I am a chocolate lover, and I find the taste of the beverage quite good. However, I'm not finding it strong enough for my liking. I have only brewed it twice so far. First time, I brewed it in my coffee pot. Even though I purchased dark roast (French) it was too weak. So I ran the coffee through the grounds again which helped. Yet when it was still too weak, I put the brew and the grounds in a pot and simmered it a few minutes. It was very good. My second brew I did in a pot. I made sure the grounds were fully wet and let it sit 5 minutes. I then heated it and allowed the pot to simmer 10 minutes. Then I shut off the pot and let it sit another 5 minutes before straining it. This came out to my satisfaction, though I would still like it stronger. I have to say, as I've seen in other reviews, it's a bit pricey. I would drink this every day if it were more affordable. Overall... I like the product. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the process of brewing. Thank you.
