Here is my favorite dandelion tea. It has a wonderful flavor and is awesomely healthful. I mix it with my sleepy time tea at night and add honey. I don't drink coffee but I think it kind of has a bit of a coffee flavor to it/ Also, if you check a health food store, you can get it sometimes on sale at much better prices, but one huge bag would last you all year:

The first to visit folks in spring with my pretty yellow,
I can even pollinate myself without the bees!
If you try to mow me down, I will still stay mellow,
and when dried, I fluff myself and fly out on the breeze.
For miles I can travel on my hundred seeds.
That’s how I can take control and cover lots of fields!
Some moisture and some soil will meet most of my needs.
Once I’ve taken root, more and more I give my yields!
For rooted into ground, I tap sun’s energy.
I make some leaves that multiply like rabbits.
Not too easily can you rid your grass of me.
Make wine or tea of me. Adopt some great new habits!
