Great tasting Instant Chicory. I usually add to coffee. Also mix with water and ice to make a nice refreshing cold drink.

This is my .... I can't even remember the number of times I bought this chicory coffee or drink as you like it to call. I like it. It has a very nice taste, not bitter, just pleasant taste and smell. I can't find anything better. So I am using it and I am happy with it. I think you will not regret if you buy it and give it a try to enjoy good quality chicory drink in the morning or late at night. Yes, I recommend it.

I decided to give this a try after reading about the benefits of chicory. I'm an avid coffee drinker and, in general, the stronger I can get it the better I like it. At home, I typically drink Bustelo (which is a finely ground espresso) but when I go out, I try to get the strongest, darkest coffee I can find. Now, make no mistake about it, this is NOT a replacement for that strong morning coffee, which I need to jolt me awake. I see this replacing the 3 to 5 or so other cups that I tend to have throughout the day and evening, as my comfort snack.

I made it using a 50% mix of water and milk (2%), which I heated to a slight boil. I used 3 heaping teaspoons per 12 ounces of my water/milk mix. And, voila, I loved it! I didn't need to add any sugar, as it's fairly sweet on its own. As the ingredients say this is 100% ground chicory, I actually ate a spoonful of it and I actually liked it; however, therein lies the only problem! Since I like it so much and can see myself drinking so much of it to replace many of my afternoon / evening coffees, I wish this stuff were a tad bit less expensive. This particular vendor (TheNewMall) sells this 2 pack for about $17, which seems to be a really good deal, so far, so I'm going to stick with it for now.

Again, it is definitely not a coffee replacement, as it is a little thinner and smoother. To that end, it reminds me of instant Sanka, without the gritty aftertaste. (I can never get Sanka grains to fully dissolve, no matter how hot I make my milk/water, but I do like it.) However, if it goes up in price any more, I would probably have to go back to my 5 Bustelo a day fix. But, for now, I'm definitely enjoying this!

On the jar the formula is three rounded teaspoons in a 8 oz (250 ml) cup of whole milk. I heated the milk in a microwave before putting in the chicory. The result is an excellent drink, slightly sweet and heady. I regularly use roasted and ground chicory in brewed coffee (both hot and cold brewed) but this is my first experience with instant Chicory. Good stuff!

Tastes delicious to me - slightly bitter, with a hint of caramel - and leaves a more pleasant aftertaste than coffee. No sugar added, which is also a bonus.

Dissolves quickly and easily in hot OR COLD liquid - I use a combination of water and soy milk - especially with stirring.

I've tried a few different "fake coffees" but this one is my favorite. I guess France really has this whole chicory beverage thing figured out. Great product and I'm on my fourth bottle.

If you enjoy mildly bitter tastes - like broccoli rabe, mustard greens, French press coffee - you'll enjoy this LeRoux chicory. You might even wish it was a touch more bitter (but maybe that's just me).
