nuKAF Chicory K Cups, Kosher 100% Chicory Root K Pods for your Keurig, Keurig K Cups Coffee Alternative by Gourmanity [12 count]

Tastes pretty good

I've always loved the flavor of Chicory Coffee. I had a health issue that required me to lay off caffeine but I didn't want to give up my morning Joe. Coffee is/was very important to me. I started looking for coffee alternatives in K-Cup form and came across this. 🎉🎉🎉 I like it better than my usual Community Chicory Coffee. The first time I made it I used 8oz water and It was relatively strong flavored so the next time I used 10oz. It makes the perfect cup of delicious flavored faux coffee! I'm here in Amazon too but more, but thought I'd go ahead and leave a review while I'm here.

There is too much chickory in each pod. Way too strong and not a great flavor. I drank 2 of them and threw the rest away.

In preparation for a medical procedure one of the prerequisites was to avoid any blood thinners for 2 weeks. I find it hard to make it throughout a day without coffee so I quick needed an alternative that could get me by. I have had a good experience with the Community brand coffee half coffee and half chicory, so I thought that chicory would be the best alternative. I found it very difficult to even find any 100% chicory K cup option. I stumbled on the nuKAF brand and looked at the reviews. I knew from the reviews to expect a pronounced bitterness of which some people loved, but others hated. I like to add a non dairy creamer to my coffee so I like to have a little bit of boldness to the coffee flavor. Noting that I might expect a little bite to the nuKAF brand I ordered a 6 pack of the K cups and hoped for the best.When I first tried the nuKAF brand I was not pleased with the flavor. I could not over power the bitter chicory edge no matter how much of the creamer I was using at the time (milkadamia) that I doused it with. I also found that same problem when trying to neutralize the bitterness with the nutpod brand creamer. Flat out I could not rid the unwanted bitterness with an unsweetened creamer option.There has been a sweetened non dairy brand that I have been using occasionally, Planet Oat brand. First I tried this with the Vanilla flavor, but found this chicory/creamer combination to taste too mediciny. Finally I tried this with Planet Oats Caramel flavor and to my delight found that I really do like this combination of the bitter chicory with the complimentary flavor of caramel. I am beyond the phase where I needed to avoid blood thinners, and yet I am finding it easier to enjoy more cups per day without any caffeine afternoon side effects.I don't know if it even would be possible to have a medium roast with the nuKAF brand, perhaps that is why the buying options for chicory are so limited. If this was possible it might be possible for myself to enjoy this type of K cup without adding a creamer with sugar in it.

very happy to find chicory pods

Very strong flavor. Upset my stomach and I couldn't finish.

I have used chicory root and dandelion root as a coffee alternative before. For the chicory, I have used the "instant" and the kind you boil (not recommended).I hesitantly decided to try this k-cup chicory and am so glad I did. I will never go back to regular decaf or anything else. I just bought 3 more boxes of it.When I read all the reviews that noted how strong it was, I thought "bring it on!" I love a strong cup of coffee and this did not disappoint. For anyone who doesn't like it strong, you can just add water - and you're getting more product out of it, so added benefit for you.Chicory also contains inulin (fiber) and it helps keep you regular (another benefit). If you love a strong cup of coffee but don't want the caffeine or a crappy cup of decaf, you will most likely love this. For me, I drank decaf bc I don't like the caffeine jitters but I love the taste and smell of good cup of coffee. This is so much better than decaf. I am hooked forever on this product.

Im an avid coffee drinker BUT as I age I can't have my usual 5pm cup without staying up way too late! It's not in my DNA to buy decaf!!!! This is the best alternative. One note: if you don't like super super strong coffee you will need to fix on the largest setting a couple of times to get it perfect
