Even if you don't care for "flavored coffee", try the Teeccino Vanilla Nut. In the health care clinic where I work, we introduce our clients to Teeccino to help them find a decent coffee substitute. You still experience the brewing and aroma with Teeccino. I'm a real coffee person & this is the best substitute. It is an alkalizing product (coffee is acidic). You can also add some along with the coffee grounds when you make a pot of coffee.
