Caro is a brand of caffeine-free roasted grain drinks. It is generally considered a coffee substitute. It is manufactured by Nestlé and was first introduced in West Germany in 1954. It is available throughout Europe as well as other markets including New Zealand and Australia. It is imported to the United States under the name Pero. The name "Caro" references the German word "Karo", a colloquial term for a rhombus, as seen in the Caro logo (which is also used on Pero). Historically the concept of the drink as an alternative to coffee dates back to the 19th century, when regular coffee was heavily taxed in Germany.
Caro Instant is a powdered drink available in 50-gram (1.8 oz) containers, whereas Caro Extra is granulated and comes in 200-gram (7.1 oz) jars.
