Symingtons Instant Dandelion Coffee 500 g

I read all the previous reviews, and debated whether I was going to risk buying this. I'm not a coffee or tea drinker, and was looking for a nice, warm, healthy drink (something other than herbals!!). The negative reviews were very damning and quite convincing and I almost didn't buy this, not wanting to waste my money. But, fortunately the posative reviews managed to convince me. I am drinking my first cup of dandelion coffee as we speak. I am amazed and delighted at how mild, smooth and delicious it is! I needed no added sugar or honey, since it's already quite sweet, just a bit of milk (I used goats!).I am SOOOooo glad that I didn't listen to the negative reviews. Now remember I am not a coffee drinker, so I'm not able to compare it, but I suspect this is too mild for coffee die-harders. I never tasted the previous version of the dandelion coffee either, but I think it's great that they've made it lactose free. If, like me, you're looking for a hot, non caffine drink with lots of great health benefits, that is creamy and delicious, then this is it. If you're used to the strong stuff, you'll proabably want to look elsewhere (like Caro), but don't be put off by the negative reviews. This coffee, will be a permanent resident on my shelf from now on!!

I have tried several alternatives to Tea and Coffee and this is my favourite, it has a nice flavour with no bitter after taste, if you like strong coffee then proabbaly not for you but for people that prefer a milky coffee like a Latte etc you might like this. I prefer it with soya milk it has a nice creamy taste like a latte, there is no caffine in this drink and one for me that I do not need to take sugar in either which I always did with Tea and Coffee. Overall a great beverage in my opinion, it has its own distinct and pleasant flavour.

I was mistakenly sent a different product (same coffee but different packaging - in a sealable pouch) and since the product was a gift I would have preferred to have gotten the coffee in a box as that was the reason why I opted for it. But oh well... The coffee itself is nice as it is a novelty, but too sweet for my taste. Apparently, it contains some sweeteners (I didn't see any ingredients on the packaging or on the product description on Amazon so I was unpleasantly surprised about the sweetness). In the future I'd recommend adding them so that people who take their coffee black do not get any surprises. I gaveit 4 stars for the novelty factor, as the root tastes nice, but still too sweet. Recommend you add some bourbon, it's a great movie night 'cocktail'.

I struggled to keep coffee out of my hot drink options, I don't want to be loaded up with caffiene, so I tried this. Ignore bad reviews and try it yourself. It tastes sweeter than normal coffee but just use two spoons instead of one and its a perfectly acceptable and agreeable alternative to coffee, which irritates my stomach.

Although it says in the ingredients list on amazon 'Roasted dandelion root' be warned this does contain dextrose and glucose syrup, this for me really affects the taste of the dandelion coffee. It does show in the pictures, but its quite blurry and I didn't see that. I would recommend Cotswolds health dandelion coffee, much nicer and 100% dandelion. It also came in plastic packaging, not a tin which I was quite annoyed about as I try to avoid unrecyclable plastic packaging. As expected I couldn't get a return on this item because I had opened it and tried it to my horror the taste. I feel a good company would admit their wrongs and offer a full refund for the miss sold item.

I love this product and although I am a coffee drinker, I cannot have caffeine later in the evening. This is the perfect evening drink for me. The flavor is unique and all it's own, more chai like than coffee like, because it is made with milk....but, has its own delicate flavor.

although it says coffee - don't expect more than a very mild coffee taste - it has a taste of its own which is much more subtle, but its a very enjoyable hot drink alternative which needs no sweetening and you can also drink it without milk at all. Enjoy!

No taste to speak of. The canister advertises boldly no lactose but a glance at the ingredients reveals this product contains glucose. I bought the item on the basis that it consisted solely of dandelion root powder. I have no idea why glucose is necessary except to give me a heart attack. As someone on a keto (minimal carbohydrate high fat) diet sugar is a big no-no. To find that I had drunk a cup of this stuff made me livid once I discovered it contained added glucose. So subscription cancelled and this goes in the bin. My advice if you're selling health type products the last thing you want to put in there unless you have no sense is sugar and I think that is something any average person could tell you.
