Orzo Buono: Organic Barley Coffee Substitute [ Italian Import ] (Soluble Barley, 200g/7.05 Oz)EU Organic

This is a fine powder, much like mushroom coffee. It costs about the same as the Roma coffee substitute that I've used in the past. Roma is a combination of barley and chicory. I also use Teecino, which is chicory, but in my opinion, chicory has a distinct flavor and leaves a bit of an aftertaste so I began looking for something that had no chicory in it.What makes this barley beverage so good is the way it's roasted. I opened the bag and it reminded me of freshly brewed coffee! The flavor was just as impressive as the aroma! It has much more of a coffee-like taste to it.I'm thrilled! Rght now, I made it a bit weaker and mixed in a scoop of my favorite mushroom coffee, a bit of raw sugar and vegan cream (sometimes real cream!) and I'm a happy writer!!!!!!

I'm off coffee because of bladder issues. But I discovered orzo on a recent trip to Italy where a "Caffè di Orzo" is available in most every "bar". It works for me! A great alternative to herbal tea.

If you already know what orzo is, I can say that this is an excellent one. It’s as good, if not better, than Orzo Bimbo. If you are unfamiliar with orzo and looking for a coffee substitute, know this is not going to taste like coffee, but it is a delicious hot drink. It has a nutty, slightly bitter quality. This one, when mixed with hot water and with a bit of half and half or milk, has a vaguely cocoa-y quality.I will definitely keep buying this!

I LOVE COFFEE! I love the taste. I love the full body of a good coffee. Never found a substitute that came close......possibly until now. I just finished my first cup of Orzo Buono and I think I have struck gold. It was absolutely delicious. It really was like having a good cup of coffee.Granted I drank it mid afternoon, which I would not do with high octane coffee, but I am really impressed. I may do a 50/50 blend with coffee for a bit but I'm hopeful Orzo Buono will be come a good habit.If you are looking for a good coffee substitute don't hesitate. This is worth trying.

I believe it’s better for health than regular coffee but I wasn’t impressed by the flavor. I wouldn’t buy it again. The quality is great, no doubt, the product is good, no complaints

Since I can’t drink coffee, I drink this Organic Soluable Barley in place of coffee. I drink it black as I would coffee and you can make it to the strength you desire. I use 2 heaping tbls to a mug of boiling water. It’s strong and tastes very similar to espresso. I love it.

I drank barley (and chicory) coffee substitute for many years and I was excited to finally find an organic version. The package isn't great but I just refill it.The beverage is delicious and dilutes well!

I take one of the mushroom superfood supplements every day and was putting it in coffee or cocoa to obliterate the taste. When my digestive system went all touchy and it seemed best to stop coffee and chocolate for a while, I couldn't find a brand-name coffee substitute that suited me (carob is a problem for me). Luckily, I found this. I mix it with the mushroom stuff, a small amount of roasted chicory, a tiny bit of honey - mesquite honey is great with it - and sometimes a teaspoon of coconut cream. For me it's perfect. My husband doesn't care for it - he doesn't like coffee or black tea, either - so yay, it's all mine! I'm extra happy that it's certified organic, because I prefer that, especially for grain products.
