There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I percolate it in my electric percolator instead of a french press where it has to sit for so long, (according to the instructions), it's barely lukewarm when ready to serve. Percolator uses less product and it's piping hot when ready, and keeps it hot for a second cup!
First of all, if you are familiar with the flavor of raw cacao, then you may appreciate this product. Don't expect a hot chocolate type of drink from this. It's really more like a cacao tea.
Upon opening the package, I was surprised by how coarse it was. I guess I was expecting more of a coffee grounds consistency...
It was a little disappointed with how watery it tasted just running it through my gold filter in my Keurig (following directions and brewing it like coffee). I think it would benefit from a finer grind.
I quickly came up with the brilliant idea of treating it like my cold brew. I soaked the Creo overnight and strained it in the morning, then added that to my coffee and it was delightful! That is the way I will be using it from now on. I don't think I will be drinking it by itself but I will still experiment.
Then I started to wonder if it would be cheaper just to buy the nibs and run them through the coffee grinder.
Regardless, cacao is so good for you, so many antioxidants! I would totally recommend this product.
There are several roasts of Crio Bru and we like this one a lot. We have tried many and this is one of our favorites. It is not as bitter as some of the other roasts such as the Nicaragua med roast. That one has a very bitter, rooted flavor and smell to it. We prefer this one, along with a few others. When it is being brewed it files the room with a nice chocolaty smell. We use a coffee press to brew it, but just recently started to try putting the grounds in tea bags for less mess. (my husband drives truck and he didn't want the mess of the wet grounds to have to clean up in the truck)
I highly recommend this product. We had no problems with shipping or the seller.

I've purchased a few small bags before this one but they seem to go empty too quick. Spending $100 on a bag of roasted cocoa seemed like an awful lot.
Compared to the small bags, the price for the large bag is much cheaper though, but it is a big chunk of money to spend at once. But it also lasts much longer, and compared to a box of kcups at Costco, I think I spend much less per month in the end.
I bought this bag on June 1st, and now we're almost in October and I'm still only near the halfway mark (I drink 2 scoops every day).
I'm not a fan of straight coffee but also don't want to drink a doctored version with too much sugar or syrup to make it palatable every day. This was perfect for me because it tastes chocolatey and is only filled with good things and 0 calories. I like the stronger flavor of this roast compared to the lighter roasts which weren't chocolatey enough for me.
Because we no longer have a normal coffee maker, I put my grounds into an empty tea bag (purchased separately) and let it steep in hot water in my mug for a while. It takes longer to get strong enough compared to actual brewing but this works well enough for me. Its strong enough just before my drink goes cold. And if I forget about it, it tastes fine after warming up in the microwave. I really am glad someone decided to roast cocoa beans instead of coffee beans
Too expensive in my opinion though.
Many thanks!
