It pays to review or reread before sending! I don't know how "ours from our church's SDA campmeeting" on the last blog went through as "our our". I guess my thoughts ran off and left my typing behind. LOL!

I tried to find Postum a few years ago and discovered some being sold on eBay for about $45 US dollars a jar. I have 2 jars and my daughter-in-law has 1. My husband doesn't want to sell them and neither does my daughter-in-law. They'd prefer to use them.

For now we have been using Pero and Roma. My husband prefers Roma (by the Worthington company). It's difficult to find in our location. We usually get it our our church's SDA campmeeting case lots sale.

I thought I'd see if I could find a recipe to make a similar substitute myself. It seems as though I once came across one made from dandelion greens. Wheat bran, cracked wheat, and molasses might be better, but will do some research and experimenting.

According to former Postum Lovers, I have a delicious substitite made out of Wheat Bran, cracked Wheat and molasses.
Currently I make small Batches for Family and Friends but reach out now to see if there's a big enough market out there for me to go in to production.

I don't want something LIKE Postum. I want POSTUM. Any ideas where I could get a case? I was horrified to learn that it indeed has been discontinued. I was just hoping it was not available in our area. I tried Pero but its just not the same.

Just wanted to let you know that Postum starred in its very own comic strip decades ago. Take a look here & no, you don't need to thank me! I drink Inca.

Greetings Postum lovers! I had no idea there were so many like myself who have been deeply affected by the discontinuance of Postum. I too became familiar with Postum as a little child. I am now 62 and was deeply saddened today finding out that Postum has been removed from the store shelves! I've been searching for about two weeks unsuccessfully. Many store clerks have looked at me crazy when I would ask for "Postum". After running a search this morning I find this blog site informing me Postum has been discontinued. Thanks to those of you who have shared the names of other coffee substitutes. It is my prayer that Kraft or someone else puts Postum back on the market!!

Hello,

To all of you who are interested. I have developed a product that tastes delicious. I use 100% cacao beans that are roasted and ground and then brewed. There is no coffee and I have 3 varieties. One is surprisingly like coffee and another tastes a lot like chocolate. It also happens to be healthy. There are more antioxidants per serving than Blueberries. If interested please contact me at eric@drinkchoffy.com or visit the website www.drinkchoffy.com I hope you will all be as happy with it as many other of our former Postum drinkers have.

Lynn,

Thanks for your review of Inka. Don't I wish I had a Whole Foods nearby!

If you can find a suitable replacement for Postum, it would be easier to boost demand for it than to try to revive a defunct product. When Postum went off the shelves, I went shopping for alternatives. Inka is the closest thing I have found. Its taste is equally bland to Postum's and a little half and half or flavored nondairy creamer adds flavor. It dissolves more readily than Postum, as it's a finer powder, and it has fewer calories. It doesn't have the funny taste Roma has. I get mine at the Whole Foods Market.

Hello all you postum lovers. I currently have a product that is definitely worth trying. It is called Choffy and it has many different flavors. I am currently formulating one that will taste similar to postum, as there has been a huge desire for this. It is higher in antioxidants than blueberries and much smoother and less acidic than coffee. If any of you would like more info contact me at

I have been hearing from people that they are looking for Postum. After reading about the benefits of Postum, I think Kraft should reconsider bringing this product back. My dad used it all the time and he was quite healthy when he passed away at age 93. I too support the push to bring back Postum.

2008-03-06T23:18:00.000-05:00

I have been an avid postum drinker for forty years. Imagine my dismay having it no longer be available. However I have just discovered a Polish coffee substitue called INKA. If mde just right it taste very close to Postum only a little bit stronger.
Here is the discription. I hope you enjoy it.

INKA
Naturalis is a rich, flavorful instant grain beverage enjoyed by Polish families for generations. Rye, barley, beets, and chicory root are simply roasted,ground and combined to make Naturalis Inka the perfect substitute for coffee and a great tasting drink in its own right. The toasted beets lend a subtle sweetness that is naturally satisfying. There are no chemical processes, additives, preservatives and added sugars used in making this flavorful and relaxing natural beverage.

I live overseas and every time I came back to the US to visit, I would pick up a few jars of Postum (and put the powder in ziploc bags so it won't weigh so much). I also tried other substitutes, and none of them have the nice rich feeling Postum gives you - not coffee but just as good. I also hope that some small company will take the initiative, and start manufacturing Postum.

I thank for the information that Kraft has taken it off the market. I too started drinking it because of bad reflux disease and cancer. I have been looking high and low for it.

My mother gave me Postum when I was little and wanted to drink coffee with the "grown-ups," and she wouldn't allow it as coffee would "stunt my growth." I have always liked the taste of it, especially with a little cream and sugar. What a treat! I started drinking it regularly again when I developed reflux. I can't believe Kraft took it off the market (without any warning, too). I have tried other coffee substitutes like Teecino and other barley and chicory drinks, but have been unable to acquire a taste for them. I hope there is enough of an uproar from us Postum fans that Kraft brings it back.

I've been drinking Postum for 9 years because I gave up caffene when I was diagnosed with cancer. Now they have taken it off of the market!! Does anyone know of a good subsitute for Postum.
