I alternate coffe with orzo coffee, barley coffee, or chicory coffee. They look like coffe, taste like coffe but have no have caffeine. And "natural". It's good to trick the addiction. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_11?k=barley+coffee https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_11?k=barley...

  Yeah, I'm not sure what coffee they've been drinking, but I've never found e.g. chicory to be anything even slightly like good coffee.

  > For wildly varying values of 'taste'... Well there are a lot of coffee flavours and a infinity of opinions on them. So this will not be different. For me there is more to it than the taste of a "good coffee", which I obviously also can't replace. Like coffee, these hot drinks, provide me a comfort, that no hot chocolate or tea can achieve.

In the UK, a traditional 'favourite' dating back to the British India times is Camp Coffee, which is caffeine free and mostly made out of chicory: http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/opinion/73374815/sad-story-brews-in-a-camp-cup-of-coffee http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/opinion/73374815/sad-st... It comes as a black treacley syrup in a jar, which you mix with hot milk. I'll admit to never having been brave enough to try it; these days you mostly find it in the cooking section of the supermarkets, as it has a following in cake-making. Disturbingly, I think Camp Coffee might be less frightening than another old UK 'favourite', Mellow Birds: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Mellow_Birds_Instant_Coffee_Powder__Review_5498847 http://www.ciao.co.uk/Mellow_Birds_Instant_Coffee_Powder__Re... (which does have caffeine in it, but not much)

I much prefer chicory to coffee. It tastes like coffee but without the bitterness, and without the caffeine (which is a big plus for me, as I try to avoid it).
