French MarketCoffee, Coffee & Chicory, Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 12 Ounce Metal Can

I've been drinking both the caffeine and decaf versions for years. I first tasted chickory/coffee in New Orleans at the French Market.

BREAKFAST COFFEE BEST FOR ME WITH HOT MILK.

Es un buen café, sabor diferente para los amantes del café y de probar cosas diferentes.

Many years ago my first cup of coffee was a cup of coffee and chicory: very milky with sugar. It certainly set me off on a life of serious coffee drinking. In those days, coffee and chicory was the cheaper option; instant coffee and chicory was the cheapest option. But its milder flavour and (completely unverified data alert) lower acidity meant, at least, that you could drink it all day without losing your mind.Strangely, today, it appears on Amazon as just about the most expensive coffee a chap can find. The current price works out at £20GBP/lb weight. That is FOUR TIMES the price of some estimable and widely available 100% coffees. You’ll think me mad, but I am still pleased with my purchase. For special occasions, and those mornings where I don’t have to rise quite so early, it fits the bill; and it’s still cheaper than actually buying a coffee rather badly made by a stranger.My only real gripe is in the (very attractive) packaging: a ring pull cap with a re-sealable plastic lid. The plastic lid is so badly made that mine actually disintegrated on first use. At £20/lb one might reasonably expect something with a screw thread.My ‘hack’ (as I understand we have to say these days) is to deploy an alternative lid, which can be sourced from either East End® brand butter ghee, or Geffen’s® breadcrumbs – either of which will set you back another £3.50.As I say: very expensive coffee.

Taste is too bitter for me
