Coffig Roasted Fig Beverage

I've tried 6 or 7 of the most popular instant-dissolving coffee substitutes, plus Coffig. Being a life-long coffee drinker, I'd say my first reaction to coffee substitutes is their weak taste and lack of body and fullness in the mouth, compared to a good ol' Americano. The Coffig product is different in that you make it in a coffee maker or steep it in a tea-bag type arrangement (I use a French Press). It has much more body and roundness than the instant types, plus a very subtle sweetness. The smell of it in the package is heavenly - mmmm - figs! One-half teaspoon makes 1 cup, without any weakness or thinness. With the instants I usually double the recommended amount. So the small Coffig package goes a long way. Also, after adding the hot water to the French Press, it can be poured almost immediately and does not take a couple of minutes to darken like regular coffee or tea.

One must pay close attention to the recommended brewing amount which is 1/2 tsp per cup otherwise you'll end up with a hot beverage that's like drinking molasses or old coffee that has been on a hot plate for hours. If prepared right it is not bad and does have some coffee like qualities. Per preference, sweeteners and cream may make it that much better. I would say it's better than Pero and I may buy it again.

Tasted awful, will never drink, straight into trash.

I love coffig and suggesting it to all my students. (I am a teacher and an Ayurveda Practitioner). I shall be suggesting it to my clients who are trying to find good coffee substitutes for sure. The flavor is amazing. The only downside is its a little expensive. (Otherwise five stars all the way). Do they know they have an Ayurvedic Coffee on their hands. Figs are said toincrease prana and ojas ( vitality, immunity and energy) and are a staple in Ayurveda in many forms.

I paid way too much for this fig Beverage

This is not Coffee but it tastes so Divine. I use this daily! I have found it helps to calm my intestines which seems to reduce the amount of seizures I have. Love this product!

I love this stuff. The Doc said no more caffeinated coffee. I used decaf but the acid still affected me. I have tried a lot of different hot beverage drinks including the Maya Nut beverage. This stuff rocks. I use a rounded table spoon in my drip coffee maker for 3 cups in my large coffee mug.. I add a 1/2 shot glass of my favorite coffemate creamer and wala....love the taste and on a cold morning it's delicious....I hope you feel the same way after trying it. Also to clarify...I tried it black with a little sugar. While the taste isn't unpleasant, this is strong stuff. Don't use more than a 1/2 teaspoon per cup. I prefer it with a little flavored creamer...

Great tasting! I have really been enjoying this coffee substitute. a little goes a long way.
