Chicory coffee (instant, 60%) tastes coffee-like, with a roasted, earthy note from chicory root. Its coffee flavor is more pronounced than that of a drink made entirely from roasted chicory.
Stir chicory coffee (instant, 60%) into hot water until it dissolves. Follow the serving directions on the package, then add milk or a plant-based drink if you like; it does not need to be brewed like ground coffee.
Usually, compared with an equal serving of plain instant coffee, because part of the blend is chicory rather than coffee. The exact difference depends on the serving and the coffee used, so the blend is not a reliable caffeine-free substitute.

Chicory coffee (instant, 60%) blends roasted chicory root with instant coffee; 60% of the blend is instant coffee. Made like other instant drinks with hot water, it has a familiar coffee-like character alongside chicory’s gently roasted, earthy flavour. The proportion of chicory can give the cup a slightly different, often rounder taste than coffee alone.
It can be sipped at breakfast or as a coffee-style drink later in the day, plain or with milk. Compared with regular coffee, this blend is lower in caffeine, while chicory contributes fibre. A medium teaspoon is about 2 g, so you can adjust the strength easily. Add milk for a softer cup, or enjoy it black if you prefer the roasted notes to stand out.
