Yes, it contains caffeine because it includes instant coffee. The amount varies with the product’s coffee-to-chicory ratio and how much you use, so it is not equivalent to caffeine-free chicory coffee.
Stir the blend into hot water until it dissolves. You do not need to brew or boil it like ground coffee; add more or less of the mix to suit your preferred strength.
It tastes roasted and somewhat bitter, with an earthy note from the chicory. Compared with instant coffee alone, the blend may taste less straightforwardly coffee-like; the exact flavor depends on the proportions in the product.
The blend contains instant coffee as well as chicory, while pure chicory coffee is made from roasted chicory root. That means the blend contains caffeine, whereas pure chicory coffee is naturally caffeine-free.
Yes, you can add milk after dissolving the blend in hot water, or prepare it with hot milk. Dairy or plant-based milk can soften the drink’s roasted, bitter notes.
Yes, it can replace a cup of regular coffee if you enjoy its roasted, slightly earthy flavor. It still contains caffeine, and its strength may differ from your usual coffee, so adjust the amount to taste.
No, it is not caffeine-free because instant coffee is one of its ingredients. Choose pure roasted chicory coffee instead if you want a coffee-style drink without caffeine.
It may interfere with sleep because the instant coffee contributes caffeine. If caffeine affects you, choose a caffeine-free drink in the evening; adding chicory does not cancel out the caffeine.
Yes, you can use it to add roasted coffee-and-chicory flavor to recipes such as cakes or desserts. Dissolve it in a small amount of the recipe’s liquid first to help it mix evenly.
Yes, but count its caffeine toward your total intake during pregnancy. The amount varies by product and serving, so ask your doctor or dietitian about a suitable limit for you.

Instant coffee and chicory coffee blend combines soluble coffee with roasted chicory root, so it dissolves quickly in hot water. Chicory brings a deep, roasted bitterness that rounds out the coffee flavour; because the blend contains coffee, it is caffeinated rather than a caffeine-free coffee substitute.
Stir it into hot water for a quick cup, or add milk if you prefer a softer taste. It works well as a simple morning drink or an afternoon pick-me-up, and is low in calories when served without sugar or creamy additions. Pair it with toast or a biscuit, or keep the cup lighter by choosing a small splash of milk and skipping sweeteners.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
