good old International Roast – no one admits to liking it, but who keeps buying it??

The point that I was trying to make is that it ISN’T “fake,” there is nothing fake about it. Instant coffee is literally just coffee, there is a misconception that it’s not real. They brew coffee, then dry it out and put it in a can.

We are here at Tazza’s office in Sydney, where we’ve secretly replaced the fine coffee they usually serve with International Roast. Let’s see if anyone can tell the difference!
