Miss Postum? Try Ersatz!
Alas, one of the world's most famous and favorite coffee substitutes is no longer being produced. Try Ersatz and we think you'll be pleasantly surprised by our new and unique alternative.
For centuries, "coffee substitutes" have been concocted, especially when stressful economic conditions and/or wars hindered the international shipping of coffee beans. Typically such substitutes have been developed using a variety of roasted agricultural products such as legumes, grain, and natural plant flavorings, often yielding a beverage with little or unappealing flavor.
Today, our food alchemists at The Coffee Trade Company (our charmingly anachronistic enterprise) in Bellefonte, PA have formulated a perfect coffee alternative through careful and tedious experimentation. The result? A satisfying warm beverage with a rich and delicious roasted grain and nutty flavor.
