Coffig Original Organic Coffee Substitute, Roasted Fig Beverage, Caffeine-Free Herbal Energy Drinks, 3.52oz (100g)

so because i can no longer have caffeine or even decaf, i searched around everywhere looking for something similar to coffee to drink in the morning, that's when i found coffig. i was skeptical at first but finally broke down and purchased it. it then sat on my counter for almost 2 weeks before i gave in to it. i opened the package and it looked exactly like fine ground coffee but it still had a slight fig smell, not bad really, so i brewed myself a pot. it did not smell up the house like fresh brewed coffee does so eloquently but when it was finished brewing, it sure looked like coffee and it poured like coffee. i tasted it black, it even had a slight bitterness like coffee, so i added my creamer to it and lo and behold, it was DELICIOUS! it tasted like coffee! i am amazed and delighted by it! i can now have my morning "coffee" without all the nasty side effects! thank you coffig!

I really enjoy the Coffig, which is just figs. Great source of potassium. We also drink coffee, and Teecino roasted dandelion tea/coffee. I like all of them. I found that when you order the ground version it tastes better ~ to me. However, that may be a matter of measuring. Instructions are to use 1/2-1 teaspoon per cup. I measure 1 level tsp. into the tea pot shown in the picture, and let it steep, then strain as I pour. I drink it w/ 1/2 and 1/2. It comes out perfect. The tea pot holds enough for two of us to enjoy. I'm guessing it holds 12-24 oz.I've used the tea bags in the past. In the future if using them again, I'd simmer one tea bag in a small pot of water, rather than steep one tea bag per cup. The gentle simmer will bring out more flavor, and allow me to make more than one cup. All that said to imply that more of the Coffig measured per cup isn't necessarily better. For some it may be too strong. A stronger cup may taste a bit more fruity or tart than some may care for. Just a hunch. I served the tea bag to clients who have loved it. When my husband first tried the tea bag version in the past, he wasn't as keen on it. He picks up more flavor variations than I do, or is more adverse to certain tastes. But he likes the above formula, using 1 tsp. per teapot for the two of us.

Formally a Pero/Inka/Caffix drinker, for health reasons, I had to go grain-free, follow an A.I.P. diet and look for an alternative. I’m happy to have found this. Coffig is a comforting hot beverage that’s great after my evening meal. It also is satisfying as an afternoon “pick-up” without the worry of caffeine side effects. Coffig is dark, rich and is a bit more sweet than coffee. It is concentrated and a 1/2tsp will make a good cup. The consistency of the product itself is a fine powder that can be messy if you’re not careful. I now understand why it comes in a “tea bag” version. I purchased the 100g bag with the intent of brewing with reusable k-cup pods. Most of the time the pods would clog. Then I tried using the reusable k-cup pod as a tea-ball and that worked better, but left a lot of sediment on the bottom of the cup. Out of determination, I did an experiment by mixing Coffig with roasted chicory root granules and I’m very happy with the results. 2 parts chicory + 1 part Coffig worked great! The consistency changed and I was able to brew through a k-cup pod with no problems. Another benefit of this mix is that the chicory bitterness is offset by the Coffig sweetness. They balance each other perfectly for a more coffee-like experience. Maybe the makers of Coffig can make the blend and add it to their product line. Regardless, I’ll be purchasing again.

This is a wonderful alternative for people who can’t drink coffee. I enjoyed this product very much. I had been off of coffee for seven months by the time I found this, and was more than excited to try this after reading other reviews. Sadly, for me, I reacted to it as if I had consumed gluten. Loved the taste and it certainly satisfied me in the sense of I was missing my warm cup of coffee each morning. But as many people know, when you’re on AIP for gut /autoimmune issues, you know when you have a reaction to something. Really wanted this to work for me as I mentioned earlier, tastes great and satisfies that desire for a cup of morning coffee. I just don’t tolerate it.

Love this stuff! I am pregnant and have been avoiding coffee at home and feel a little left out. When I was pregnant ladt time I got Coffig sachets (tea bags) which were PERFECT! Couldnt find them this time so I decided to use a little metal tea infuser and this powder. Do not like ot as well (using it) but the taste is good. Including a picture of the infuser, it doesnt catch all the granules of the Coffig so it makes for a little grittier drink, but it's not a deal-breaker. I am happy with it... it makes me feel like I am drinking coffee and it tastes great!

Yum!! The taste of Coffig (perfect name!) is very very good. I really love it, and feel it’s what I’ve been looking for, for a long time. My husband likes it a lot, too. After getting rid of some coffee substitutes due to my gluten intolerance, I started drinking more decaf tea, but I was getting a bit tired of tea. I talked to a guy at Coffig who was very friendly and helpful. The new packaging will have “organic” on it. It’s my understanding that even the older packaging that doesn’t say “organic” on it, is organic, using only mission figs grown using organic methods. I think the organic certification will soon be reflected in all the packaging. *** BTW, Coffig is currently offering a special deal on their website, $59.00 and free shipping for 6 large, 7.05 oz. bags. This is equal to 12 smaller bags (3.52 oz.)., a great bargain, especially if you expect to drink a lot of Coffig, as I do. *** The person I talked with said that Coffig lasts for many years, and that Coffig would replace a package if I ever felt that it had lost flavor.
