I am over the moon! I developed an allergy to coffee and I'm always searching for alternatives. This ground, roasted chocolate brews up like coffee! It's got that rich, bitter taste I remember. It's not sweet by itself, but mixes perfectly with creamer. For the first time in 13 years, I had a hot mug of a drink that has the soothing, ritual feeling of coffee! I'm sipping my mug with tears in my eyes!
