Packing Coffee in your suitcase

[POOHISME2]

Has anyone had a problem with TSA and a sealed can of coffee in your luggage? Whoever travels with their own coffee, How do you pack it, In the original can, or in ziplock bags? Do you check it or carry it on?

We travel with the actual bags (like Starbuck's) that come in a plastic/paper bag already. I don't know about the cans, but to be safe I would do ziploc bags. They might think somethings in there and riffle through the can with their hands :eek: lol.

We use the Maxwell House coffee packs that you can just stick into the hotel coffee makers. They come in a square blue canister.

I took 2 pounds of flavored coffee that I bought in the grocery store in my carry on with no problems. The coffee was in paper type packages not in cans.

I would not suggest coffee cans, as they might be confiscated; take the bags instead. Happy Sailing!

I flew just a few weeks ago with a can of coffee. I carried it in my carry on and didn't have one problem. Michelle

I meant packed in your luggage. Still, even in carry-on luggage, if you get a very nosey security agent at the airport, he might insist that it be opened. We have travelled in the past where a certain item went thru airport security without a problem leaving for our trip, but flying home, the security agent took it from us. So you never know...always best to be safe than sorry.....
