Do your research, this is not a sugary hot chocolate drink. But , oh, so much better! This is an excellent alternate for coffee or hot tea. Smooth, rich tasting, very low caffeine, low calorie (unless you add creamer and sugar)....an absolute delight to drink! The smell while it is brewing is divine. Slowly working my way through the variety pack I ordered and can't decide yet which is my favorite! Absolutely in love with this product!
Saw the ads on Facebook so decided to explore the website and, after reading all the reviews, thought I would give this a try. I am SO happy I did! Absolutely love this and have been greatly enjoying this sampler kit which allows me to try all the different offerings. Will be ordering more of this and giving it as gifts!! :-) Cacao is NOT the sugar-laden hot chocolate mixes which some reviewers seem to think it is. Instead, cacao is like eating a piece of REALLY dark chocolate, but in liquid form. It has the dark, rich "bite" to it just like dark chocolate, so I encourage people to think about that when considering this--if you are looking for sweet hot chocolate this isn't for you. But if you like dark chocolate, give this a try. And definitely be sure to follow their brewing instructions--it makes all the difference in achieving a perfect cup of cacao. Thanks Crio Bru--I can't wait to try the more limited edition flavors! :-)
My friend bought this for me as a gift...I hadn’t head of it. She got me the sampler pack and I bought a bigger bag of my favorite.
What a treat this sampler pack was! I love that I was able to get everything I needed to get started in one pack. I have IBS, and coffee just does not agree with my gut, despite how much I enjoy the taste. CrioBru is lovely, because it still feels like I am brewing and drinking coffee, but without the nasty gut side effects. I was incredibly impressed with how FULL the little bags are! I was able to get about 16 tbsp out of each bag; enough to brew two 32oz French press pots. While I tend to prefer a lighter roast in coffee, I found I love the French roast CrioBru! I also like adding a little sweetened almond milk creamer for taste. I will definitely be reordering!
I bought this sampler pack out of curiosity and, because I want to get away from my rather hefty coffee habit. I am happy to report that I found this to be better than expected. But I did not anticipate that my husband would become a cacao fiend, and want me to make a pot twice a day or more! You have created a monster, a very happy monster at that! Our favorite so far is the Nicaragua. We can’t wait to try the double chocolate. I can’t even imagine how good it will be. I also bought the holiday flavors. Those will be fun over the colder months. So for the record, I am very happy with this sampler pack. It’s great to try all the flavors and then, pick our favorites next time I order. Customer Service gets a high-five as well. I highly recommend Crio Brew. You will not be disappointed.
