I enjoy coffee (and tea) quite a bit, and Iām always up to try a new flavor. However, Iāve learned to steer clear of ācoffee alternativesā because theyāre usually not great. FigBrew has changed my mind, they have truly unlocked the secret of a great coffee substitute!Itās very much like coffee, slightly nutty and sweet, with a robust, pleasant fig taste. It lacks the aroma of coffee, but then it isnāt coffee ā it actually doesnāt have much of a smell. It brews exactly like any other pod, and āblackā it tastes just like a fig flavored coffee, with almost no bitterness. Real dairy doesnāt curdle so you can doctor it up like your favorite joe; with cream and sugar, or more like tea with lemon juice and/or honey.Our whole family loves this stuff and itās caffeine free, so no one has to worry about drinking one too late in the day. Itās perfect in place of a decaf coffee, or an herbal tea, comforting and satisfying. I really didnāt expect to enjoy this so much, but I think itās a new house staple. I canāt think of a single reason not to give it 5 stars!! Iāve even started bring it with when I travel for work :)
