Overview
A 15-ounce ground blend of coffee and chicory from Cafe Du Monde, the New Orleans French Market coffee stand that has operated since the early 1860s. It is the packaged version of the coffee served at that landmark cafe.
The chicory addition is the defining trait here, giving this a New Orleans-style cup rather than a straight coffee. It is worth knowing going in that this is a coffee-and-chicory blend, not 100 percent coffee, since that changes both flavor and caffeine content per cup.
- 15 oz ground coffee and chicory blend
- New Orleans French Market Coffee Stand recipe
- Traditional base for cafe au lait
- In continuous production since the 1860s
Who it's for
Good for anyone wanting to recreate a New Orleans cafe au lait at home or who already likes chicory coffee. Drinkers who want straight, chicory-free coffee should pick a different product.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Authentic New Orleans coffee and chicory blend
- Long-running, well-known product line
- Works in a standard drip brewer
- Chicory flavor will not suit drinkers who want plain coffee
- Smaller 15 oz size than some canister competitors
Performance notes
Traditionally this style is brewed strong and served with hot milk as cafe au lait, though it can be used in a standard drip machine like any ground coffee. The chicory root blended into the grounds is what gives the brewed cup its characteristic New Orleans profile rather than the coffee alone.
