Crio Bru brewed cacao beverages are prepared any way that traditional coffee is prepared.
When it comes to brewing, you can brew our product in a french press or standard auto-drip coffee machine with a permanent gold filter (no paper filters please!). We include many other brewing method directions below.
To brew a stronger batch, think hotter and longer. Set your auto-drip to brew slowly or brew it longer in a French Press with boiling water. Below are some useful guidelines for brewing but keep experimenting until you discover your signature Bru.
