I was able to buy some instant packets of Mount Hagen at my local Raley's grocery store (at a better price than Amazon) just to try out. It was very smooth, no bitterness, but I wouldn't call it strong. Better than much of the coffee I've gotten at hotels lately. Will pack some packets on next trip and see how it goes.

I think they're made in Germany. For the price and ease of finding it locally, I'm quite pleased.


It's rated fairly high in the a couple of comparison reviews I read:
