Instant Spelt Coffee with Chicory is a bio coffee substitute made from roasted spelt with chicory. It’s suited to when you want a warm drink with a roasted profile and prefer a caffeine-free option.
Use it in your everyday routine – morning, afternoon, or evening. Thanks to its grain base, it has a fuller body than a regular tea beverage.
Since the blend is caffeine-free, it's appropriate for regimes where caffeine is limited. It is a grain product and contains gluten.

In the kitchen, it serves beyond the cup: in porridges, milk-based drinks, or as a flavour base in recipes. One coffee substitute covers both hot and cold uses.
Suitable for
Pravé Bio recommends what to buy
- Dried Coconut Milk - 76% – for a quick "latte" version in your cup; it creates a creamier texture and a milder taste without lengthy preparation.
- Coconut nectar - handmade – when you want to lightly sweeten; it works as a natural sweetener for drinks, porridge, or baking.
- True Ceylon Cinnamon – a pinch in the cup enhances the flavour of the grain "coffee"; it makes it a more fragrant and "dessert-like" option.
- Ceylon Green Cardamom – for an aromatic caffeine-free variation; it pairs well with chicory to create a chai style drink.
Did you know?
- Spelt is not a "different grain", but an older form of wheat (Triticum spelta) – which is why spelt coffee substitutes are expected to contain gluten.
- Chicory has historically been used in Europe as a coffee alternative, especially during times when coffee was expensive or unavailable – the roasted root can create a dark colour and pronounced roasted aroma without coffee beans.
- The difference between instant and "loose" coffee substitute is in the convenience of preparation: with the instant version, you don't wait for steeping or filtering, making it easy to prepare in a cup or on the go – including with cold liquid.

How does spelt coffee substitute differ from other coffee alternatives?
Spelt coffee substitute is based on roasted spelt complemented by chicory. Unlike coffee, it is caffeine-free, making it suitable when you want a roasted profile but are avoiding caffeine.
The difference is mainly in the flavour profile: spelt forms the roasted grain base, while chicory adds a more pronounced aroma and a slightly bitter finish typical of coffee substitutes. The result is a drink built on roastiness, not coffee beans.
Preparation is also practical: the instant form mixes without a coffee maker and works with water or milk. You can adjust the intensity with the amount of blend and liquid volume – in a cup at home or on the go.

Who is behind PROBIO
The company PROBIO was founded in the 90s by Ing. Martin Hutař and Ing. Karel Matěj, who decided to focus on the production of organic food. The small company has grown into the largest organic food producer in the Czech Republic with more than 120 employees, three organic mills and its own organic farm.
They focus on traditional crops such as spelt and buckwheat and bring them to modern customers in the form of quality organic food, including gluten-free products produced in a certified mill.
The vision of PROBIO is to promote organic farming and protect the planet for future generations. They are bringing traditional crops back into the menu and linking production with education, for example through excursions and annual Biosavings.
Their combination of ecology, quality and tradition makes them a pioneer of organic food in the Czech Republic.
The exceptionality of traditional crops
Since its establishment, the company PROBIO has focused on the processing of traditional crops that were a common part of Czech agriculture in the past. These crops include, for example, spelt, buckwheat, single or double grain.
These ingredients not only enrich the diet, but thanks to their rich nutritional composition they are real "superfoods".
PROBIO brings these forgotten treasures back into our lives and at the same time supports organic farming, which is kind to nature and preserves healthy soil and water for future generations.
Inspiration for customers
PROBIO brings its customers not only a wide range of organic food, but also new options to enrich their daily diet.
Through original mixes such as barley fritters or buckwheat gingerbread, they introduce customers to lesser-known but nutritious foods. These mixtures are prepared to make it easy and quick to prepare tasty dishes.
PROBIO thus becomes an inspiration for everyone who wants to discover new tastes and at the same time support a healthier and more sustainable way of eating.
From spelt to Czech superfoods
Spelled was one of the first crops that PROBIO returned to the Czech fields, and to this day it is a symbol of their efforts to restore traditional agricultural values.
The experience of our ancestors inspired society to further develop and discover crops that were once a common part of the diet - buckwheat, single or double grain.
These crops, now called 'superfoods', are rich in nutrients and bring not only a variety of flavours but also significant health benefits.
Under the brand PROBIO you will find a whole range of these products, either in the form of basic ingredients or easily prepared mixtures. Each product is associated with a love for the land and respect for nature, which gives Czech superfoods a uniqueness you won't find elsewhere.
PROBIO thus brings traditional values into modern cuisine and inspires a return to a natural way of eating.
Organic farming and sustainability

He farms on his own organic farm in Hostěrádky, where crops are grown with respect to the natural balance of ecosystems. PROBIO also supports family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic, from which it takes quality raw materials for the production of its organic food.
The company's certifications confirm its high standards of quality and environmental responsibility. All products carry the organic label and meet strict requirements for organic farming and sustainable production.
In addition, the products from the gluten-free mill are marked with the crossed-out log symbol, which guarantees safety for people with gluten intolerance. The company regularly checks the quality of its products in its own laboratory and ensures that customers receive the best - healthy, clean and environmentally friendly.
PROBIO is thus a symbol of ecological responsibility, which is reflected in every step of their production.
PROBIO - quality organic food
Return of the spelt to the Czech fields
In the 1990s, PROBIO revived the cultivation of spelled, which was almost forgotten at the time.
Thanks to close collaboration with gene banks and our own research, we have been able to reintroduce this cereal and demonstrate its unique properties.
Today, spelt, along with products such as flour and pasta, is the mainstay of their offer.
Support of local farmers
PROBIO actively supports local farmers by purchasing raw materials from family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic. The company works with farmers who grow crops in accordance with the principles of organic farming, which means they avoid the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
This support not only helps the development of sustainable agriculture, but also strengthens the local economy. PROBIO in this way ensures the high quality of its products and at the same time supports Czech farmers who participate in the cultivation of organic food.
This collaboration contributes to the development of organic farms and landscape protection, which is in line with the brand's philosophy of long-term sustainability and nature conservation.
