Hi - Im in New Caledonia on business and have a drip filter machine in my apartment room ;D but no coffee 
So off to the local Supermarket where there was a choice of about 8 different brands - none of which I recognise - and selected the one with the prettiest picture.
What is amazing to note is the high content of Robusta coffee in these brands - all of them had at least 30% Robusta with the maximum being 70% Robusta!
Is this usual of the French?
I must say the bag might have had the prettiest picture but it certainly is not a great taste! ... how i yearn for my own home roast....and my slippers.
Cheers,
