Best Coffee Substitutes of 2025

"I found Dandy Blend while needing a caffeine-free option. Initially skeptical, I now enjoy it just as much as coffee. Its rich, smooth taste is delightful, whether hot or cold. Plus, I love the health benefits of dandelion!"

"I bought Dandy Blend for my girlfriend, who can't handle coffee anymore. She was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, especially with creamer. It doesn't taste exactly like coffee, but it satisfies her cravings without any side effects."

"I was eager to try this instant dandelion tea. The convenience is fantastic—no more waiting for brewing! The flavor is earthy and rich, and I appreciate the great value for the amount provided. I'm definitely sticking with this!"

"I just started my second bag and it is soooo good! Never tried chicory before but it's delicious! I'm cutting way back on coffee and using this as a substitute. I measure 1 tsp of agave nectar into my cup, add cardamom, Folgers, and this French Chicory, pour boiling water over, and let it steep a few minutes. Great on cold winter mornings! Highly recommend."

"I've tried a few chicory root brands, but this is my favorite. The flavor can be very dark if brewed alone, so I mix it with coffee. My best ratio is 1/3 chicory and 2/3 coffee. This way, I enjoy the benefits of chicory without the bitterness. Excellent product!"

"Upon first taste, I wasn't sure. It was a little sweet and different. Determined to reduce caffeine, I kept drinking it and now I’m lost without it. I usually top it up with some regular coffee to balance the sweetness. My stomach feels sooooo much better!"

"I find Kaffree Roma to be a fantastic coffee alternative. It has a delicious, rich coffee-like flavor that truly satisfies me. As a lifelong coffee drinker, I was in search of a product that wouldn't go through a decaffeinating process, and this is it! I discovered it about six months ago and was sold from day one. I even take a jar with me when I travel because I can't imagine being without it!"

"As someone who had to stop drinking coffee, I tried Kaffree Roma and really enjoy it. It does take about four tablespoons to achieve a rich coffee flavor, but with plenty of cream and sugar, it's quite satisfying. I had to adjust to the 'instant' flavor, but it's worth it. Just a heads up, one container doesn't last long with my daily consumption!"

"My mother, who can't drink coffee, absolutely loves Kaffree Roma as her substitute. It's perfect for her, and I'm glad I found it for her!"

"This is a fantastic coffee substitute. It tastes just like coffee and is caffeine-free!"

"I enjoy coffee but try to limit my intake. This alternative has a decent taste without the acidity or caffeine issues. I really recommend giving it a shot!"

"I can't drink caffeine, and this is a wonderful substitute. I highly recommend it!"

"This Cafix coffee substitute brings back memories of a similar product from the 1970s. It has a rich, almost coffee-like taste, and I love that it’s caffeine-free. I can enjoy my afternoon ritual without worrying about staying awake at night!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this Cafix coffee substitute! It has a robust roasted flavor that's quite close to real coffee but without the jitters. I enjoy it black, and I believe it would also taste fantastic with some cream and sugar."

"After being diagnosed with IC, I thought I’d never find a warm drink for the morning again. This was recommended, and I was skeptical. However, after trying it, I can say it's wonderful! It’s a lighter taste that fits perfectly with what I was looking for. I’m so happy!"

"Ever since I discovered I'm pregnant, coffee has been impossible for me. I needed a warm, comforting drink for energy and alertness at work. This is it! I added some cinnamon and maple, and it tastes absolutely amazing. After two weeks, I see a notable improvement in my focus and energy levels. The organic, high-quality ingredients are the best part. I definitely recommend it!"

"I’ve been enjoying this drink every morning for a couple of years now. It helps me move and eases my morning aches and pains. I prepare it by mixing half a teaspoon with boiling water and adding my favorite creamer, and it’s perfection! The strong turmeric flavor reassures me it's genuine, and the bag lasts me about 4 to 5 months. I can also combine it with other morning supplements without overpowering the taste!"

"This product is really delicious and fun to make! I followed the package instructions for a latte with oat milk and dates, and it was excellent. I’ve also tried it with water and a cinnamon stick, which was perfect for me. I even bought some as Christmas gifts for my children's teachers and neighbors!"

"I've tried many chicory brands, but this is the only one that truly makes me feel like I'm having a cup of coffee! The flavor is full, smooth, and delicious."

"This is the first product I've found that actually tastes like real coffee without the caffeine. I will never buy anything else."

"I love this chicory mix! I've been mixing it with my coffee for over a year, enjoying a half coffee, half chicory blend. It dissolves instantly and tastes great!"

"I had to give up coffee due to health concerns, and I’m thrilled to have found this alternative. It’s delicious and reminiscent of coffee without the bitterness. I love that I can enjoy it just as much as my old caffeinated coffee!"

"I’m trying to cut caffeine and this has been the best substitute so far. The mocha flavor is fantastic, especially with sweet cream. Plus, I can still use my coffee maker!"

"I discovered coffee alternatives through this brand, and I’m amazed! It truly tastes like coffee and is caffeine-free, which is crucial for me. I’m not sacrificing flavor, and I’ll definitely be ordering more!"

"I absolutely love the taste of this product. I'm trying to wean off coffee, and brewing it alongside a smaller portion of coffee beans has been very tasty for me."

"Initially, I was skeptical about this alternative, but after trying it for the first time, my lattes turned out delicious without any strange flavors. I do wish it weren't quite so expensive, though."

"This is the closest I've come to coffee after avoiding it due to medical reasons. I enjoyed it thoroughly with a bit of sweetener and cream. I'm really glad I took a chance on it!"

"I’m now eight years into my wellness journey with functional mushrooms, and I’ve tried about 90% of products out there. I’ve heard good things about Beyond Brew, but I found it to be more of an additive than a true mushroom coffee. The earthy taste remains even with milk or sweeteners, which might not be for everyone. Also, the lack of dosage transparency raised some concerns for me. Though I appreciate the mild effects, I think I’ll stick with Lucid Super Coffee for its potency and quality."

"I switched from energy drinks to this product, and it has been a LIFE SAVER. It doesn’t give immediate energy, but I notice it kicks in within the first 1-3 hours and lasts all day. After taking a month off energy drinks for health reasons, I’m back to performing well at work."

"I really wanted to enjoy this product but it didn't quite work for me. My husband, who loves mushroom coffee, also gave it a shot. While the mushrooms are potent and it has less caffeine than MUD WTR, I found it difficult to mix and it tends to settle at the bottom. The taste was unpleasant, despite my attempts to improve it with honey or milk. I plan to keep an eye on it for any taste improvements, but for now, I’m going back to my preferred brand."
