What's your opinion about adding chicory to coffee? I know there's a few places, like Café du Monde in New Orleans that offers coffee with chicory. It's also sold as a mix in grocery stores in France.

I started trying it recently by adding a small teaspoon to my coffee in my French press and it gives a really smooth brew.

What do you think? Are you a purist? Have you tried it? What's your opinion?

Not a good substitute, but an okay addition. Makes boring coffees taste better. I drink mostly decaf, and sometimes it is difficult to find reliably good decaf for normal pricing, and if I'm using Starbucks or Tim Hortons decaf, it helps the flavor.
