CC the boab ( bottle trees) can be found up in the north west. Some are absolutely enormous. One in Derby was used as an overnight prison tree. They are deciduous and have no leaves in the dry season and they have the most beautiful flowers.

Was it instant coffee?  Tea bags?

Gert

Yes

OMG! Call me a snob but I would have to take my plunger and makings.  You would think at that price you would get filtered and leaves.

In all my 70 years plus I have knowing only drunk instant coffee  on the rare occasion where I have been in a position  where it would be absolutely rude not to.  Many of my friends have been gifted a plunger and coffee  upon arrival for morning coffee. As indeed some other friends have been gifted a decent bubbles glass though that is less important as any old vessel will do. As they say"life is too short to drink bad coffee".

God I can be a pain in the ass perdista

so that means NO bushells  :-*
i don't need a recipe i'm italian

Cookie I always travel with a plunger and coffee when I fear the coffee will be instant. I know I can get good tea at your house. I cannot understand how anyone can drink instant coffee or would want to but I know you are collecting Moconna Jars!
