Frequently Asked Questions About Chicory Turkish Coffee
What is Chicory Turkish Coffee?
Chicory Turkish Coffee is a drink made from roasted chicory root and prepared in the style of Turkish coffee. It contains no coffee beans when made from pure chicory, so its flavor is roasted and earthy rather than identical to regular coffee.
How do you make Chicory Turkish Coffee?
Make Chicory Turkish Coffee by simmering the product with water in a small pot, following its package directions for the amount and method. Pour carefully so any fine sediment settles in the cup instead of being stirred up.
Is Chicory Turkish Coffee caffeine-free?
Pure Chicory Turkish Coffee is caffeine-free because chicory root does not naturally contain caffeine. Some mixes may include coffee or other ingredients, so check the product’s ingredient list if avoiding caffeine completely.
Does Chicory Turkish Coffee taste like coffee?
Chicory Turkish Coffee has a roasted, earthy flavor that can remind people of coffee, but it is not identical. Chicory may taste mildly bitter or slightly sweet, and it lacks the characteristic flavor of roasted coffee beans.
Does Chicory Turkish Coffee contain inulin?
Chicory root naturally contains inulin, a type of fermentable fiber, so Chicory Turkish Coffee may provide some. The amount in a prepared cup varies with the product and brewing method; it should not be treated as a measured source of inulin.
Can Chicory Turkish Coffee cause bloating?
Yes, Chicory Turkish Coffee can cause gas or bloating in some people because chicory contains fermentable inulin. If you are sensitive to inulin, try a smaller serving or stop drinking it if symptoms persist.
Can you drink Chicory Turkish Coffee before bed?
Yes, Chicory Turkish Coffee made from pure chicory can be drunk before bed because it is caffeine-free. Its inulin may cause digestive discomfort for some people, so avoid a late serving if it tends to upset your stomach.
Is Chicory Turkish Coffee the same as instant chicory coffee?
No, Chicory Turkish Coffee is generally prepared by simmering chicory in water, much like Turkish coffee, and may leave sediment. Instant chicory coffee is designed to dissolve; the exact form depends on the product.
How should Chicory Turkish Coffee be stored?
Store dry Chicory Turkish Coffee in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture. Once prepared, refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and use them within a few days.
Is Chicory Turkish Coffee safe during pregnancy?
Chicory Turkish Coffee made from pure chicory is caffeine-free, but that alone does not establish that every product or amount is suitable during pregnancy. Ask your healthcare professional if you plan to drink it regularly, especially if you have a medical condition.

What is Chicory Turkish Coffee?
Chicory Turkish Coffee is made from roasted, ground chicory root rather than coffee beans, then prepared in the small-pot style used for Turkish coffee. It is a caffeine-free coffee alternative with a deep roasted aroma and a gently earthy, slightly bitter taste.
Serve it in a small cup, traditionally with a glass of water, after a meal or alongside a sweet. Let it warm gently in a cezve and take it off the heat before it boils over. Chicory Turkish Coffee provides fibre—3.7 g per 100 g—so it can be a satisfying warm drink without caffeine. It suits anyone avoiding caffeine, including in the evening; drink it plain or add a little milk to soften its roasted edge.
