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?

I quite like chicory in my coffee, but I find it also upsets my stomach a bit

Otherwise, I enjoy it in my instant coffee!

I also pretty much only drink instant coffee so don't take my opinion too seriously 😅

Funny. Usually chicory is used as an alternative to coffee because it is softer on the stomach.
