A friend brought back a box of Nescaf'e Espresso Pur Arabica Sachets
sticks (25 in the box), from France.  What this is is a box of 25
packets (sachets) of an instant Espresso made from coffee that they
get from a different source than the Nescaf'e Espresso that is sold
through their US website or at our US grocery stores.  I have searched
the
Internet and have found a picture of the product and a description (in
French of course).

I want to be able to order this from Nescaf'e or from a distributor
hopefully in the United States.
Here is the site that contains the picture of this product: 
http://www.nestle.nl/nescafe/nescafe/2_1_thuis/2_1_1_nescafe/2_1_1_3_3_3_espresso.html
On the box I have I see this site:  www.nestle.fr
I also see this information but I don't know what it means.
Service Consommateurs Nestle
BP 900 Noisiel
77446 Marne La Vallee Cedex 02

Can you help me find a distributor that can sell this to me here in
the United States or tell me how to go about ordering it from Nescaf'e
or Nestle?

I just looked at the box in the picture on the site I posted.  It
almost looks like the box I have only just under the word Espresso, it
says "Pur Arabica."

What sort of quantities are you interested in? Is this a personal
purchase, or would you like to order this in bulk for resale purposes?

Hailstorm - Feel free to consider the question answered because I can
buy it from the source you posted.  I guess that there is no US
Distributor who has already brought it in to this country from which I
can buy it?  One more thing, that picture-link was the right link for
the Espresso.  They told me that it was just an older picture but the
right product. Thanks.

schmooz, 

As mentioned earlier, this Nescafé Espresso Product is not distributed
in the United States. However, I have found a place to purchase this
and other European goods online.

The English Language Homepage of Euro-ned.com:

Page where Espresso product is available for purchase:

They accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express for purchase. The
site states that, due to strict US customs, it may take between 2 and
6 weeks for you to receive your order.
   
For future reference, note that the last letter of "Nescafé" is not
the normal letter E, but an accented E. If you are not using a foreign
language keyboard, and you do not have a source to copy and paste the
foreign character, you must use the Windows character map utility to
enter this special character. After clicking the Start menu button,
select "Accessories" from the menu, then select "Character Map" from
the submenu, which should look something like this:

The character map application itself should look like this:

This will also show you the keystroke combination you can use to type
this character directly.

There, you can click the character you wish to input, and it will be
entered into your target application.

I am certain that this is probably the only source available and you
found it.  Thank you very much!

schmooz,

I am not sure if this answers your question or not, but I found an
online retailor of European goods offering this product, as well as
several other Nescafe products not found in the United States.

Would you accept this as an answer?
