Cafe Du Monde Coffee Chicory, 15 Ounce Ground

Café Du Monde Coffee Chicory is hands-down my favorite coffee. I travel to New Orleans regularly for work, and this blend brings the flavor of the French Quarter right to my kitchen. It’s rich, bold, and smooth — with that distinct chicory taste that makes it so unique and comforting.Even better, I found I can get it cheaper on Amazon through Subscribe & Save than buying it locally or even when I’m in NOLA! If you’re a coffee lover or just want to bring a little bit of New Orleans charm into your morning routine, I highly recommend stocking up on this.

I ordered so many cans of this coffee. It used to taste good. I won’t buy ever again. It’s now been so stale. Taste awful! Not worth $10.00 a small can. Don’t buy! Who knows how old it is or when they ground it up? Buyer beware!

I've tried for YEARS to find a coffee that I can make at home that tastes more and feels more like the coffee I can get at a local cafe, I hate paying $6+ for a cup of coffee just so I can have that taste/texture. I only have a french press and a cheap drip coffee maker, so it's definitely a challenge because I don't have a fancy espresso machine like cafes have.....but this one changed all of that. This is the closest to cafe coffee I have ever had at home with the added benefits of chicory to boot!

Love this coffee. Great taste and always smells fresh when brewing.

This coffee with chicory comes vacuum sealed in a can which helps a good bit, though once it is opened it does lose flavor if not used soon. It appears to be a medium-dark roasted bean and the chicory gives it that warm, almost malted flavor that is hard to describe.The only chicory blend I can compare it to here so far from the coast in mid America is Luzianne which is more of a medium roast and not quite as aromatic as the Cafe du Monde brand when the packs are first opened. After a week or two open you really can't tell the difference. On the coast and fresh either one is much better.I'd suppose they first used chicory as a way of extending the expensive coffee beans during times of poverty but people people came to like the flavor, which is why some of us die hards still love it. One way we used to brew it was to start with twice as much compared to plain coffee in an old style recycling percolator and then overcook it. The resulting stuff which we used to call 'river coffee' was then mixed half and half with milk. Some of us used sugar and some didn't. With the modern coffee makers I just fill the Bunn filter, run water through and mix the product half and half with milk. Its not river coffee but it is flavorful and not at all skunky like so much of what is sold as gourmet coffee these days. (I don't know how some of the popular expensive coffee makers roast their coffee to make it smell exactly like a two day old skunk on the highway, but some people seem to like it.)The chicory in this can is a little bit lighter than the coffee but the granule size is uniform and not powdery.People ask, "What is chicory"? Chicory is the root from a flower the French used to grow in their gardens, the French equivalent to a dandelion with blue flowers. It is dried and roasted, ground like coffee. I have heard that originally people roasted it in frying pans; I've watched south American housewives doing that with regular coffee and there is an art to it.

My husband loves this coffee. It was great that we didn’t need to buy this in New Orleans and have to lug it home. We just didn’t have enough room in our luggage so this was a great option. This makes a great gift for friends and family as a momento for our trip.

This is great coffee. I went there in NOLA and this is very comparable to the coffee I had there. Perfect for those of us who prefer very dark roast coffee.
