I've recently started making dandelion coffee, which is prepared by chopping up the roots and roasting them. It tastes similar to coffee. It has nutty, roasty and flowery flavors. I'd say it's less complex than a quality roasted coffee, but it has a nice flavor. It doesn't have any unpleasant flavor like really cheap coffees (Maxwell House, Chase and Sanborn, Folgers, etc). I think if you gave most people this and told them it was coffee, they wouldn't argue with you.
