Product Description
Chicory is a traditional Southern ingredient that can be added to coffee for a bolder, more intense flavor. Add it to your favorite Community® coffee blend and discover why chicory coffee is enjoyed in restaurants and homes across the South. Chicory is a blue-flowered plant in the dandelion family, and its roots have been cultivated and used for food and medicine as far back as ancient Egypt. Though when people first began mixing coffee with chicory is unclear, the use of chicory in coffee became particularly popular in 19th century France after Napoleon initiated the “Continental Blockade.” This trade blockade caused a major coffee shortage in Napoleonic France, so to make their limited supplies of coffee stretch, the French began roasting, grinding and mixing chicory root with coffee. Though chicory root lacks caffeine, it was widely available at the time and shares a similar flavor to coffee when roasted, making it a logical additive. Some even used chicory as a substitute for coffee altogether. This product contains a 3 pack of 12 ounces of ground coffee. Perfect for using in an automatic drip coffee maker, for cold brewing or for pour-over coffee. About Community Coffee Since Cap blended the first batch of Community® coffee, we’ve seen plenty of change — both inside and outside the company.

I usually just buy Chicory and add it to my Bold smooth blend coffee. But I bought probably 5 boxes of this over time. Each box comes with 3 one pound bags.
Let me start off with saying. "I love coffee." I drank it for years.... until I developed Meniere's disease. To help battle Meniere's you have to drastically reduce caffeine and sodium. I found out coffee in general brings on more Meniere's episodes... even decaffeinated. I've tried several other alternatives that claim to taste like coffee (they don't). Some are okay like Figgee brew or mudwtr. But the smell and taste of chicory is so close to coffee it's like the finding out coffee has a long lost step sibling, it's definitely my new brew of choice. The only con is it brews very...very dark. Unless you like dark brews, then I would use half the scoops you would for coffee. I'm very glad I found it. It's like coffee with a dab of nutty flavor and smell. So far it hasn't done anything to influence a Meniere's episode. Which is basically 4 to 8 hours of severe vertigo that leaves this 250lb man vomiting with even the slightest head movement. Thank goodness for Meclizine and Promethazine....and now Chicory.
I was a coffee roaster for over 40 years with my own roasting plant and brands. The 'coffee and chicory' blend I was raised with in New Orleans is a specific taste and I used to call it "the original flavored coffee' on my packaging. Kind of a mild caramel smooth coffee flavor without the bite of many of todays over roasted coffee's.
The chicory you see here from Community is available for anyone to make their own blend with any beans that suit their taste and the result will be a (in my experience) a superior cup. Another benefit is depending on the % of chicory used, the caffeine will be reduced by that amount, for those that need to watch that. I recommend a 25 to 30% chicory and go up or down according to taste. The 12 oz. bags go a long way and are both economical and a great way to 'up' your coffee experience. Community is a mainstay in the coffee industry and well respected for a consistent product. Try it.
Community Coffee Company had good products. This ground chicory always has been my choice for flavor and price. I have used their chicory and coffee for a number of years.
I’ve tried mixing with coffee and various creamers, strong and weak. It’s definitely not the wonderful drink as described. I simply can’t force it down. I made the mistake of purchasing the 3-pack based on tasty description. Now I’m stuck unable to at least return 2 bags of 3. If I bought at my usual store, I would have satisfaction. Now it will just be a warning to other potential customers and wasted money for me
