I saw an advertisement for Crio and it peaked my interest.  Has anyone ever tried it?  I read it's a bitter taste (it's effectively roasted Dark Chocolate) but it's healthier than coffee and contains better energy.

I also read that it's "expensive" but looking at the packing price I already pay the same amount of money to drink Seattle's Best.

What a wonderful idea! I miss coffee very much as I can no longer drink it for medical reasons, so looking forward to trying this. I wonder how it would work using the Aztec morning chocolate recipe? Thank you very much for this post, very interesting and useful!

Which recipe is that?  I couldn't find it on Google.

Supposedly you can reuse the cocoa for cooking or blending but that could be fattening and calorie rich?

never tried it but it does seem like it would be a healthy alternative to drinking coffee.  Does this drink give a feeling of an energy boost?  I have a feeling the antioxidants would give a type of feeling but I'm curious what others who have tried it think.

Yes well.. I never drink it but as from what I read I believe it have a great energy boost for you after drinking and much much healthier than coffee.

I bought the dark cavalla at the store, which used to be the "French dark roast" (one of the favourites)

Smell:  It smells like a chocolate factory when brewed

Energy:  Gave me a strong kick.  There's definitely energy in this.

Flavour

-  First had it straight.  Just like dark chocolate but is palatable doesn't have that ew taste texture or aftertaste).  I then added almond milk and styvia and then it taste like milk chocolate / hot chocolate.  I bet if I put this in fridge it would be nice.


Despite the cost I think I found a coffee substitute.

I did mine with a paper filter even though it wasn't recommended but I still love it.

I don't know what you need substitute for coffee. Just don't drink it. I don't get why people are drinking coffee at all. I have never drank coffee in my life. Is it any good? From this thread I see that coffee is bad for your health.

I usually drink this every morning during my vacation in my grand mother place. I love it more than coffee. My grandmother do the roasting and grinding its 100 percent homemade.

Healthwise not really - it's inferior to cocoa and coffee screws with your system, people drink coffee for the energy (minus the decaf crowd)

It's history -  coffee has been consumed in the old world for a long time.

It's like asking why people in China eat white rice when quinoa is arguably as good in taste but healthier.  Chinese already munch on spinach like it's going extinct, yet haven't heard of Quinoa which is a cousin of spinach but looks like a grain and can be used in a rice cooker

For the energy you say? Did you know that eating apple for breakfast gives you more energy than cup of coffee? It is proven scientific fact. Drinking coffee just makes your liver's life harder.

Yes from a technical point of view - apple has all those carbs and sugars, but it doesn't contain the stimulants we attribute as being 'energy'.

I buy mine at Costco and they have it in the grain section.  I didn't know about Quinoa until a health nut introduced me to it.  It's another "superfood" like cocoa and I eat quinoa (mixed with fruit in - and some people put chicken stock in it) everyday for lunch.  It's pretty tasty stuff.
