## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this work well with a cofee french press?**
A: I think it would work fine.....it work fine in the coffee maker you just don't use as much Chicory. I use only about two tablespoons of the Chicory and do the whole pot in the coffee maker. About a third as much chicory as I use coffee.  You will have to experiment yourself on how much to use in the french press just remember the chicory is stronger.

**Q: is the information correct that one pound only makes 3 to 3 1/2 cups?**
A: Hello.  There are 3-3.5 cups of chicory root in a one pound bag.  To make a cup to drink you need approximately 1-2 tablespoons of chicory root (depending on the taste you desire).  Thank you.

**Q: You can't just stir this in hot water like instant coffee?**
A: No you can't.  This is not instant granules, it is like a course coffee.  I make it with my Keurig.

**Q: Will this work in a k-cup machine with a reuseable filter?**
A: I don’t know what a k-cup machine is. I use about a teaspoon of chicory in a tea ball (a small sphere of screen-like ball for brewing loose tea) and pour boiling water over it inside a cup, stir and dunk it up and down a few times, and remove it from the cup. The tea ball is a “reusable filter.”  The chicory does not melt. The hot water extracts the flavor out of the granules, just like coffee grounds.  Try it in your k-cup machine. Experiment. Enjoy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Freshness! price

There Great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious great value
*by J***E on 8 May 2026*

This chicory is delicious. A little bit goes very far. And it is a perfect compliment to my coffee.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tastes like chicory; large granules; this is not instant, yet it's roasted, and requires filtering.
*by Z***H on 13 April 2018*

Tastes the same? As opposed to the norm of politely terse or vaguely opined reviews that reveal little about the product's distinctness and the saintly few who no-nonsense blast out their pros and cons unsparingly, but with consideration and the still fewer who delineate the nuanced experience over time with disclaimers that don't start with "i didn't expect to like this but..." "I was surprised to"... lots of exact percentages here. and guarantees of tasting the same. If people exaggerate or gloss over, rounding up, usually the reviews are more unhinged and less specific but somehow viscerally true seeming. this tastes like chicory. it tastes good. not a huge fan of the packaging. It could have been less toxic/more eco friendly. Is it roasted high heat and if so does this damage the benefits such as vitamin C etc etc as listed in the blurb? I got this for the inulin for anti-inflammatory benefits for my mother. I puzzled for awhile whether I should have gotten the unroasted root. Please don't guarantee it's exactly the same as unroasted, also. I think introducing chicory is a great idea. I think the revolution can take off simply by having a great super-healthful product with packaging that looks like someone cared about it. I'm not saying fancy; it could afford to match the photo, though, to give the impression of brand stability. It's pretty soothing. I ended up drinking some to add some taste to the coffee since my mother doesn't seem to take to it. The granules are huge and they do not dissolve. And indeed they say to filter it like coffee. I imagine there would be more flavor and the process would be more intuitive if they were ground like coffee. I guess I expected something like what I know now must be instant chicory, the kind you mix in. I also got it to add some color to some cosmetics. This does not release much color though I soaked it for a long time. Even less color in oils. Which is what I wanted it for. I will try grinding it but I think the instant might have been a better idea. It is a huge bag, which should be good news for people who have integrated this into their daily lives. I do like it in the coffee, although I don't use a filter and the granules float around throughout the cup, unlike coffee that generally sinks to the bottom. Monterey Bay says it's not sprayed with pesticides but nowhere does it claim organic. i guess it's hard to get certification. I get that but maybe say it? Esp. these days with the unregulated stuff from India which is unfortunate because stuff from their in theory is great. so in terms of taste it's good, i don't know how people keep rattling off these percentages with such aplomb--it's really not exactly the same and i got the sense this was a "hey try chicory it's totally the same!" like, "I can't believe it's not butter" was "exactly like butter" in the 90s. No. Chicory has its own unique and nice flavor. Admittedly I got into it because of New Orleans coffee and chicory-laced cold brew. the practicality and the uses I got it for, were not what I expected, however. I think i will probably take five years to get through this bag in which case I hope my mother discovers its anti-inflammatory efficacy, which I cannot discern, other than the soothing properties of the caramelly flavor, and the fact that it's not coffee so it's soothing by default.
