Cafix All Natural Instant Coffee Substitute & Alternative, 7.05oz (Pack of 1)

Great coffee alternative! My brother has acid reflux and hypertension and this is a healthy choice that I bought for him,. He loves it although it hard to cut out caffeine for most people but he adjusted. It's nice with a flavored creamer!

No caffeine! Taste like coffee.

Very good coffee alternative if you're caffine sensitive or what to cut coffee out because its pretty high in potassium (the case with me). Mixes very well in hot water, no clumping nor does it leave aweful sludge in the bottom of your cup like Postum does. Cafix is also priced better than other coffee substitutes.

If you absolutely must avoid coffee either because of the caffeine, the acidity, some medical issue or you just don't like the health effects, this is probably the best substitute I have found. It is made of roasted barley, rye, chicory, and sugar beets. One cup (one teaspoon of cafix), has 5 calories, 1 gram of carbohydrates and nothing else. It is, of course, naturally free of caffeine. Honestly, if you are a regular coffee drinker and you are going in to this expecting a delicious cup of coffee you will be disappointed. It simply is not. If you are open minded and are looking for a coffee-like drink that tastes fairly decent Cafix could be just what you are looking for. It can be served hot or cold. It can be mixed with milk, cream, sweeteners, etc. which improve the taste.

Delicious ! I had one cup after dinner.

I love this product but it arrived in an envelope. The product had burst open and was all over the envelope. They need to put this product in a BOX!!! WITH PADDING.

Always a good substitute for coffee. If you don't need the caffeine, it's a nice way to start the day.

I recently decided to give up coffee, including decaf, for health reasons. I drank coffee all day long, sometimes making a second pot in the early afternoon. I enjoy drinking a warm beverage throughout the day and wanted to find something to replace coffee. I buy a lot of things from Amazon.com and decided to start my search there. I found a number of products to choose from, and after reading the reviews, I decided on these three: Cafix, Caf-Lib, and Dandy Blend. The first thing you must do when trying any coffee substitute is to set your expectations. The reviews I read said these products tasted like coffee. They do not taste like any coffee I have ever had. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you are expecting a coffee-like taste when you try one of these, you will be disappointed. That was my experience. I drank my coffee black, and so that is how I prepared these. Perhaps with sweetener and/or creamer these do taste more like coffee. I ordered all three products from Amazon.com, and the first to arrive was Cafix. Thinking it was like coffee, I used a level teaspoon just like I would with instant coffee. It tasted like really weak coffee. I tried adding more to make it stronger, but it still did not taste like coffee, and I was disappointed. I finished the drink and put my cup in the dishwasher. After I thought about it for a while, I realized what I really wanted was a beverage I could drink throughout the day like I did coffee. Whether or not it tasted like coffee was not important. It's not that Cafix tasted bad, it wasn't what I was expecting. So I made myself another cup, and when I finished that one I made a third. By the end of the day I decided that Cafix wasn't so bad after all, I actually enjoyed it. A couple days later I received Caf-Lib and eagerly fixed myself a cup. First impression was good. Caf-Lib tastes similar to Cafix to me, but has more flavor. Caf-Lib is also stronger, so I use less to achieve the same strength. After comparing Cafix and Caf-Lib I decided that I prefer Caf-Lib. The next day Dandy Blend arrived, and I fixed myself a cup right away. The directions say to use a slightly rounded teaspoon for a strong coffee like drink, so that's what I did. Dandy Blend was a little slower to dissolve, requiring that I stir it longer. Not important really, just observation. Finally I took my first sip. To my amazement I found the taste reminded me of Caf-Lib and Cafix. I think the reason is because none of them have the bitter taste of coffee. They are all very mild. Dandy Blend's has slightly more flavor Cafix, but not as much as Caf-Lib. #1: Caf-Lib The most flavorful of these three and my favorite. I used one rounded teaspoon per cup. Has somewhat of a nut flavor. #2: Dandy Blend I used a slightly rounded (almost level) teaspoon per cup. It has somewhat of a smokey smell while stirring. More flavor than Cafix, but not as much as Caf-Lib. #3: Cafix I used one heaping teaspoon of per coffee cup. The taste is very mild. There are many factors to consider when choosing a beverage. I prefer to drink them black, while you may prefer to use creamer and/or sweetener. Only you can determine which one would you prefer with your favorite snack. The reviews are good as a starting point, but I suggest you try all three to discover which one you will enjoy the most.
