I initially purchased Crio Bru Ecuador French Roast through Amazon and it was a game changer. I have enjoyed it in a variety of ways, iced, black, sweetened with monk fruit, etc., and now I’ve shifting to coming straight to Crio Bru for this product. As a die hard coffee drinker I was skeptical but after the first brew I found a wonderful alternative to fill my morning mug.

This is my perfect brew:

2 scoops of nibs

1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream

10 ounces of boiling water

1/8 teaspoon of salt

A dash of ground cinnamon

I brew the nibs in a French press for a good ten minutes or longer yielding a strong cacao flavor then add the cream, salt, and cinnamon. The result is the most decadent adulting hot chocolate you have ever had the pleasure of sipping. It fits beautifully within my Keto lifestyle and adds the chocolate I’ve missed for so long. Truth be told, my picky 9 year old and meat and potatoes husband also enjoy it which was rather surprising.

I can not recommend this enough. Seriously, it’s that good.

I like my coffee iced and was worried that I wouldn't be able to do that with crio bru, but you can!!

It taste amazing!! So much better than coffee!! Glad I made the switch!

I was trying to use my Chemex at first and was unimpressed. Then I tried the french press...wow. Like drinking a hot cup of pure chocolate! 1:15-18 for 10 minutes

I like stronger coffee and bought this French roast thinking it would be comparable.

First off, it is like brown water, when prepared as instructed and I even put my Krups brewer on strong setting.

Second, the basket almost overflowed in my coffee maker as this does not allow water to pass through as my Lavazza coffee does.

Threw, the taste is quite bland and I had to add vanilla creamer to give any flavor.

Will not be buying this product again.

Great idea, but not the best results.

I am a single person & get the 5# bag of Crio Bru. I store it in a cool dark cupboard in tightly sealed containers. It's always fresh & lasts for several months. I've never had a problem with it going flat or stale. Love it with thick coconut cream.
