Crio BruBrewed Cacao Maya Light Roast - Coffee Alternative Natural Healthy Drink | 100% Pure Ground Cacao Beans Brew And Enjoy Hot or Iced (24 oz)

I buy all the different types.

What is not to like about this product. All the good from chocolate and such bright flavors.

A funny little drink...not as chocolate forward, but addictive! Craveable! Definitely cacao, but with a sprightly blend of vanilla and cinnamon and a chasing tingle of Cayenne. Not heat, just a tingle. I don't get the impression this is Madagascar vanilla or Saigon cinnamon, though. These spices would be nicely represented in a double cacao mix.

Crio Bru is fantastic. Better than coffee for multiple reasons. Energy without the jitters, anti-oxidants, not-bitter, chocolaty, good for you. I look forward to every cup. I especially enjoy the Maya blend from Crio Bru, I have tried other flavors and they are all excellent, but for me the hint of chili with subtle vanilla and cinnamon is a real treat. I usually purchase 21oz of Maya and accompany my order with a 13oz package of another flavor so that I can give them all a try. I have not been disappointed with any flavor. The other flavor blends are a bit more chocolate, which is wonderful, but I prefer a little spice. I make a batch every morning in my French press. Being able to order through Amazon and receive the shipment in no more than 2 days, sometimes same day, is so convenient because I don't have to keep a bunch on hand. I have purchased the 13 oz, 21, and 72 ounce sizes. For me the 21 makes the most sense from a storage standpoint, but there are a few penny savings per ounce with the larger size. I wouldn't mess with the 13oz. size other than for trial purposes because for me that's only about 1.5 weeks worth of Crio Bru (I use a 32oz. press).

I love coffee, but have a low tolerance for caffeine. Crio Bru is DELICIOUS and does not give me the caffeine shakes or low blood sugar. I put both coffee and Crio Bru in the filter. (It MUST be a metal filter Osaka, Titanium Coated, Gold Pour Over Cone Dripper, Reusable Stainless Steel Coffee Filter for Osaka, Chemex, Hario, Carafes and More "Kokyo"as the oil in the Crio Bru clogged up my paper ones.) With the Chemex Chemex 3-Cup Classic Glass Coffee Maker, the Crio Bru, a locally roasted coffee blend and THISPowerLix Milk Frother Handheld Battery Operated Electric Foam Maker For Coffee, Latte, Cappuccino, Hot Chocolate, Durable Drink Mixer With Stainless Steel Whisk, Stainless Steel Stand Include little gadget to whip my cream and a very well insulated coffee cup, I can savor my perfect coffee for almost an hour, and it's as delicious as anything I buy from a coffee shop.. And if I want a hot drink at night, the Crio Bru by itself is chocolatey but does not keep me awake. I will be buying this regularly. 5 stars with NO reservations.

Tried this flavor and love it. Brewed Cacao has made my switch to remove caffeine from my diet so much easier than I thought it would be. Crio Bru has a lot of great flavors, but this one is one of my favorites.

During the week, I only drink 1 cup of coffee, in the morning. On weekends, when I am in the mood for a second hot beverage, this is my go to. I don't know how this would be, through a traditional trickle-brew coffee maker, as I use a press. This steeps for around 8 minutes. I would imagine that you can't get the same results from a trickle brewer. I could be wrong. However, the cinnamon and Cayan are an excellent finish to the cocoa. Add a little International Delight French vanilla and a splash of Half n Half and you have yourself a terrific beverage.

Who puts cayenne pepper in their coffee or cocoa? Horrible burning taste. Had no idea it had this in it, and Amazon says it’s not returnable. Buyer beware.
