You can get it on amazon.com.br, but it's very expensive.

Nestle ????? Geez... That is the same company that steals water rights the world over, particularly from Tribal folk.   And selling processed junk the world over is their motto. Evil company.  

With so many coffee brands, why not just go trying sampling  one by one??

By the way, best sip of coffee in Sao Paulo by the counter it ain't Starbucks.  It is Cafe Floresta, served in a coffee shop by the Copan Building. 

The owner/manager is a non sense guy, with little tolerance for tourists idiotic questions, there are almost no pastries to go with it, but his cup of joe is a helluva one!

It is the 15th frame, the building has a ground floor indoor mini mall where you can get a haircut, sipi coffee, and there is a bar ( Bar da Onca ). 


Honest cup of joe, I daresay.

in Rio, I assume you can go to Confeitaria Colombo and get the waiter to tell you where to get decent coffee beans.

Centro - Rua Gonçalves Dias, 32 • Centro – Rio de Janeiro/RJ

Confeitaria Colombo is a Rio's tradition. 

Other choices....

In Sao Paulo you get your pastries by Confeitaria Di Cunto, by Mooca.  A place expats rarely venture, for not apparent reason 


Nestle???  Please, don't be a chump.

I stopped using creamers and heavy creams since moving down here, gone are the days of half and half cream,


However, I do buy alot of leitissimo for coffee. I cannot stand the boxed milk. Just an annoying experience overall.

It's interesting to me how some people are really bothered by the difference it taste of UHT milk, and some people can barely perceive it.  I'm in the second group which makes it rather a mystery to me, but enough people I know react the same way you do, so I know that it's a real thing.

I never cared for chemical creamers, but there's no disputing tastes, and it's good to find the cheapest way to get what we feel we've got to have.  1f602.svg

I don't really get why some people turn their noses up at Amazon Brazil -- it's the easiest way to get a lot of foreign stuff for which there isn't much local demand -- but to each his/her/its/their own on that, too! 1f609.svg

LOL! I'm from Wisconsin and grandson to German-Swiss dairy farmers that needed their daily lactose input in any manner of forms. As a youngster I'd order my milk (we call it "melk" BTW) "in the biggest glass you've got" and it was never enough. MikeFlanagan pointed out that Leitissimo (brand name) is pretty good and I have to agree that after decades of trying to find good milk in Brazil it is about the best they have. Now if I could only find a real cheddar or swiss cheese.............

Side-story: from 1895-1965 it was illegal to have yellow-colored margarine in Wisconsin because, well fake is fake!!

...and even today Wisconsinites don't mess around about it.
