I love coffee, even decaf - but like many, need to cut WAY back for health reasons (reflux, gastritis).  Years ago, I drank and enjoyed Postum, a powdered grain-based product that you stir into hot water like instant coffee. It was very good, as long as you don't try to think of it as "almost coffee."  Instead, it is a hot brown liquid with a pleasant taste that gives you much of the satisfaction of coffee, without all the acid or caffeine.  Postum was discontinued a few years ago, and instead I have use "Kaffree Roma" toasted grain instant beverage and "Cafix" - each containing roasted barley and chicory, and both available on Amazon. Both are very good - better than Postum - but clearly not coffee. I stumbled on Roastaroma in a grocery store and decided to give it a try.  Drinking my very first cup now - I made a big 10 oz mug with one bag. I like strong coffee, and this is pretty robust. And more coffee-like than any of the powdered beverages I mentioned. You do get the nice overtones of the carob, cinnamon, allspice, and star anise, but they stay in the background.  Really delicious stuff.  I drink my coffee black and this "tea" needs no sugar or creamer for my taste. Quite remarkable, I am certainly going to buy more. I paid $2.99 for a box of 20 bags.
