Yes, I tried Teeccino. Hubby and I both HATED it. However, I sent the remainder of the stuff to Heather so she could try it, and she and Will both loved it. Also, Kree loves it too. So obviously I'm out-numbered.
However, it really boils down to personal preference. If you really crave the TRUE taste of coffee, then you will be disappointed with Teeccino. I had a 42-year addiction to strong black coffee -- no flavored stuff for me! -- and Teeccino most definitely did not come close.
However, I did discover SoyFee! OMG! This stuff tastes EXACTLY like coffee -- EXACTLY. SoyFee is made by Soy Coffee Roasters in New York City, and they offer many flavors: Original Roast, Dark Roast, House Blend, Almond Amaretto, Mocha, Hazelnut, French Vanilla, and Chai. I've tried the Original Roast, Dark Roast, and Mocha. So far, my fave is Original Roast -- but I have an order coming for the French Vanilla, Chai and House Blend. I have a feeling House Blend might be my new fave.
One gal on the Boards here liked the French Vanilla best, while another gal preferred Dark Roast. It's just personal preference.
However, the bottom line is: IT TASTES AND SMELLS JUST LIKE REAL COFFEE! I SOOOOO love this stuff. I drink it all the time. It is totally AMAZING. It AIDS DIGESTION, lowers blood cholesterol levels, promotes gastrointestinal health, prevents bone loss and slows the advancement of osteoporosis, promotes healthy menopause (yaay!), fights heart disease, promotes healthy prostrate, and PREVENTS CANCER, PARTICULARLY COLON, rectal, and breast cancer!
Now tell me, what else could you possibly ask for?

I have one complaint about SoyFee -- only one, but it's a biggie: it's hard to get. I've waited WEEKS for my order to come. I've e-mailed the company, asking where my order is, they don't answer my e-mail, I get frustrated, etc. You can't find it at any HFS. I tried to get my local HFS to carry it, but they have red tape issues. Thankfully, the SoyFee company gave me the name of the closest market to me that carries the stuff -- but it's almost in the next state! Anyway, I called them, and they do carry it (although not the 5-lb. bags, only the 10-ounce size), so that's who I'm ordering it from now. I should get my order in 4 days.
Shipping is expensive; it costs as much as one 10-oz. bag. SO, what I'm going to do is this: once I decide which flavor I like best, I'm going to order two 5-lb. bags. All orders over $100 are free of shipping charges. The bags are vaccuum-sealed, so they'll last in the pantry forever.
Okay, was that too much information, or WHAT?! Sorry. I just love this stuff SOOOO much.
