Crio Bru Brewed Cacao Mocha Light Roast, 10 Ounce

I read others' negative reviews when I was re-ordering and was so surprised that I'm submitting a review--a rarity. This product is wonderful! Yes, the chocolate is bitter at first, but still rich and satisfying. It IS expensive, so I began drinking it only as a Sunday treat. After 6 weeks, I realized I was more engaged on Sundays. So I started drinking it 3 times a week. and my spirits improved. My cherished partner fought back courageously from a devastating stroke in 2016. Sadly, another stroke (in 2022) robbed him of his retrained speech ability. In 2025, he still cannot read, text, or converse, and it takes persistence from me just to convey news I know he'd like to know (the death of a longtime friend or that we'd have a new grandbaby soon). As caregiver, I constantly fought inertia. And so, finally, I began drinking a cup of Crio Bru every day. It may sound cheesy, but it's changed my life.

It is an excellent product Very good in coffee decaffeinated *****

Probably good for a person who likes a light coffee but I did not care for it as I did not taste a cacao mocha flavor particularly.

I had high hopes. Perhaps too high. The flavor is good. I will give them that. The grind is coarse and uneven. You have to use 50 to 100% more of this product than what you'd use of coffee grounds to get any flavor. You cannot use paper filters as they clog up and the water would not pass through. I finally let it steep like tea then poured it through a sieve to filter it. It's already more expensive than coffee grounds and it produces less beverage. I won't be buying it again.

nice chocolate flavor, not as strong of taste as hoped for. add some milk and its better.

I bought this product in hopes that it would be good. I love cacao, I use as a staple in my house for smoothies, baking etc. I was very excited when it arrived and immediately made some. It was Awful. I didn't give up though I tried it a few different ways with Cream and half and half a little bit of maple syrup for sweetener little vanilla things like that. I even bought the Mesh gold filter that they said would be better when using this product. This product is bitter and has a very unpleasant taste, unfortunately it is not worth buying to me.

I like that I can buy this without a subscription and shipping is faster

I put honey in it otherwise it is a little bitter. Still good and healthy.
