Crio Bru Pumpkin Spice Light Roast 10oz Bag | Organic Healthy Brewed Cacao Drink | Great Substitute to Herbal Tea and Coffee | 99% Caffeine Free Gluten Free Whole-30 Low Calorie Honest Energy Brew And Enjoy Hot or Iced

If you're new to Crio-brew--you are in for a treat. But also, the rules are a bit different than coffee, so you gotta learn a little. A. This needs more ti-i-i-ime to brew. Just tossing the grounds into a drip filter--you're not gonna experience the full taste, and that's waste. B. But also, this stands up to being simmered (i.e. "cooked" the way coffee can't.) Many people use a French press--which is an interesting and "cultured" process. Me, I just toss some in a coffee pot with water and bring it to a boil (cowboy "coffee") then shut it off and wait a few minutes. Or, put a spoonful or two right in my coffee carafe, then brew regular coffee right into it, steep, then use a strainer to remove the "bits" of cacao as I pour (But they're not nasty-tasting really.) I'm gradually reducing my coffee--haven't eliminated it, so this just adds more nutrition and reduces my in-take (and need for) caffeine. Really yummy stuff, and versatile.

You ever order something that your totally excited for & your dog eats it? Yep, he ate the whole damn bag! He didn't die, and most definitely enjoyed it and recommended I buy myself some more, after he promised to keep his nose off my counter.. .Definitely NOT coffee, more like the best hot chocolate EVER! Sweetness is mild, not bitter at all. When you have to give up sweet heavenly coffee, don't dispare, heaven still holds Crio Bru!Guy tip- when your lady is a nagging and a raggin.. .this stuff is your golden ticket to bliss!

I really wanted to like this product but no matter how long I attempted to brew it, it was still watery and tasteless. You can almost smell the chocolate and pumpkin flavors if you try really hard. I tried 3 different ways: tea strainer, espresso maker, press pot and nada - still tastes like one would imagine a dirty sock would taste if prepared the same ways.Update: I couldn't find a link to change my seller review so this is it. Though they don't have a return policy, they made an exception in my case and I really appreciate that. I'm glad the product has an average 4-star review because any seller that is willing to go out of their way to satisfy a customer deserves a boost.

This is a delicious alternative to coffee!!! I am obsessed with it. It reduces my chocolate cravings too!My recipe:- Brew this on bold or in a french press.- add a little agave for a sweetener.- I add just a small scoop of Coco Mojo powder, which is also DELICIOUS, but expensive. So using a small scoop instead of the 2 TBSP they say to use makes it last much longer - and you don't need as much with the Crio Bru cacao as the base:[...]- Steam some milk with this magic device: Secura Automatic Electric Milk Frother and Warmer 250ml FREE cleaning brushand voila! Pure. Delicious.

The Pumpkin flavor tasted like a chemical taste. Contacted Crio Bru customer service and initially said they would provide a full refund....but in their next communication they denied the return. A company that won't honor their word doesn't deserve my business.Another problem is that you have to use double or triple what they say in the instructions so you can get a good taste except for the Pumpkin one that tastes terrible. Product is also too expensive for what you can brew. NOT RECOMMENDED

It is mostly pumpkin taste and very little of the dark cacao I wanted. I ordered by mistake but thought I'd try it. I'll use it until the French toast gets here anyway.

I was having trouble with anxiety when I had a lot to get done. I was short on Seratonin. This product gave me the satisfaction of starting my day with a cup of "coffee" while boosting my serotonin levels versus depleting them. I make it with a coffee press with a 15-minute hold. I add my Young Living essential oil blend of cinnamon/nutmeg and a little Vanilla Stevia, I foam my milk like a cappuccino. Thank you for your quality alternative to coffee product!

Experts say that Cacao is recommended for enhancing cognition. I drink a cup in the morning for this purpose and also for the non-caffienated stimulant. I love both Peppermint and Pumpkin Spice Crio Bru! I cannot consume caffiene. So, it's a great substitute with milder effects than caffiene with the added benefits of improved cognition and immunity.
