A cereal coffee (also known as grain coffee, roasted grain drink or roasted grain beverage) is a hot drink made from one or more cereal grains roasted and commercially processed into crystal or powder form to be reconstituted later in hot water. The product is often marketed as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee and tea, or in other cases where those drinks are scarce or expensive.[1]

Several well-known cereal coffee brands are Nestlé Caro, Postum, and Inka. Other brands can be found at health food stores and at some grocery stores. Some common ingredients include toasted barley, malted barley, rye, chicory, molasses, brown rice, chickpeas, sorghum, and beet root.

Use

Asia

Cereal coffee is popular in East Asian cuisines—Korea,[2] Japan, and China each having one or more versions (usually roasted grains simply steeped in hot water).

Grain-like seeds and pseudocereals are used to make similar drinks.

Grain teas can also be blended with green tea or other tea drinks.

Ethiopia

Traditionally known as "Kafir coffee[3]" in Ethiopia, cereal coffee made from roasted sorghum offers a bright, citrusy taste with a subtly astringent finish.

Europe

Some notable Polish brands which specialize in cereal coffee are Inka, Krakus and Anatol.

In Czech Republic, a Kávoviny Melta brand has been roasting grain coffee since 1896.

Such roasted grain mixes are also used as a base to make podpiwek, a type of non-alcoholic beverage.
