Postum Instant Coffee Substitute Original — 3x8 oz Pack, Caffeine-Free Roasted Wheat & Molasses Blend

Postum Original is a caffeine-free instant beverage made from roasted wheat bran and molasses that recreates a warm, roasted coffee-like experience without caffeine.

Postum has been enjoyed for generations as an alternative to brewed coffee. This 3 x 8 oz pack contains the classic Postum Original powdered drink mix: a blend of roasted wheat and molasses that dissolves quickly in hot water or milk to deliver a rich, nutty flavor. It’s designed for people who want the ritual and taste of a hot, dark beverage but prefer to skip caffeine and many of coffee’s bitterness and acidity.

What flavor and mouthfeel should I expect from Postum?

Postum delivers a roasted, toasty profile with mild sweetness from molasses and a smooth, grainy mid-palate. It won’t taste identical to brewed coffee, but it provides a satisfying, dark beverage experience that complements milk and sweeteners well.

• Roasted wheat provides nutty, toasted notes.
• Molasses adds a subtle caramel-like sweetness.
• Low bitterness and no tannic acid present.
• Mixes creamy with milk or froths for latte-like texture.

How do I prepare a cup of Postum for best results?

Preparing Postum is quick: stir 1–2 teaspoons into a small amount of hot water or hot milk to form a paste, then add the rest of the liquid and whisk or froth until smooth. Adjust the amount to taste for a milder or stronger cup.

• Start with 1 teaspoon per 8 oz for a light cup; 2 teaspoons for a stronger taste.
• Create a paste first to avoid clumping, then add remaining hot liquid.
• Add milk, plant milk, or a splash of vanilla for creamier flavor.
• Use a milk frother or whisk for a smoother, latte-like finish.
