Pero Instant Original Natural Beverage 7 oz

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 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.

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!

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.

Best caffeine free coffee alternative you'll get before we get into chemicals and supplements. The most natural replacement and best tasting replacement for decaf you'll find. Try adding cream and vanilla syrup, it's just as good as Starbucks (let's be real, did you expect caffeine free coffee to taste gourmet?) don't spill this, the mess is very very hard to clean

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 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.
