Coffee alternatives

Postby Cookie » Tue Jun 14, 2011 6:23 pm

Been trying this & very impressed with it. Has a low caffeine content at just 18mg per teaspoonful but a nice nutty flavour & if you use two teaspoons worth it gives a nice froth just like a double shot espresso but without the overly big hit of caffeine. With this its just a nice steady lift of energy, no jitters & you never notice it work out of your system.

Its makes a pretty good cuppa on a morning. Quite gentle on the palate & stomach. Tried three level teaspoons today, no difference in taste or energy levels so sticking to one or two from now on.

From an initial search it looks like UK only. I am sure there is something similar under a different name over here.

Email the company & ask directly.

Another nice alternative & caffeine free but it does get a little pricey for regular use.

Got some of this. Quite nice, looks & tastes like coffee but without any of the negatives.
