French Market Medium-Dark Roast Coffee and Chicory 340g

I would have preferred to have the decaf version cause I don’t really have caffeine. Luckily this seems to be quite mildly caffeinated and hasn’t caused any issues for me. Has a lovely rich taste, I make it a bit more mild, but it definitely has a strong taste if you use the recommended amount. Definitely would purchase again!

Many years ago my first cup of coffee was a cup of coffee and chicory: very milky with sugar. It certainly set me off on a life of serious coffee drinking. In those days, coffee and chicory was the cheaper option; instant coffee and chicory was the cheapest option. But its milder flavour and (completely unverified data alert) lower acidity meant, at least, that you could drink it all day without losing your mind. Strangely, today, it appears on Amazon as just about the most expensive coffee a chap can find. The current price works out at £20GBP/lb weight. That is FOUR TIMES the price of some estimable and widely available 100% coffees. You’ll think me mad, but I am still pleased with my purchase. For special occasions, and those mornings where I don’t have to rise quite so early, it fits the bill; and it’s still cheaper than actually buying a coffee rather badly made by a stranger. My only real gripe is in the (very attractive) packaging: a ring pull cap with a re-sealable plastic lid. The plastic lid is so badly made that mine actually disintegrated on first use. At £20/lb one might reasonably expect something with a screw thread. My ‘hack’ (as I understand we have to say these days) is to deploy an alternative lid, which can be sourced from either East End® brand butter ghee, or Geffen’s® breadcrumbs – either of which will set you back another £3.50. As I say: very expensive coffee.

Morning coffee but not as good as I Romberg it in New Orleans years agi

This isn't as good as Community Coffee New Orleans blend, but it's pretty good. Arrived early, too.

Lovely dark strong coffee, but cost and import duty are heavy

This is a lovely coffee, dark and rich and superb...!!!

Looking at the other reviews I’m not sure whether I’m a Philistine or just got a bad can! The coffee tastes bitter and smells stale; I can’t discern any chicory in it at all. I won’t be finishing the can and won’t be buying it again, completely not my thing.

Will purchase this always, tastes amazing, may thanks

With the price of coffee these days, this French Market Coffee & Chicory is a great value. The flavor is strong, rich, and satisfying, with that classic coffee-and-chicory taste that reminds me a lot of Café Du Monde. I usually drink my coffee black, and this has plenty of flavor on its own without tasting weak. It also holds up well with cream, which is nice because the coffee flavor still comes through. The can is durable and does a good job keeping the coffee fresh between uses. Overall, I’m very happy with this coffee. It has a bold taste, good freshness, and excellent value for the price. I would definitely buy it again.

I am not a fan of preground coffee in a can, i prefer whole beans ground just before use, BUT I have prepared this coffee in 3 different ways. Phin/Vietnamese, Moka Pot, and percolator. This is a pretty mild and smooth coffee. It has a lot of flavor, the chicory. It was a bit to week for me with the Phin, and was ok in the moka pot, not my favorite. I prefer a heavy espresso. I have a single origin organic espresso roast from mexico i really like for that. I did read the French Market suggest you brew this in either a drip machine or percolator, and I dont allow drip machines on my property!! So it went in the percolator. This was by far the best method of brewing for this coffee so far. I do intend on brewing in a vacuum/siphon pot. Really what i would use this coffee for is when you have a bunch of guests over and want to pull out the big 12 cup percolator, or for me most likely is for camping. Id bring this can and that should get threw the weekend. I'd brew it in the big perc on an open campfire. The French Market says to serve 50/50 coffee to warm milk. I did just that out of the percolator, and it makes a nice smooth mellow, but also flavorful cup. A good coffee and method if you like a piping hot cup!!

I struggle with both GERD and Restless Let Syndrome. Caffeine aggravates both these conditions - even the very small amount of caffeine that still exists in supposedly "low acid" coffee. I've tried every kind of coffee, every blend imaginable, and every low acid, decaffeinated absolutely tasteless mixture out there. All of them over priced, and under delivered. This actually tastes like a really GOOD CUP OF COFFEE!!! And I've actually had a cup late in the evening - no dancing queen legs. no upper right quadrant pain that feels like my stomach is trying to digest itself. Really can't say make enough positive comments!

First and foremost, my favorite coffee is made by Community and it's a coffee and chicory blend. It's so delicious and full of flavor, I highly recommend it to all. Sometimes it's hard to find locally and it can be expensive when purchased online, so this French Market chicory is my backup option. The French Market coffee is good, definitely worthy of 4 stars, and the price is decent, and the tin can is cute. It isn't quite as flavorful as the Community brand and it isn't as uniformly ground. I'm honestly not sure if anyone cares about the uniformity of the grounds but I thought I'd add that bit of feedback just in case. So, overall, I'm happy with the product and will probably buy another can sometime in the future. If you like chicory, give it a shot!

Fantastic value The aroma fills the entire house The chicory gives it smoothness
