I went shoping for cofee in Paris and Vienna within the past 1/2 year. Monoprix in Paris had a somewhat limited selection of groud decaf, no wholebean. The Spar in Vienna had, IIRC, exactly 1 whole bean decaf out of some 20 brands/labels of whole bean coffees. Didn't check out the offerings at coffee shops, or supermarkets in Amsterdam and London.

As for coffee makers in hotels, maybe the Europeans prefer a real kettle so one can get water up to boiling temperature for making tea. Can't do that with a coffee maker where you usually get a taste of coffee too.
