Questions

Brewing questions

How do you brew cacao?

Every way you would brew coffee. 2 tablespoons per 6 oz of water, just off the boil, three minutes in a French press — or use a drip machine or pour-over.

See the French Roast Starter Kit →

Do I need new equipment to brew cacao?

No. A French press, drip machine or pour-over all work. If you would rather not measure anything, our single-serve cups are compatible with Keurig® brewers.
