My wife has become addicted to the vacum packed Jumbo decaf coffee available at Warehouse....

Anyone know if this "drug" can be purchased in Canada so she doesn't go into withdrawal???

Jumbo is a grocery store chain from Holland; "Jumbo" brand products are their generics.

Yep, realize that. Still curious if it's available elsewhere. BTW, the Wiki link referenced is about Jumbo the Elephant....

I went back twice to copy the link, but notice above the last word, (supermarket), doesn't connect like it should. You might have better luck finding Douwe Egberts coffee--I believe it's what Jumbo is imitating. DE coffee is what's in the Senseo coffee pods.

Perfect! Thank you Ruth. That will make the search easier.

Hi
Judging by this link it seems Jumbo is exclusive to the Netherlands.

There is a Dutch grocery store down the road from our home. I will stop by to see if they have any there. I have to get a few things for our friends in Raleigh. She loves the Dutch candy she cannot get in the U.S. Will let you know in a day or two. I know they have a website to make orders if required. What part of Canada are you located. We live in southern ontario, near St. Catharines

Thanks Nestor. Let me know. We're close to Calgary. The DE website seems to be aimed at US residents only, but I have an email in to their customer service folks.
