Received this set up kit as a gift and absolutely love it. I did a steady stir throughout the 10 minute brewing time and the flavour released beautifully. The aroma is amazing. I add cream which served well for a sweetener. One time I made it for my guests and added a little Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur). Delicious. It’s more like a fine alternative to coffee than a hot chocolate.

No matter how much I brew, even doubling the grounds, the drink is really watery.

Have only tried one flavor yet. Brewed it a few times and tried to tweak it with either more grounds or adding cream. Neither is satisfying. It tastes like a weak, tasteless cocoa. Actually tastes like nothing. I am going to try adding chocolate protein powder and cream. If that doesn’t work, may just have to return the package

Excellent starter kit. Love my new pot and all of the goodies that came with it.

I recommend highly.

I didn’t receive the French Press, just got the bags of brew! Was disappointed!
