I was wondering if these were actually the same beans. I've brought "cafe" brands in the stores and while going out and having coffee is pretty good, having it at home is not. It sounds like you are getting the exact beans. Other than going to Brazil, I don't know if there is much hope for you. You could go to Chile to stock up, but most of the country is just starting to kick the Nescafe habit!

By the way - and this is getting off topic even more (this started out as coffee whitener) - if you are bringing coffee to Argentina, and have a stop over (not just a connection) in Chile, be sure to declare it. You can keep it, but it is subject to multa for not declaring.
