494077 Thu Feb 28 05:11:49 -0800 2008 14 12 Boston Area 0 3442812 I've seen some recipes that use espresso powder--essentially, instant espresso. But I have not seen this product sold in any supermarket. Anyone know where I can buy a jar? Thu Feb 28 05:11:49 -0800 2008 18055 Howard_2 1 3442880 I've gotten it in the past at Lionette's Market on Tremont in the South End, next to Garden of Eden. Thu Feb 28 05:48:25 -0800 2008 3442812 10143 MC Slim JB 1 3442925 I've bought it at Whole Foods, Fresh Pond. The bottle is fairly small, so you have to scan the coffee section. Thu Feb 28 06:07:49 -0800 2008 3442812 10214 beetlebug 2 3443141 I've also bought it at Whole Foods. Medaglia d'Oro brand instant espresso. I think I've seen the same product at 'regular' grocery stores, but can't remember whether it was Star/Shaws/StopnShop Thu Feb 28 07:11:43 -0800 2008 3442925 152667 Ralphie_in_Boston 3 3444770 Yes, it is hard to find, but very good for baking. Here is what it looks like, to help you pick it out.... Thu Feb 28 13:56:55 -0800 2008 3443141 11301 Science Chick 4 3444779 hmm......didn't seem to work attaching the image. Let's try again...... Thu Feb 28 13:58:41 -0800 2008 3444770 11301 Science Chick 1 3442945 I've gotten some in the North End before (don't know the name of the shop, but it's the first right off Hanover coming from Haymarket). I love baking with it. Thu Feb 28 06:16:36 -0800 2008 3442812 13574 pamalamb 1 3443177 I bought Illy espresso powder at Roche Bros. and I've seen it at Shaw's. Sometimes you have to look in the "International" section as opposed to the coffee section. Thu Feb 28 07:24:28 -0800 2008 3442812 11126 Trixie Too 1 3443205 dairy fresh in the north end and both capone's locations sell the powder. Thu Feb 28 07:32:02 -0800 2008 3442812 14389 dchow 1 3448176 I believe that Christina's Spices in Inman Sq. carries it. Fri Feb 29 16:15:52 -0800 2008 3442812 137421 erican 1 3449001 The place where you can buy espresso powder is called Polcari;s on salem st. in the North End--they also have many hard to find herb powders such as Bay Leaf Powder Etc. check it out!! This is a unique place!! ciao Frankie Imbergamo Sat Mar 01 05:05:34 -0800 2008 3442812 20798 frankie Imbergamo 1 3449747 Roche Brothers...Medaglia d'Oro for $2.99...just bought some yesterday. Sat Mar 01 11:37:55 -0800 2008 3442812 21252 CookingGirl 1 3450762 I think you can pretty much find it in grocery stores in the area...I'm sure though all are of varying degrees. I've gotten it at Whole Foods, I think. I know places like Shaws have it, I want to say in the international foods aisle.
