1. Delicious!

   Posted by Unknown

   A friend introduced us to Mayanut "coffee" a few weeks ago and we love it! The taste is very similar to coffee, which we have to cut back on for health reasons.*

2. Very Good, but not great.

   Posted by Unknown

   I have had the Capomo several times now. It took a few times to nail down my preferred dose and brew time. I like strong black coffee (quality) so I figured I'd start with the top end 5 tsp...mistake! It was like getting punched in the face! I now do 2 rounded tsp per 16 oz. It tastes like smoky coffee. If you don't like smoke flavor you will probably not like this. I had it with chocolate oat milk this morning and it was delicious!*

3. Who needs coffee? Capomo is perfect.

   Posted by Ellen

   Capomo brews just like coffee in my French press and I enjoy it every morning. No more caffeine jitters, just good dark flavor. You'll need to adjust the amount since you won't need as much capomo. *

4. AWESOME

   I wish I could buy this in a 5lb bag because me and my wife love it over coffee! *

5. a unique, acquired taste...

   Posted by Laura D

   As an herbalist I have a very eclectic and tolerant palate. I like trying new things, and have tried many so-called coffee 'substitutes/alternatives". In and of themselves they may have some good qualities, flavor, and even health merits, but none really cut it as a bonafide substitute.
   I'm a whole bean (fair trade, preferably organic, dark-but-not-burnt roast), grind-it-daily, prep-per-cup, filter drip coffee aficionada. No sweeteners. A little hemp mylk, or grass fed, presumably happy cow, half n' half.
   That said, Capomo may actually be something that could possibly stand in for the second or third cup of coffee for the day for some folks-- just not for the first...
   So far I've tried the dark roast version, and it is certainly hearty-- and, like coffee, has a bitter quality-- in fact a much more bitter taste when brewed in the recommended fave method (on the label). Bitter does not scare me off, though I can't imagine the masses loving this flavor profile without having to add beaucoup sweetening. I did try it with a little raw honey and that made it tolerable and tastier. Stevia is also an option.
   The other thing: price wise: at full retail $20 for 11 oz? This becomes a rather overpriced "specialty item"-- and as such cannot compete with a $10 pound (16oz) of fair trade beans roasted to perfection... But it is, after all, a very special herb that requires a tremendous amount of work and specialized attention to produce and find its way to our homes. I hope the people who gather and prepare this product are paid handsomely. They deserve the lion's share...
   Ultimately, Capomo stands on its own, with its own qualities, and should definitely be enjoyed as such. It's not 'coffee' but it is intriguingly unique.
   I will be experimenting with prep methods since I have the 2 packs.
   Looking forward, in fact.*

6. best coffee alternative out there!

   Posted by Unknown

   Saw a post from a devotee friend on fb raving about the authentic coffee taste of Capomo so I decided to try it. This is my third bag already and will continue to buy it. I had been drinking Chicory as a coffee alternative since quitting caffeine over a year ago now, but Tattava’s Capomo is much much better. Best coffee alternative out there in my opinion! *

7. Still to new to tell

   Posted by SMCC

   Capomo as a caffeine free coffee alternative has promise. I do appreciate a cup of something strong in the morning. Still working with capomo to find the strength that tastes best.*

8. tasty coffee alternative

   Posted by Karen

   We wanted to cut out caffeine, but didn’t want decaf coffee and herbal tea just doesn’t provide the same satisfaction in the morning. A coffee alternative made from Maya nuts was recommended to us, and I found Capomo at Tattva’s!! So glad. It’s not exactly the same as coffee, but very close. We actually prefer it over coffee now! We make it in our drip coffee maker. We just had to experiment with the amount of Capomo and the amount of water, but it didn’t take long to find our balance!! We now enjoy a healthier hot beverage, which we can drink anytime of the day.*

9. excellent substitute for regular caffeinated coffee

   Posted by Laureen L Becker

   Has a very similar taste to coffee and smell. I use coconut milk and stevia sweetener which is similar to my previous latte. For me it took some time to adjust but I have. Rately have I found any "substitute" for anything with complete satisfaction, but this is pretty good. Important to gradually decrease caffeinated beverages before switch over. Those headaches aren't fun.*

10. Great drink to use for kicking the coffee habit

    Posted by Lee

    To avoid the headaches I get when eliminating (acidic) coffee, I'm drinking a mix of half coffee and half CAPOMO. I plan to drink this for two weeks, then continue to reduce the amount of coffee until I'm finally "done" with the coffee. Thankfully the CAPOMO tastes very good, and can be prepared exactly the same way as a cup of coffee including the addition of cream and a little sugar.*
