pre-ground espresso coffee for Pesach?

Does anyone know of any Espresso-ground coffee for Pesach? I know that "Illy" brand is OU but they aren't on the list of coffee brands which do not require special OUP designation.

I've seen sources of whole-bean Pesach coffee but I would need a new Pesach coffee grinder which isn't an ideal solution.

thanks,

    Perugina (Saddle Brook, NJ) makes an espresso coffee that is, as per the OU, acceptable during Passover but does not bear an OUP, it is marked w/ the standard OU. Don't take my word for it...you can call the kashrus dept. at the OU to verify this.

      Thanks, Amy. I suppose I'll give it a try this year if I can find it! It was on last year's (5763) OU-without-OUP list that I just found at the OU site, so I'll take a look when they put up this year's list.

        You're welcome! FYI - The OU will know now about the Pesach stuff (at least for coffee) if you're chompin' at the bit to find out. Just ask the kashrus receptionist.

        Shaaaaaaalom.
