I understand needing good coffee. I always bring Starbucks VIA packets and my own coffee grounds and filters. (We usually stay where there's a decent coffee maker.) So far my coffee grounds have been fine going through Customs in Canada, U.S.A., Mexico and the Dominican. In Mexico I got the red light search and they were fine with my Coffee (and peanut butter)
