Even though Postum no longer exists (and people still crave it and will pay top dollar on eBay for it), coffee and camel piss (I mean "Monster Energy Drink") still do. Here's a quick list of some of the concoctions you can replace any or all of these with. The list is obviously not all-inclusive and there's no way in the world I'm going to spend the time it would take to search Google to find any more. While these concoctions probably won't replace coffee and Postum, anything is better than camel piss, made by the people attacking the makers of Vermonster.
- Caro Instant Beverage, more commonly referred to as simply Caro, is brand of caffeine-free beverages. It is manufactured by Nestlé and is widely available in the United Kingdom. Caro Instant is a powder-based drink available in 50g containers, whereas Caro Extra is granule-based and comes in 200g jars. Caro is made up of soluble solids of roasted barley, malted barley, chicory, and rye. It is most often available in health food shops, but can also be found in most major supermarkets.
- Barleycup is another instant cereal drink available in the United Kingdom. It comes in both powder and granule form, and is comprised of soluble solids of roasted barley, rye and chicory. It is commonly found in health food shops.
- Pero is a coffee substitute from Switzerland. Pero Instant Natural contains malted barley, barley, chicory and rye. Pero Extra contains all of the same except the rye.
- Cafix is another coffee substitute from Switzerland. Cafix Coffee Substitute contains malted barley, chicory, barley, rye and beet roots. Cafix Crystals contains roasted barley, rye, chicory and beet roots.
- Teeccino in the United States produces an herbal "coffee" in 10 different flavors. Various ingredients are used, such as chicory and ramon nuts.
- Roma, or Kaffree Roma, is available in U.S. health food stores. Ingredients: Roasted barley, roasted malt barley, roasted chicory. Contains gluten from barley.
- Wildcrafted Ramon Nut Powder is a product of rawganique.com.
- Bamboo is a coffee alternative marketed by Rapunzel in Germany which contain grains and chicory.
- Soyfee is a soy "coffee" product of soycoffee.com. The website may contain more information about ingredients that I couldn't find.
- Café de Cebada is a product of boliviamall.com. I don't read the language, so I can't tell what ingredients are included.
The people that have tried these products say they taste nothing like coffee and Postum-lovers say they don't match the rich, smooth taste of Postum. By the way, this is another post I moved from another site. I didn't move the five comments, though, because I didn't think it would be worth the trouble.

I find that tea gives me energy enough. No need for coffee and definitely no need for energy drinks. I only drink coffee whenever I crave the taste, and it's usually my regular Caramel Frapp from Starbucks. I never liked energy drinks. I always thought they tasted like cough syrup medicine. Tea is good for me!
The title to this blog made me laugh so hard. I love coffee and tea but would totally agree on energy drinks as being camel piss. You did a great job on a catchy title and I enjoyed reading your blogs too.
I use to drink a lot energy drinks and actually have quite a collection of cans. I could stand the taste of most of them, except Red Bull. However, they really did a number on my stomach and throat. I no longer drink them. Red Bull is the only one I would equate to Camel Piss, but I've never actually had CP so I'm just guessing. :O)
I do enjoy coffee from our Keurig and drink a lot of regular black tea throughout the day.
