Say on another site.

Thanks WB. Might have to try this. Have lots of dandelions and chickory growing around here.

Reminds me to keep my eye on the stinging nettle and milkweeds .

Taste? Not bad.  It has a nice, pleasant roasty flavor without the bitterness or sharpness of actual coffee. A bit bland. The next batch, I'll grind the roots and/or use more. Would be nice mixed with chicory root, maybe, but that doesn't grow around here. I put a little honey in mine; the Badgerling added a splash of milk, both with satisfactory results. It isn't coffee, but next time I feel the need for a warming, roasty tasting drink without the caffeine, this might do the trick. And of course, it's extraordinarily affordable.

Adding a bit of chicory(around 1/10th compared to main grind) and some cinnamon(like 3rd a tablespoon) made wonders for me personally. Give it a shot

YosemiteBen:
Very nice!
