I like the many blends Gevalia offers but I had to stop ordering it because
I don't drink all that much coffee. Starbucks, IMO, is overrated. Cafe du
Monde? Is that coffee with chicory? My fiance brings me some sort of
coffee at times on his trips back from Lousiana... let me think... oh! it's
Community coffee with chicory. Historical note: chickory was added during
the American Civil War to stretch, if not replace, the coffee reserves.
Ditto in WWII. In fact, it was often brewed by itself as faux coffee.
