Crio Bru Brewed Cacao Ghana French Roast 1.5 lb — Ground Cacao for Coffee Makers, Bold Smoky Dark Chocolate Flavor

Crio Bru Brewed Cacao Ghana French Roast is 100% ground cacao you brew like coffee for a bold, roasty dark chocolate beverage that’s naturally low in caffeine.

Crio Bru's Ghana French Roast transforms roasted, ground cacao into a rich, chocolate-forward drink by brewing it in a coffee maker, French press, or pour-over. Harvested from Ghanaian cacao beans and roasted to a French roast profile, this 1.5 lb (24 oz) bag delivers deep, earthy notes and an intense unsweetened chocolate aroma—ideal for anyone seeking a coffee alternative or a new way to enjoy cacao’s flavor without traditional coffee beans.

What does Ghana French Roast taste like when brewed?

Expect pronounced dark chocolate and roasted nut notes with an underlying earthiness rather than the bright acidity of coffee. The roast adds smoky, toasted tones and a lingering cocoa finish that pairs well with milk, plant-based alternatives, or a touch of sweetener.

• Prominent unsweetened dark chocolate flavor and aroma
• Smoky, roasted French roast character with earthy undertones
• Works well with milk, creamers, sweeteners, or enjoyed black

How do I brew Crio Bru like coffee at home?

Use your usual coffee brewing method—French press, drip coffee maker, AeroPress, or pour-over—substituting ground cacao for coffee grounds. A standard starting ratio is similar to coffee: roughly 1 to 2 tablespoons of ground cacao per 6 ounces of water; adjust to taste for strength and flavor intensity.

• French press: steep 3–5 minutes, then press slowly for full-bodied flavor
• Drip/brew machine: use paper or permanent filter, brew as you would coffee
• Pour-over/AeroPress: control pour speed and bloom to manage flavor extraction

How much caffeine and stimulants are in brewed cacao?

Ground cacao contains very little caffeine compared with coffee; its primary stimulant is theobromine, which tends to act more gently and longer than caffeine. Many people choose brewed cacao to reduce caffeine intake while still enjoying a mild, uplifting effect.

• Significantly lower caffeine than regular coffee
• Theobromine provides milder, longer-lasting stimulation
• A good choice for afternoon or evening rituals for sensitive caffeine drinkers

This product is ground cacao only—unsweetened and low in carbs—bringing the natural nutrients of cacao into a brewed form. It contains flavonoids, magnesium, and polyphenol compounds typical of cacao, contributing flavor and nutritional value without added sugars or milk.

• 100% pure ground cacao, unsweetened and additive-free
