What’s your opinion about adding chicory to coffee? I know there’s a few places, like Café du Monde in New Orleans that offers coffee with chicory. It’s also sold as a mix in grocery stores in France.
I started trying it recently by adding a small teaspoon to my coffee in my French press and it gives a really smooth brew.
What do you think? Are you a purist? Have you tried it? What’s your opinion?
It was used as a cheap replacement/filler in coffee during the German occupation in WW2 where i live. I think it’s quite gross and tastes bad. Saying that the coffee must be from an old WW2 stock is often used as a reference/joke here when you have really bad tasting coffee.
Interesting. Where are you from?
