JC: I was hesitant about trying this thinking nothing could come close to coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised! I unfortunately developed an allergy to coffee bean (not caffeine) and I was upset because I LOVE coffee. Well, this has replaced my “cup of Joe”… it is great!

MamaLu: I’m always looking for good healthy coffee substitutes and I am happy with this one. I am a longtime user of roasted chicory root but this was the first time using an instant kind. I sometimes mix with roasted dandelion root tea bags. By doing this, I can play around with strengths and don't need to use a coffee machine.

sjisland: I decided to find a coffee alternative that would also be beneficial for me. Chicory root is nice by itself sweetened with a little brown sugar, but as it cools it doesn't taste as nice. I decided why not make it flavored.. so I use 1tsp Chicory, 1tsp Anthony's cocoa, 1tsp brown sugar in 10oz of water and 2oz of milk and it's good even if it gets cold.
Granted for an 8oz bag the price is a bit high compared to other brands, but to try Chicory root by itself I decided to buy a brand I know and trust.
This 8oz bag may or may not last awhile depending how often I have a cup. I was limiting myself to 1 cup of coffee a day due to acid reflux. With the chicory I don't have the acid reflux and am enjoying 2-3 cups a day. Might try it with my other coffee alternatives Medidate and Coffig to see how it blends.

InChristAlone: Have you noticed how it's rare to find 100% chicory root products and how coffee, tea, and cocoa are the most tried and true hot beverages in the world? They taste the best and others don't otherwise chicory, roasted date nut, and dandelion beverages would reign supreme.

Plain chicory has a bitter aftertaste even if you cut it with half and half, but initially it tastes good enough. The draw to chicory over all the other substitutes on the market is that it's basically calorie free, cheap, prebiotic, nutritious, no traces of caffeine, and good on the digestive system.

I've made it as an iced beverage twice now, and the strength of brew needs to be lower than the package states. The aftertaste is just too unpleasant to drink at full strength, so a half decaf coffee and half chicory beverage would probably be great - exactly how it's typically sold aside from the decaf part. I added carob powder to one of the drinks and that also makes it drinkable and tastes like an ovaltine malt beverage.

You will want to choose something to mix with chicory and may as well use coffee unless you have allergies that preclude all forms of coffee, even decaf.
