I’ve had the same conversation about cacao so many times the past few weeks, I wanted to drop some links in one spot.
Brewing cacao is similar to coffee, but no caffeine, and an amazing chocolate flavor. I have tried four different varieties of Crio Bru brand so far, but I’m curious about trying others, if you know of any.
I have had best results so far using a French Press, but I’ve also used a tea strainer, as well as a pour over coffee thingie. The Crio Bru offers a basket filter for drip coffee, but I think the French Press is sufficient. I will note that my son accidentally made a pot of cacao thinking it was coffee, and it didn’t strain through the coffee filter like he expected…resulting in a big, surprise mess! So, even though it’s a great coffee substitute, if you really want to make it in a drip coffeemaker, then you should probably get the special filter basket.
If you know of other brands, let me know!
