Tastes like real coffee! Love it! And healthy, how wonderful! August 4, 2009

I'm very picky when it comes to substituting coffee. You see, I love coffee so if it doesn't taste like coffee then I don't want it. I've tried about 4 other alternatives and didn't like any of them so I went back to real coffee, but when I tried Dandy Blend I fell in love instantly. I couldn't believe how much it tastes like the real thing! It's like drinking real coffee and the best part is that it's really healthy so I don't feel guilty of making myself more than one cup. Also with Dandy Blend you can actually fool people when you offer them coffee cuz they won't be able to tell the difference. They won't know unless you tell them. I know cuz I've done it. Then when they find out, they are shocked. My aunt doesn't drink coffee but likes alternatives. I had to repeat to her and insist many times that this wasn't real coffee. She now drinks it but I'm still not so sure she believes me.
Why I chose Dandy Blend.....like I had said earlier, I love coffee for it's wonderful taste and smell. I grew up with coffee. Being Guatemalan I was born a coffee lover. My culture drinks coffee since we are babies poured into the bottle. No joke! My family has its morning coffee then around 4 pm we need it again with some pan dulce or sweet bread especially fresh from the bakery. The concern...I'm studying Natural Health and have learned about coffee not being so healthy and it's best to avoid it. It does much harm to the body in different ways and can destroy the vitamins and nutrients it tries to intake from food.
Also, as a Seventh-Day Adventist, health and nutrition are very important. We strive to keep our bodies healthy eliminating anything that can do us harm. We encourage vegetarianism for the simple fact that it was the original diet God intended for us when he created Adam and Eve. We, Seventh-Day Adventists must be an example to others and I wasn't doing that with my coffee drinking. Coffee is a stimulant so it is a beverage we try to avoid. Caffeine is harmful to our health. So when I found out there were alternatives out there, I was excited but that excitement faded away when I tried these other alternatives. I didn't like them. They were either tasteless or didn't taste like coffee, but Dandy Blend was different. I had to read the ingredients many times to make sure it didn't contain coffee because I really thought I was drinking the real thing.
This is my first long review. I know reviews are really helpful to me so I wanted to share my experience with you, too. I really like Dandy Blend a lot and am about to purchase some more. I'll also be honest to tell you that I don't like Pero or Roma, other alternative coffees, because they're tasteless to me (in case you were debating between the three). I haven't tried Teeccino yet which has fruits and nuts and other things in it. Sounds good tho. Hope this helps! God bless!
Not for Hard-Core Coffee Drinkers...BUT April 26, 2009

But for those of us that did and are trying to give up caffeine, I find it's a pretty good substitute. Not bitter, seriously. Add cream/milk whatever your 'dairy' preference. Honey or another sweetener works well. I've been adding cream and some powdered cinnamon to it.
I will be ordering more March 29, 2010

This product is good enough for me to drink in the morning in place of coffee. My grandma tasted it and spit it back out (really was not impressed). It doesn't taste exactly like coffee but really close. I just wanted something hot in the morning and Tea doesn't totally cut it for me. But this drink reminds me so much of coffee that I haven't even missed the real stuff (I should say I usually always drank decaf so I don't miss the caffeine). I still need to research if there are health benefits to this dandelion drink (I had heard that even decaf coffee was bad for you -acids or something?). I am excited to have found this product.
I love this stuff! June 5, 2010

I always buy two or three 2-lb packages at a time.
I like strong flavour, so I use a heaping tablespoon for a hot drink, plus cream.
For a summer iced drink, I use three heaping tablespoons of DB, and a heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder, plus cream, a bit of sweetener, and ice cubes. It is so good!
I still enjoy a good coffee when I can get it, but I definitely enjoy Dandy Blend!
Love It June 9, 2010
J. Fugate (Des Moines, IA)
Love this stuff. It tastes similar to coffee, but really not bitter or acidic. I can drink it all day long. I keep one at work and one at home. Even my friends that I had try it liked it. It really is good. If you are a coffee snob, this is not for you. If you are looking for a SUBSTITUTE for coffee, this is really good.
