Brewed the same way. Here's what's different.
Crio Bru and Choffy both sell roasted cacao you brew like coffee. If you already like the drink, the only question is which bag to buy next. Here's which Choffy is closest to what you drink now, and how the two compare.
Tell us what you drink now. Here's the closest Choffy.
Matched on roast first, then origin, because roast decides most of what's in the cup.
Ecuador French Roast
The darkest and smokiest we make, and the one black-coffee drinkers tend to stay on.
French Roast Variety Set
Ecuador, Nigeria and Ivory Coast, all at French roast, so you can taste three estates at the roast you already drink.
Volta Medium Roast
The same medium roast level you drink now, from our Volta estate. Completely unsweetened.
Ecuador Medium Roast
Medium is our lightest roast, and Ecuador is our brightest, most fruit-forward estate.
Medium Roast Variety Set
We make no flavored bags. Start with our medium roasts side by side, then add your own cinnamon, vanilla or creamer.
What switchers say
“Absolutely delicious! I was pleasantly surprised! Crio bru does not even compare to Choffy.”
“This has such a nice deep flavor… seems much more flavorful than crio bru.”
“I use some from Choffy as well as some from Crio Bru. But Volta is always my mainstay.”
What Crio Bru drinkers ask first
Will it work in my Keurig®?
Yes. We sell pre-filled single-serve cups in five varieties, compatible with Keurig® brewers. Crio Bru's site sells none.
Shop cups →Is it the same thing?
Same category, different company: roasted, ground cacao beans you brew like coffee. The differences are roast choice, bag size, flavorings and single-serve cups.
Is anything added?
No. Every Choffy bag lists one ingredient: roasted cacao beans. We make no flavored products.

Four things that actually change your cup
Roasts on every estate
Every Choffy estate comes in at least two roasts, so when a cup is nearly right you move one notch. Two of Crio Bru's four unflavored origins, Venezuela and Nicaragua, come in one roast only (read 19 October 2026).
A bigger top bag
Our largest bag is 80 oz; theirs is 48 oz. On a subscription that's 32 more ounces in every delivery.
Flavorings added
Every Choffy bag lists one thing: roasted cacao beans. Crio Bru also sells a flavored range alongside its plain bags.
Single-serve cup varieties
Pre-filled cups compatible with Keurig® brewers. Crio Bru's site sells none; its FAQ points to reusable cups you fill yourself (read 19 October 2026).
Switching from Crio Bru
Is Choffy the same thing as Crio Bru?
No. They are two separate, independently owned companies. Both sell roasted cacao you brew like coffee, and on the plain bags the ingredient is the same. Choffy sells only unflavored single estates, goes up to an 80 oz bag and makes a pre-filled single-serve cup. Crio Bru sells plain origins alongside a flavored range and stops at 3 lb.
Can I brew it the same way?
Yes. French press, drip or pour-over, the same way you brew now. Our How to Brew page has the steps for each.
Can I use it in a Keurig®?
Yes. We sell pre-filled single-serve cups in five varieties, compatible with Keurig® brewers. Crio Bru sells no pre-filled cup on its own site; its FAQ points customers to reusable cups they fill themselves (read 19 October 2026).
Does TRYCHOFFY work if I've bought Crio Bru before?
Yes. It's 30% off your first Choffy order on one-time purchases of $45 or more, one use per customer.
Which is cheaper?
On Subscribe & Save, Choffy. Our monthly plan takes 12% off, so the 80 oz bag is $96.76, about $1.21 an ounce with free shipping. Crio Bru's subscription takes 5% off, so their 48 oz bag is $62.65, about $1.31 an ounce (read 19 October 2026). On one-time orders Crio Bru ships its 48 oz bag free and we charge shipping, so the subscription is where Choffy is cheaper. Your first one-time order is 30% off with TRYCHOFFY.
How much caffeine is in it?
About 20 mg in an 8 oz cup by our own measurement, pending an independent assay of the brewed cup, against about 96 mg in the same size cup of coffee, on USDA figures.
