Coffee substitute

That’s where coffee alternatives come in

We all know the role coffee plays. It’s the drink that gets us through the morning, and it’s the perfect pick-me-up when we need it. But sometimes we need a break from coffee. Perhaps we’re trying to cut down on our caffeine intake, or we’re simply looking for a change.
Some people drink coffee purely for its effects, but don’t particularly like the taste. Others, on the other hand, love the taste but can’t tolerate the effects of coffee. In both cases, a coffee substitute is recommended. You can choose whether you simply want a pick-me-up or just don’t want to miss out on the taste of coffee.

These alternatives are available

You’ll find the right coffee substitute here. For anyone who needs a pick-me-up in the morning, guarana is recommended. Guarana is a powerful source of caffeine and is guaranteed to give you that morning boost.
Guarana is a plant native to Brazil that has a high caffeine content. Guarana seeds actually contain more caffeine than coffee beans. This means that guarana is one of the strongest sources of caffeine available. Whilst coffee gives you an initial energy boost, this is often followed by a crash a few hours later. Guarana, on the other hand, provides a sustained energy boost throughout the day.

Anyone who isn’t particularly keen on caffeine or doesn’t tolerate it well is likely to be looking for a coffee alternative for this very reason, so they don’t have to miss out on the flavour. This is where lupin coffee comes in.
Lupin coffee has a nutty, creamy flavour similar to that of conventional coffee. However, it is also slightly sweeter and has no bitterness. Lupin coffee also has a lower acidity than conventional coffee, making it gentler on the stomach. In terms of flavour, it is the ideal coffee substitute.

How it’s made

Coffee substitutes are a great way to cut out coffee without sacrificing its benefits. For example, we stock guarana powder and lupin coffee.

Guarana is a shrub native to the Amazon rainforest. The guarana plant is known for its large seeds, which are about the same size as a coffee bean. These seeds contain a high proportion of caffeine, which is why guarana is often used as a natural energy booster. Guarana is usually extracted from the plant’s seeds. To do this, the seeds are either ground into a powder or the caffeine is extracted using a solvent. The extracted caffeine is then often used in energy drinks or dietary supplements.

Lupin coffee is made from lupin beans, a legume native to the Mediterranean region. Lupin beans are rich in protein and fibre and are gluten-free.

How healthy is coffee itself?

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed drinks in the world, and many of us rely on it to get through the day. But how healthy is coffee really? There are conflicting reports on the health effects of coffee. Some studies suggest that coffee may have positive health effects, whilst others link coffee consumption to an increased risk of certain diseases. Here, too, the saying ‘the dose makes the poison’ applies. Coffee may have health benefits, but consuming too much of it can lead to negative effects. If you don’t want to drink coffee yourself, you can opt for coffee substitutes.
