Sometimes it is difficult to get Cap Columbie In the supermarket so I found this idea a really good move. It has 500gms in a super foil top container which keeps the coffee fresh no matter how fast or slow you use it. As Cap Columbie is my favourite nescafe this way has saved time searching the high Street for the brand. It is also comparable cost wise too.(unless you can find it on special offer somewhere, but good luck with that)
