    Shopping King Louis brought me here

    MAXIM GOLD! It's Maxim. And it's Gold. And it's oh so delicious. I like only filling a mug about halfway with hot water for these packets. Tastes a bit more rich. But sometimes, a full mug is nice too.Tasty and great for traveling! And perfect for home too. Thanks, K-Drama!

    Quick and easy coffee with cream

    These are very good and so easy and quick to make. The cream is included so all you need is hot water to have the perfect cup of coffee. Very convenient for office, hotel, or home.

  • Wouldn't you like to know Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Good coffee but poor shipping

    The coffee is good and is always a treat, but when it was shipped it was shipped in a plastic envelope and the USPS smashed the box totally. Luckily no product was damaged but the box was useless for storage. Consider next time shipping in a box.
