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?

    Chicory in coffee? Probably not. Brewed chicory though? Not bad but it’s just another drink imo. Blue Bottle also does a chicory drink that’s pretty good.

      Blue bottle does the NOLA style, or New Orleans and it’s delicious, one of my favorite treats.

      I do drink it by itself in the afternoon. Coffee will keep me awake and anxious all night otherwise.
