What’s your opinion about adding chicory to coffee? I know there’s a few places, like Café du Monde in New Orleans that offers coffee with chicory. It’s also sold as a mix in grocery stores in France.
I started trying it recently by adding a small teaspoon to my coffee in my French press and it gives a really smooth brew.
What do you think? Are you a purist? Have you tried it? What’s your opinion?
If I’m making New Orleans style Cafe au lait then sure. If I am trying to make some bad beans more drinkable then sure. But if I have some really good single origin light roast beans that are excellent on their own then no way.
Agree. I wouldn’t ruin an otherwise very good coffee either.
