French Chicory, Imported: Roasted and Cut

Sweet Maria's Coffee

You can't make New Orleans Style coffee without French Chicory, and you can't make good New Orleans coffee unless you use a FRESH roast of good coffee roasted to the French stage, and good imported French Chicory. That Cafe DuMonde coffee-chicory stuff from the can is atrocious! This the real deal. Chicory is a root, related to the radish,difficult to roast because of odd shape. What you do is take a French roast and combine 2/3 ground coffee with 1/3 chicory. Brew any way to like...an automatic drip is fine, but I like it in a French Press best. at do you get? Incredibly strong pungent coffee with enough body to stand a fork up in the cup. Serve with cream or drink it straight if you want more hair on your chest! As a side note: technically the Chicory is cut, not ground. It's is also roasted much differently than coffee because of its unusual root shape: it is roasted on a conveyor-type roaster much as peanuts are often roasted in these times...
