7 Reasons Coffee Lovers Are Mixing Chocolate Into Their Morning Cup
Crio BruSummary: Crio Bru is 100% pure ground cacao, brewed just like coffee, with the aroma and flavor of dark chocolate. Here's why coffee lovers are adding it to their morning cup, not replacing their coffee with it.
1. You Don't Have to Give Up Your Coffee
Jacob T. mixes it half cacao and half coffee, and even gave it a name: "coaffee." Add Crio Bru grounds to your coffee grounds before brewing, in whatever ratio you like. Your coffee stays. It just picks up some dark chocolate.

Jane S. found that "brewing a bit in with my coffee in my Moka Pot and adding some steamed milk and sugar is better than anything I have ever bought in a coffee shop, hands down." No drive-through. No line.
Make your next cup a mocha →3. It Brews in What You Already Own
French press, coffee maker or Moka pot. Crio Bru brews just like coffee, so your setup already works. Jeffrey C. brews the two together: "I mix Crio Bru Ecuador French Roast and my French Roast coffee in a strong brew."
Brew it in what you already have →4. A Simple Way to Have a Little Less Caffeine Per Mug
Crio Bru has 10 mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup, similar to a cup of decaf coffee. Mix it half and half and your mug holds half the coffee. Catherine mixes it with decaf: "I love the flavor and that I have been able to reduce my caffeine intake."
Try the half-and-half cup →5. Your Creamer and Flavors Still Work
Finish your cup the way you always do. Al P. brewed it with Gevalia House Blend, added French Vanilla creamer and wrote: "this was fantastic!" Christy M. mixes it with a shot of espresso to make a "caramel mocha."

A few questions, answered
Does it taste like hot chocolate?
No. Crio Bru is unsweetened brewed cacao, so it tastes like dark chocolate, not a sweet cocoa mix. Add your usual creamer or sweetener, just like you would with coffee.
How do I get a rich cup?
Our tip: double the amount of grounds, be sure and use boiling water, and steep for 15-20 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Can I really mix it with my regular coffee?
Yes. You can also mix our grounds with your coffee grounds before brewing and make a delicious mocha. Use whatever ratio you like.
What comes in the starter set?
A 10 oz bag of Double Chocolate Light Roast, a French press and a brewing guide, plus two free 4 oz bags: Ghana French Roast and Ghana Light Roast.
It's not coffee. It's cacao. But it plays very well with coffee.
