Pero Instant Original Natural Beverage 7 oz

I was disappointed when I could no longer drink coffee for medical reasons, and I tried several coffee substitutes. Of the ones I've tried, Pero is my favorite. It has a rich, warm aroma and taste, and with a little sweetener (I use stevia extract) and milk, it's delicious and satisfies that coffee desire. I prefer Pero hot (4 grams with 12 oz of water) with 1.5 oz of low fat milk. It's very tasty, and helps get the day off to a great start. Recommended.

In the early 1960s my father was stationed in Stuttgart, West Germany, it was there that I was introduced to 'Caro Kaffee' known as Pero in the United States. The recipe did not change nor did the flavour, it's a great way to have a late night hot drink, without caffeine.

I like this better than another grain beverage I was using. It tastes much more like actual coffee. I will still get the other for a more grain beverage taste when I need a change. I have to hydrate to help my kidneys, so water is my priority. I have a problem with coffee anyway because of acid reflux. I drink acid free and decaf coffee now and then and I am glad I found Pero since acid free decaf is becoming scarce.

I had to quit coffee a while ago because it was really bothering my gut and aggravating my GERD. I turned to Pero because I remembered my grandma drinking it when I was a kid, and I am so glad I did! The Flavor %26 Versatility: I've found that I absolutely love it. I make it a little stronger than the recommended serving, but that's the beauty of it—it's versatile, and you can easily adjust the strength to suit your taste. My Daily Ritual: It has been part of my morning for six months now, and I honestly don't even miss coffee anymore. I treat it exactly like I used to treat my coffee, but even better: The Latte Process: I add vanilla, cinnamon, and Stevia directly to my oat milk. The Foam: I use my little handheld blender to froth the mixture until it's thick and flavorful. The Result: I pour that over my Pero to create a custom Pero Latte every morning. Bottom Line: If you need to move away from caffeine or acidity for health reasons, give this a try. It's a comforting, customizable drink that satisfies that "coffee" craving without the stomach pain. It feels like a gourmet treat!

love this.. cannot have caffeine and this works as a substitute for the coffee that I love. it's not coffee, but it's great if you have to have a replacement.

we stopped coffee due to its harshness on our stomach which was contributing to silent reflux. pero satisfies like coffe with full body and great flavor. wonderful product.

I mix it with hot chocolate to make Mocha, and it's a pretty decent coffee substitute for that. It's got a strong, slightly bitter taste, and it dissolves pretty quickly.

I miss coffee but it burns all the way down and I don't mean the temperature, although that too. It is also a bit bitter. I also have to avoid caffeine. In the past I tried several beverages to replace coffee at night, because as I got older, I had trouble sleeping. I had to quit drinking coffee earlier and earlier in the day, as well as drinking less and less. Eventually I was fine with one in the morning but developed stomach problems. Stop me if you've heard this one. I switched to energy drinks but eventually had to give those up for multiple reasons. So I went back to one of my old timey night beverages. This is a great drink. Much easier on the stomach. No bitter taste. Great with coffee creamer. You can have it any time of day or night. If you still get a little stomach problem with it, just have half as much. I totally recommend this for all ages and for people who had to give up coffee.

I really enjoy drinking Pero. I drink it without sugar or cream, and it has a nice smooth coffee flavor with just the right bitterness. I've tried chicory coffee substitutes and they just don't compare to the great taste of Pero. Honestly, I drink 4 or 5 cups a day. It is a little clumpy when mixing, but worth the effort.

I can't recall if I had already discovered by the time I ordered this that I can't abide the taste of chicory. I can definitely taste it in this. Seemed to dissolve ok. isn't JUST chicory, so YMMV.
