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 flavour.

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 flavours in either a ready-to-brew or an instant, powdered form. The brewing variety is more aromatic and flavoursome.
