Comment on Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee?
You can actually buy chicory coffee. I used it for a while as a coffee replacement.
Yeah. It’s very popular in Poland among old people. It reminds them their childhood

I didn’t know it is also used in Poland, here in Germany it’s mostly unheard of; other than by a few weirdos like myself.
In Poland it was popular as a breakfast drink for children in the 1980/1990s when I was a kiddo
It was common in France until my dad’s childhood, in the 60s. There were commercials for Ricoré (half coffee, half chickory) in the 80s. AFAIK, you can still buy it in all supermarkets.
Chicory coffee is still available in US, it has a history in New Orleans as well.
No it isn’t. Especially Caro Kaffee is a quite well known brand you can buy in every random supermarket.
I guess many GenZ kids wouldn’t know it, but everyone who had a grandparent that lived through the food sparse years after the war would.
I’m 34 and the only one I’d say, that would know much about it
