Health EmbassyAcorn Coffee Substitute 100g

to me it tastes a bit like a weak hot chocolate with trace of oriental spices. I made my own the year before but could not be bothered with the time it took to rinse the bitter substances this year. This one is just like the real thing. love it.

The quality presentation was up there and I gave it a try, there’s just plenty alternatives I prefer.

I wouldn’t say this is a coffee substitute. It’s very expensive for what it is and after the messing around of making it in a pan and draining etc, I am sticking to coffee. I’ve kept this bag for Christmas time as you can taste the cinnamon in it. Will try it mixed once made with hot chocolate and see how that tastes

Great gift for my coffee loving mother and grandma! Highly recommend !!

Acorn has a nice smell and taste when made as a drink. But not in this product - who decided to add spices and what for???The taste and smell - awful !!! All you feel is that you drink cloves!They should have made a version with just PURE acorn - this one is undrinkable!!!

An interesting, strong taste

Lovely packaging and great alternative to coffee

This coffee substitute tasted absolutely vile and left a half inch of disgusting grit in the bottom of the cup. Tipped it on a house plant which promptly died!

Like other reviews say, this is nothing like coffee. As long as you know that, it's not a bad drink. I decided to try it b/c it was in a survival game that I play and got curious, but I'm not disappointed. Between the cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and clove for flavor it definitely reminds me of Christmas. Acorns have many health benefits and I'll continue drinking it. It's not an exciting drink by any means since the roasted acorns don't seem to have any depth of flavor, but I'm looking forward to exploring the different ways to make it more tasty. ♥

The delivery took a little while to come. The. Acorn coffee itself is good but the package size is very small which means it won't last very long which will require frequent ordering if you are using it regularly.

I can't really knock it for being what it is, but that said this isn't really a substitute for anything. It's an acorn-based drink, period. I suppose you could call it a coffee substitute insofar as you could substitute anything that isn't coffee. Like tea, soda, or a picture of coffee taped to a glass of water.It's pretty bitter, and doesn't taste at all like coffee. With enough cream and sugar it's palatable, but the same is probably true of day-old dishwater. Again, maybe it's an acquired taste, so I can't in good conscience rate this lower than a 3 because it is in fact exactly what it advertises to be and my personal preference isn't their fault.Why did I buy it, you might ask? Mainly because acorn coffee was added to a survival game I play, and I was curious what it tasted like.

Not simply "drop in your mug and good to go"Needs to be cooked the water for about 8 minutes, and then steep for another 10.Pretty mild unoffensive flavor. Definitely not a "coffee substitute", closer taste to a tea.Smells absolutely delicious though

I purchased this for my son, who tries to stump me with weird "Wish List" requests. He was delighted when i came up with this in answer to his request this Christmas. He loved it! His wife says it tastes awful, but he says it's okay with lots of sugar and a little cream.
