Camp Chicory and Coffee 241g

If you go to Scotland or England, you may have trouble finding Camp. I finally found some at a grocery in Rye, England. I was very pleased to find it at Amazon. I used to drink Postum, until they discontinued making it. Because the Mormons were big fans of Postum, some got the rights to the formula and name, and started producing it. I bought some. It did not dissolve as well as the original, but was still pretty good. I was familiar with Camp, and decided to get some when in England. Since it is liquid, it dissolves easily. The directions say to put it in warm milk, which you can. But, I just mix it with hot water and half and half. It tastes almost identical to Postum. I thought they had sent me smaller bottles than what I had been getting. They are no longer glass, but plastic. And indeed, they are still 241 ml. I don't care for decaf coffee, so Camp is what I drink in the evening.

One hot and sunny afternoon in South Florida my Scottish husband began reminiscing about something he called “can coffee” that he drank as a child. It sounded amazing! Turns out his accent was heavy that day, it was Camp Coffee of which he spoke! I said, I’ll bet Amazon has it- and a few clicks later a bottle was on the way. Now, my husband claims people either love it or hate it. But a few spoonfuls in a mug of either hot or cold milk are so deliciously wonderful, I can’t imagine anyone not liking this as much as I do, and our daughter agrees. Now I want to know what other Scottish delights he’s been keeping secret all these years. 😉 Try it—I know you’ll like it too!

Camp Chicory and Coffee Essence will add great coffee flavor to your baked goods. I think it takes pretty decent by itself with milk, but it really shines in baked goods. I've used instant espresso dissolved in water for coffee flavor, and essence can also have a somewhat artificial flavor; this however, doesn't taste artificial and adds a coffee flavor that is noticeable, but not overpowering.

I read the British troops used to drink this in WWII so when I saw it for sale, just had to get some. It’s delightful, perks you up, and so easy to spoon into your cup at work. No muss, no fuss👍

A bit disappointed that it wasn’t as good as I remember 40 years ago. It is good but I must have changed

Awesome

The quality is great as well as the taste. I use this when making coffee flavor sponge cakes.The flavor is not over powering, just right.

Are you kidding me? A great product but the price has doubled in a year .....?
