I have tried the Ghana and Ecuador varieties in French roast and light roast, using a tea infuser, a drip coffee maker with gold filter, and a French press. All of them were delicious; however, the French press was the best, and it's also the easiest to prepare and clean. Before trying it, some of my family members thought it would be hot cocoa with extra steps. It is not. It has a rich cacao flavor unlike anything else.

The Ghana dark roast is my current favorite, though I go back and forth between it, the Ecuador roast, and a mixture of the two. They match the descriptions quite well; this one has a more earthy flavor, while the Ecuador one has a more floral flavor.

The one piece of advice I have for new customers is this: your preference for darker or lighter roasts will not necessarily match your coffee preferences. To me, most dark roast coffee just tastes like ashes. I like light roast coffee. The Crio Bru light roast is good too, but in my opinion, the darker roast richens the flavor tremendously, as well as improving the mouthfeel. I love this stuff.

While I enjoy all the Crio Bru varieties that I've tried over several years of being a customer, this is still my go-to with every order. Love it!

I love this product. It tastes delicious but if you have herpes, as I do, be careful about how much you consume. I replaced my daily cup of coffee and ended up having horrible outbreaks ( due to the arginine present in cocoa). Also, chocolate is bad for indigestion 😉

I don't like coffee at all. So, I was hesitant to even try this. I'm so glad I did, because I'm hooked. Straight was a bit too bitter, but a little sugar took care of it. Now I just need to try the holiday sampler I got. I might even try adding a little vanilla sugar to it.

Crio Bru cacao is amazing! We tried a couple of flavors and Ghana- French roast is our favorite. As soon as we tried it we were hooked. I like to mix it half cacao and half coffee. I call it coaffee.
