Coffee Substitutes
Preparation, uses, and tips
If you’re trying to reduce your coffee intake, add brewed coffee substitute to regular coffee to slowly kick the habit. Use an espresso maker for brewed coffee substitutes with a deeper, richer flavor.
Buying and storing tips
Look for coffee substitutes in the coffee and tea section of health food stores and grocery stores. Store them, tightly sealed, in a cool, dark cupboard.
Varieties
Coffee substitutes are available in a variety of flavors in either a ready-to-brew or an instant, powdered form. The brewing variety is more aromatic and flavorful.
