Do not fear the French Roast
Maybe it's just me, but I was hesitant to buy the French Roast variety. This is because I hate French Roast coffee; to me, most French Roast coffee just tastes like ashes. If you hate French Roast coffee, you might still love French Roast Crio Bru.
The first variety I tried was the Ecuador Light Roast, and it was delicious. I was afraid to try the French Roast. But I did try the French Roast, and it is even better. (I tried both the Ghana and the Ecuador. Both are amazing. The difference in flavor is as described; the Ghana variety is more "earthy" and the Ecuador is more "floral". A blend of the two would be nice.)
I haven't tried all the brewing methods, but between a pour over coffee maker and a traditional electric drip coffee maker with a warmer plate, I prefer the latter (though I prefer the former for coffee). This is because the brew time is slower, and without a warmer plate, the beverage can cool considerably during brewing.
(One warning: There can be too much of a good thing. If Crio Bru is brewed too strong, the bitterness and acidity can overpower the flavor. But when brewed to the correct strength, it is very flavorful without much bitterness or acidic flavor.)
