    • Be able to have as many tasy warm drinks as I want, whenever I want
  • Coffee Alternatives:
    • Teeccino [[purchased]] [[caffeine-free]]
      • Link:: Teeccino
      • Link:: Amazon
      • Form:: Tea bag or grinds
      • French Roast
        • Doesn’t taste like coffee, but does hit some of the right notes.
        • It’s a little weak if you’re expecting coffee. Two teabags helps some.
        • Taste:: Robust, dark, chicory, a tiny bit sweet,
        • I think they’re selling themselves short, or setting themselves up for failure by claiming to taste like coffee. It’s more like a really nice, robust tea
        • Try brewed
        • Try with hot milk instead of water
        • Try iced brew
        • try iced latte

        • Pretty tasty! Two pouches. Didn’t mix super well and was stronger at the end. Might need to let it desolve longer and then stir again.
