French Roast Chicory Coffee Alternative, 11 Ounce: Ground Herbal Coffee That’s Prebiotic, Caffeine-Free & Acid-Free, Dark Roast, with Carob and Chicory, No artificial flavors

It is the closest thing to coffee that I have tried so far. Satisfies the coffee urge! It is not as bitter as coffee and requires less creamer. I used it in my drip coffee maker.

Great flavor and caffeine free to boot. Would highly recommend for an alternative to coffee.

I developed stomach ulcers due to ibuprofen use for me herniated discs, and eventually acid reflux after stopping PPIs used to treat the ulcers. I couldn't drink coffee anymore and found out just how addicted I was to that caffeine. Even if my GI healed, I didn't want to be dependant on caffeine for energy or bowel movements. I loved my morning routine though!!!! I needed that cup of coffee in the morning to feel human and herbal tea is not my thing..... Found this and tried it and I'm so happy I did!!!! It has the same consistency as coffee, that same roasted taste with hints of chocolate, and I can brew it the same as coffee in my drip machine or French press!!!! If you need a coffee alternative, this is it!!!!!

French Roast was my favorite coffee until i decided to go off of caffeine. I ordered this thinking it would be a good substitute, but the taste has no resemblance to French Roast coffee at all. What it tastes and smells like to me is coffee that has been left heating in the pot too long, or like burnt molasses. I'm probably gonna end up drinking decaf which at least tastes like coffee. Update; Teeccino has offered to refund my money for this, but i decided that i'd experiment with it a bit first to see if i could brew a cup i actually liked. The first time i used my DeLonghi espresso machine to brew it and i just couldn't get it to be mild enough to not taste like tar. This time i unpacked my old Mr Coffee 4 cup brewer and tried using that with paper filters. After some experimentation i got a cup i didn't mind drinking. The trick seems to be to use paper filters and only about 2 teaspoons of Teeccino per 8 oz cup. This gives it a coffee-like consistency that i can then add cream and sweetener to. It still doesn't taste anything like French Roast IMO, but it's not bad. It has it's own unique flavour that you might like or not for what it is. The thing to remember is that a little goes a long way, so definitely plan on using a lot less of this than you would ground coffee, and paper filters help to smooth out the taste some as well. I'm gonna keep drinking this and see how it grows on me. I upgraded to 4 stars because it's not bad once you get the hang of brewing it. It didn't get 5 because it doesn't taste like French Roast.

Had to go caffeine and acid free. This is a great tasting coffee for a substitute.

We enjoyed this very much and plan on buying again! Great coffee replacement . Not the same but very good hot drink.

I like the tea here, and I think their selection of teas is better.

For 8 years I've been allergic to caffeine. My ears start popping as if I'm on a plane, my jaw hurts, my neck hurts, I feel jittery, antsy, anxious, and decaf espresso at Starbucks was still too high caffeine to be symptom free. But, my wife and I love going for country drives with a Starbucks in our hand, and I just suck up the side effects and indulge anyway. The other day I sat in front of Starbucks, scrolling through the app hunting for something Sugar Free and Caffeine Free that wasn't an overpriced Hibiscus Tea again. I actually got mad at the lack of options that were both of those basic criteria, so drove away empty handed! When I got home I found Teeccino, and ordered the French Roast immediately! I was already bringing my own Almond Milk to Starbucks to avoid the unnecessary sugar in their Sweetened almond milk. Maybe I just don't care for Starbucks?? Today it arrived, along with my little 12oz French Press. I measured out 6oz of hot water (that's 3 espresso shots worth of liquid) and put in a heaping tablespoon of Teeccino, mixed it up, steeped for 4 minutes, poured it into a thermos with 3tbsp heavy cream, 10oz almond milk, 1 tbsp of Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener, gave it a shake and refrigerated it. Later that day we hit up a Starbucks. My wife got her usual, and I ordered a Venti cup of Ice. I poured the entire contents of my thermos into a half cup of ice, and it was Sugar Free Caffeine Free Heaven!! Seriously delicious, and it cost me $1 instead of $6! Next time I would use more Teeccino. I used 1 heaping tbsp to 6oz water. Maybe I'll try 2 level tbsp's or 2.5 to get a stronger flavor concentration. As for flavor etc, full disclosure, I'm not a coffee afficionado. I was already in my 30's by the time I stopped hating coffee and I can't stand Espresso that isn't in a Cappuccino, Flat White, or Latte. But here's my evaluation: Color: Looks like coffee/espresso Aroma: Smells like coffee/espresso/cacao, but not as permeating of a smell as real coffee Taste on its own: I regret trying Espresso every time I think I'll give it another shot. But Teeccino I would happily drink with nothing else added. It has the right notes of bitter and coffee to pass as coffee to me, with a cacao/mocha undertone. In an Almond Milk Latte with Cream: If Starbucks told me this was a new variety of coffee bean they introduced I'd believe it and order it every time. It's got the bitterness and complexity I'm looking for in a drink to sip on a long drive, kind of a mocha coffee bean hybrid. Fun Fact: My Dutch farther was telling me that during World War II in Holland, they would drink Chicory Root in place of coffee, or mixed with coffee beans, as there was a shortage of coffee beans and they were expensive. When I told him it was a Chicory Root base he immediately wanted to try it as he had heard of how it had been used in Holland back in the day. If you're looking for a caffeine free way to enjoy Starbucks type drinks again, definitely give this a try. If you're a coffee snob you probably won't see it as coffee as much as I do, but if you can't handle caffeine anymore then suck it up and appreciate that this even exists ;-)

Excellent herbal coffee

Para un consumidor habitual de café expreso o equivalente, la restricción de cafeína por indicación médica supone un problema. Esta presentación de achicoria (molida, a granel), representa una opción conveniente con relación a una bebida con un sabor parecido al café intenso, especialmente si se prepara en una prensa francesa. Aunque existe una presentación en sobres como los de tisanas ("té"), no alcanza la misma intensidad de sabor, que la presentación a granel.

Excelente

Sabe a tierra, no da la sensacion de estar tomando cafe.
