Instant Pot Crio Bru is a deep, dark, healthy chocolate drink that you can drink multiple times a day and feel amazing. Making a habit of drinking chocolate each and every day is now very highly advised! This recipe is for the most basic version of Pressure Cooker Crio Bru and an essential for your kitchen.
For those of you that like to sleep in, I’ve got a secret for you. Early, EARLY mornings are the best time of day.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the time of day full of funny kid comments, cuddles, laughing, etc., but do you even know what you’re sleeping through when you wait for the sun to come up?
Peace, total peace and quiet.
The home is quiet, the world is quiet, my phone is quiet.
It’s in those serene quiet moments, I can breathe freely. I can start a thought, and actually finish it.
It’s heaven, my secret piece of heaven, that I’ll sacrifice extra sleep for, any day.
You know what makes it even better? The smell of dark chocolate and a mug full of steaming hot Crio Bru.
Before we go any further, let me answer the question I suspect is on so many minds:
WHAT IS CRIO BRU?
Crio Bru is roasted and ground cocoa beans that can be brewed like coffee, but is absolutely nothing like coffee.
Crio Bru contains little to no caffeine so you will not experience jittery side effects and sleeplessness.
What it does contain is theobromine which works with your body to provide a gentle boost that won’t lead to a crash later in the day.
Crio Bru is also free of gluten, dairy, cholesterol, soy, sodium and sugar. On the Crio Bru website you can read about other benefits such as immune system support, weight loss, and much more!
But most importantly to me, Crio Bru is chocolate in its purest form and is absolutely delicious!

When I decided to take a course several years ago called Go Sugar Free, Crio Bru is what got me through. I drink it unsweetened with almond milk and my kids drink it with just a touch of maple syrup.
For years, I brewed it in a french press, which was kind of a pain and waiting fifteen minutes to drink it was torture.
On one of those quiet mornings, I got the idea to brew it in my pressure cooker, and you know what? I haven't touched my french press ever since.
I make a big batch, strain it, store it in glass jars in my fridge and my Crio Bru is now only two minutes away from being ready.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE, CHERISH, AND ADORE CRIO BRU IN THE INSTANT POT
- Dump everything in, push a button, and walk away. The Instant Pot's got your back.
- Even with using less Crio Bru grounds than recommended on the package, the depth of flavor and color is far richer than you can achieve from a french press.
- Did I mention it’s healthy? Yes, good for you dark chocolate in a warm, cozy, drinkable form.
WHAT DOES CRIO BRU TASTE LIKE?
If you take your first sip expecting cloyingly sweet hot chocolate you will be disappointed. This is not birthday cake people.
This is deep, dark, unsweetened chocolate in its most pure and natural form and it is bitter in the most heavenly way.
I appreciate that not everyone appreciates chocolate as dark as I do, which is why I enjoy mine simply with a splash of almond milk, and my kids (and everyone else I beg to try it) gets almond milk, a touch of cream (or a Frozen Whipped Cream Dollop) and maple syrup.
I’m not very familiar with the taste of coffee, but I imagine it is very similar in consistency and bitterness.
HOW TO MAKE CRIO BRU IN AN INSTANT POT
- Pour water, milk, and maple syrup (if using) into the pressure cooker pot
- Add Crio Bru grounds
- Whisk to combine
- Pressure cook 10 minutes (or 5 works if you’re in a hurry)
- Pour through a strainer to filter out the grounds
- Enjoy a cup and then pour the rest into mason jars
- Once cooled, top with a pourable lid and store it in the fridge to enjoy all week

WHAT CRIO BRU FLAVOR SHOULD I BUY?
There are several varieties of Crio Bru, and I’ve tried them all. Here are my suggestions:
- If you’ve never tried Crio Bru before, go with a light roast flavor like Ghana or Ecuador. The Peppermint and Pumpkin Spice flavors are also a light roast, but I prefer to buy Ghana and then flavor it how I want to.
- If you like spicy, you must try out Maya. It’s not overly spicy, but it leaves a wonderful, gentle burn in the back of your throat.
- If you’re a coffee drinker and used to a deep, dark, bitter roasted flavor, my all time favorites are Ghana French Roast and their newest flavor Mocha.
MORE CRIO BRU PRODUCTS YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE
Criosa Chocolate Covered Cacao Beans are straight up the best chocolate treat I’ve ever had in my life. That is no exaggeration whatsoever. They are the only treat I’ve ever hidden from my family, and after you taste one, you will completely understand why. CA-RAY-Z good!
Criosa Dark Chocolate Cacao Chips are just slightly larger than mini chocolate chips and actually taste like real, pure chocolate (compared to other store-bought brands I know). I have never tried it, but on the package it gives directions for adding the chips to a cup of Crio Bru to make it sweeter and more creamy.
TIPS FOR BREWING THE BEST CUP OF CRIO BRU
- Five to ten minutes results in great flavor, with ten being the darkest and most rich taste (my favorite)
- You have a choice of milk. I’ve used skim milk over a hundred times without any issues of curdling, but cows milk does tend to foam more than others. I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk or lite coconut milk (full fat coconut milk will harden once refrigerated).
- To sweeten it, I highly suggest real maple syrup. My second choice is agave or regular ol' white sugar. Honey tastes very strange, although I believe a very light honey would work fine.
- As you can imagine, drinking poorly filtered Crio Bru with leftover grounds in it is not pleasant. You will need a very fine mesh strainer.

Instant Pot Basic Crio Bru Recipe
Instant Pot Crio Bru is a healthy, piping hot cup of chocolate heaven. So many possible flavor combos, but here's the basic recipe to start with.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 30
- Yield: 8 cups 1x
- Category: Drinks
- Method: Pressure Cooker
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- ½ cup Crio Bru (any variety)
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (can substitute with any milk)
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Add Crio Bru, water, milk, and maple syrup (if using) to the pressure cooker pot. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
- When cooking is complete, use a natural release for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour Crio Bru through the sieve to filter out the grounds. Be careful! The Crio Bru will be VERY hot.
- Serve immediately with a Frozen Whipped Cream Dollop or pour into 2 quart size Mason jars, top with a pourable lid, and store in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy cold or pour into a microwave safe mug and warm for 1-2 minutes.
Notes
- Cow's milk will foam more than almond and coconut milk. If using cow's milk, I suggest adding it after the Crio Bru has been cooked and strained.
- To sweeten, I suggest pure maple syurp. Agave and white sugar are good alternatives.
- For a less intense flavor, pressure cook for five minutes.
- Strain through a FINE MESH strainer to collect all of the grounds.
- Nutrition facts do not include maple syrup
Keywords: hot chocolate, crio bru, hot drink, coffee
I feel like I must have done something wrong – I halved the recipe and just used water (so 1/4 cup Crio Bru and 4 cups water). I pressure cooked on high for 10 minutes, let it release naturally for 10 minutes. I strained it and tried some. It tastes like plain hot water! My husband tasted it and agreed – it smells like chocolate, but there’s only the tiniest hint of chocolate taste. I even used bottled water to make sure I wasn’t getting weird-tasting water. Any ideas what went wrong?? I even tried putting the same water and grounds back in for 10 more minutes, and still nothing – just hot water taste.
Ashley, Have you tried it with added milk and sweetener? I compare it to black coffee that tastes bitter and bland until you’ve added something to it (like cocoa powder). I prefer it straight but my kids need the milk and maple syrup. Which Crio Bru flavor did you get? Next time try doing the 1/2 cup with 6 cups water and start it at night then let it sit overnight in the pot. Do it for 20 minutes. Let me know how this works for you!
I absolutely love this! I’ve been trying to get in extra protein, fiber and calcium, so I use 1 cup of both the Instant Pot brewed Crio Bru and Kirkland Plain Almond Milk – microwave it with a splash of vanilla, then stir in 2 tbls of whole chia seeds and let it sit until it’s cool enough to “drink”. My husband is not a fan (he calls it chewy chocolate), but I love it in the afternoon when it’s too late for coffee. I did not care for it using the French Press or stovetop Espresso Maker – thank you so much for the Instant Pot Inspiration!

I have been making my crio with this recipe for years now and always have it ready in the fridge throughout the winter. Question I have is, has anyone tried to re-brew used grounds at a different ratio with other ingredients? Longer time at high pressure? Etc. How did it turn out? The grounds themselves aren’t exactly cheap just hoping someone smart figured a way to get a second batch out of them. Any other creative uses for the spent grounds? Much thanks for the recipe, so much more flavorful than french press version.

Can you give the actual amounts of everything you use when you make this in the instant pot? thank you:)
Hey Christy!
Scroll down to the bottom of the recipe and it will have the recipe card for you!
I have used this recipe as my inspiration to create a delicious Keto Hot Cocoa morning drink. I’m allergic to coffee – so was very excited to discover Crio Bru through your Web site. I have evolved this recipe – I use a 1.4 litre bottle of Califia Go Coconuts, and then add two 1.4 litre bottles of filtered water. 1 cup of Crio Bru grounds of choice (I like 1/2 cup Maya & 1/2 cup of Ghana dark roast). I brew for 4 minutes at high, then natural release for 10 minutes (more if I forget because I get distracted!) I then filter it through a fine strainer, and store in the fridge. This batch lasts me 12 servings . . . 1-1/2 cups each. I add a a tbsp of Chocolate Collagen, then microwave. Mix well and add a “titch” of half salt (because it has potassium), 1/2 tsp vanilla, and a couple drops of Hazelnut Better Stevia. Best.Hot.Cocoa.Ever! I drink this every morning. Sometimes I add about a tbsp of organic Cereal Cream . . . if I have it on hand.

I love Crio Bru but have only made it in the coffee maker which doesn’t give it enough time to brew well so I’m definitely going to try this way! Since we’re going into summer, I also need to try it iced, something I just discovered today. I tell everyone if you put enough creamer and sugar in it, it’s like drinking a Hershey’s bar. 😂
April, I love it cold in the summer too! Over finely crushed ice – yum! It’s definitely stronger from the pressure cooker. Try it!
I love Crio Bru, too! Thank you for the “bulk prep” idea!!! The only thing I don’t like about Crio Bru is straining it. When I drank coffee, I found that a fine mesh strainer was perfect. But when I strain Crio Bru with a fine mesh strainer, it gets stopped up after 1 or 2 cups even though I’m using the little scrubber that came with it. When I look at it, the little holes look to be open, but it just won’t drain! Any thoughts or suggestions on this?
Melissa, hmm…Can you link me to what strainer you have? I never have a problem with that!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B5S11GC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_i_1Q4059MK296FD74XH44W
This is the one I have. I would love to know which one you use!
Melissa, Oh I see! That is different than how I do it. I use this https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CTG-00-3MS-Stainless-Steel-Strainers/dp/B007TUQF9O/ref=sr_1_4?crid=TULT5RN7O47T&keywords=fine+mesh+strainer&qid=1652358671&s=home-garden&sprefix=fine%2Cgarden%2C152&sr=1-4
Thanks for this page, I found it while waiting for my first order of Crio Bru to arrive and decided since we already had an Instant Pot (and no other ‘coffee’ making equipment – I was shopping french presses etc) that this would be the way to start. Wow, I’m hooked.
Since I intended to use whipped cream / cream to thicken, I made my first batch with 8 cups of water. Very good, but could be stronger once cream added. Batch 2 I decided to cut to 6 cups, and here’s where things went awry 🙂 It was late in the evening, and I wanted to make sure I had Bru for my morning. Got it going in the Instant Pot – and promptly fell asleep on the couch 😛
So while I feared the batch would be ruined, I’m here to say – with 8:18 of natural release time showing on the Instant Pot, the batch was dark chocolate DELICIOUS and fine 🙂 Feels like I may have extracted every possible bit of chocolately goodness from those beans – but no bitterness etc. that I feared. So I may use extended brews from now on!

Curt, excuse me while I jump up and down with excitement right now! I am absolutely going to try this tonight! Crio Bru is one of my most favorite things and I’m ecstatic to discover if it could be even better than I’ve had it for the past 10 years. Thanks for sharing this!
Do you really store it in the fridge? I made this yesterday and it was delicious (I also used just water, no almond milk) and stored it in a jar in the fridge, and this morning it’s already got mold spots all over the top. Is it not mold?? Is it supposed to do this?
Korynne, Oh yes, I have it in my fridge at all times. About 5 days at the most until it’s gone. There is some fat in Crio Bru that solidifies and rises to the top (kind of like what you see with canned coconut). It melts once it’s heated. I’m pretty sure that’s what that would have been. I can’t imagine mold would grow in that short amount of time. Put some in a cup and heat it up. I get it will disappear 🙂
I tried the recipe (replacing the milk with water and halving it, since I don’t drink that much), and it’s fantastic! Cooking Crio Bru via the Instant Pot (or maybe just cooking it for this long) does seem to reduce some of the acidy/fruity flavors (or just adds more complex flavors to mask it). It definitely made a difference compared to my French press. Thanks so much for posting this!
After straining it and letting it cool a bit, I poured it into my French press to strain it better, and that worked really well.
Since I usually brew my Crio Bru twice (it’s less acidic the second time), I went ahead and put the beans back in the pot and tried brewing again with only 3 cups of water (it was 4 originally, since I halved the recipe), and the result wasn’t very good… too weak. I would definitely use less water the second time if I tried it again, but it may be that the beans aren’t good twice in the instant pot. 🙂
Thanks again for posting!

I’m so excited you tried this out! I haven’t used my french press in years after figuring this out. It really does taste better. That’s interesting about the second cook you did. I’ve never tried reusing them like that so that’s good to know!
I haven’t tried the recipe yet, but I may soon. One quick question and a few comments.
Most of the Crio Bru flavors have tasted the same as the others for me. I was using a single-serving coffee maker, but it was so hard to clean (I don’t drink coffee, but maybe chocolate beans have more fat, which made it harder to clean than with coffee?), so I got a French press. But I noticed the “fruitiness” or “acidy” flavor seems to intensify with the French press, and I personally HATE fruity notes in my chocolate. I prefer the more espresso-like notes. Does using the Instant Pot increase that fruity/acidy flavor?
I’ve found I have to pour hot water in the french press and dump it out (not needing to wait the full press time) and THEN do the French press as instructed to get rid of the fruity/acidy notes. That feels like a waste. 🙂
For folks wondering how friends can make theirs without an Instant Pot, I originally used a tea tumbler with built-in strainer. You could probably use a loose tea strainer that you would put in a mug, too. You can also take two or three coffee filters and form your own little “tea bag” of Crio Bru… that worked okay, too. I seemed to get a lot of sediment through like that, but it was okay. You get a fine sediment through with the French Press, too, but not really any larger particles… the other methods will let some larger ones sift through.
For those wondering about just making it with cacao powder, I’ve done that and love it (don’t use too much, though… too much theobromine all at once can be bad), but I read a blog postulating that you’re getting more of the “bad” things that can get into chocolate, like heavy metals, if you eat it as opposed to brewing it, but I think that was based on what happens with tea, not any specific science with brewing chocolate.
Hope that helps, and if anyone knows how to reduce that fruit-forward acidy flavor, please let me know.
Thanks!
I’m glad the Instant Pot helped with the fruity/acid notes. I’ve also noticed that their different flavors actually taste different from the Instant Pot, whereas with my french press, they all tasted the same to me. Thanks for the note on cacao powder. I’ve never tried it but have always wondered.
Just wanted to let everyone know that you can buy cacao nibs, lightly roast them in the oven, and grind in a food processor or coffee mill.
MUCH cheaper then buying Crio Bru, and the same thing.
I also sometimes just add some organic cacao powder… makes for a slightly thicker, richer drink.
Betty, thank you! People have asked me this, I wasn’t quite sure how to recreate it. I’m going to try adding a scoop of cacao powder not too!
I make this often. I leave out the milk and sweetener so I can add whatever flavors I want when I drink it but love using the instant pot to brew it. If I want to splurge I add chai simple syrup and a little cream to the already brewed crio bru and it makes a delicious chocolate chai, if I’m looking for something a little healthier I just add a little almond milk. Sometimes I just add the chai spices right to the instant pot and brew them together. This recipe is so versatile. I never would have thought to brew it in the instant pot if I hadn’t come across this recipe.
Nola, I’m so glad you’ve discovered this method! It’s so much more flavorful than the french press, I can never go back. I’ve never heard of chai syrup, now I want to find some asap! Thanks for sharing your Crio Bru favorites, I love to play around with the flavors.
I brewed my first batch in my instant pot. It’s subtle chocolate but I can see how addictive it will be. When it sits, I noticed it looked like it separated a little but I wonder if that’s because of the almond milk. I may try it with just water and add milk or almond milk afterwards. Have you ever used more than a 1/2 cup?
Leanne, depending on the brand of almond milk you use, it can separate a lot. When I use homemade almond milk, the separation is very obvious. You can definitely add it to individual cups as you serve it though. Is the 1/2 cup your referring to about the maple syrup? I add 2 cups of milk to a full pot of Crio Bru plus a 1/2 cup maple syrup.
I am new to Crio Bru and I am loving it! I have a couple questions about your recipe though. Is it really just 1/2 a cup of grounds to 8 cups of liquid? I have to use 1/4 cup grounds to 2 cups liquid in the French press so I wanted to make sure. Also, if not using milk should I use 8 cups of water or stick with 6? Thanks so much!
Sarah, Yep, just 1/2 cup! It’s seriously so much better with the Instant Pot. I Love it! I’d do 8 cups water if you’re just wanting it dark like from a french press.
You made me a lover of crio bru! I’m a hot chocolate snob (I drink it like coffee) and I love that each person can sweeten it to their liking. My question is, any other ideas of how to “brew it” if a person doesn’t have an instant pot or French press? I purchased a whole bunch of flavors as Christmas gifts but then realized some of my recipients have neither. 😬
Ashley, Yay! I’m so glad you love it! As far as brewing it, the only ways I know of are the French Press, the pressure cooker, or a coffee maker. However, with the french press, all you’re doing is pouring hot water over it and letting it sit for 15 minutes, so I’m sure it could be done with a cup, boiling water, and a sieve. However, the flavor is definitely more intense from a pressure cooker and coffee maker than the french press. What a great gift! I’m planning on doing the same!
So, I tried this as my first attempt at making any Crio Bru product. And, honestly, if this is how it’s supposed to taste, I’m not sure why anyone wants to drink it. It is very bitter. But when I add the recommended milk and sweetener, I have no chocolate flavor left. Any recommendations?
Monique, oh the chocolate flavor should really hit you in the face! Did you make it in the Instant Pot?
Hmmm….I just made my first batch, too, and I’m a little underwhelmed. I don’t dislike it, but it’s so weak and watery tasting. I knew it wouldn’t be like hot chocolate, but I’m not sure this is what it’s supposed to taste like. I DID have a problem with my sealing ring, so I had to stop and restart the whole process. It smelled a little “burnt” at the end. I’ve got 4 bags of various flavors, so I’m not giving up! 🙂 But the chocolate flavor definitely did not “hit me in the face”! HAHAHA! 🙂
Kat, Keep giving it a chance. I know that sounds weird, but it’s one of those things that grows on you and will become a cherished warm moment of the day. Speaking from experience :). Did you do anything different from the directions?
I’ve been making crio bru for about a year. The flavor is stronger in the instant pot, but I did 1/2 cup to 5 cups water and then just added the milk, coconut milk, creamer or whatever you want to add to it after I had poured some in a mug. That way you can make it as flavorful as you would like it to be.
Julie, great idea!
I always use a heaping 1/2 c. crio bru to 6 c. water, brew in IP 10 minutes and let fully natural release. I do not use milk or sweetener of any kind. I am a dark chocolate, black coffee person, so this works very well for me. It is not bitter at all. I like it alone with no milk or sweetener, but I am now mixing it half and half with my black coffee for my 2nd and 3rd cups of the day. Reduces my caffeine intake but still enjoy coffee and the roasty cocoa flavors. The 2 flavors I have used so far are Uber Dark and Double Chocolate.
Have you every tried this with cacao powder instead of crio bru? I get the organic, fair trade cacao powder from Costco in a big bag and it lasts a long time. I use it instead of regular baking cocoa. I’ve also found it in raw form in some stores. I think this is a good, and cheaper alternative to crio bru, except it is ground fine not like crio bru/coffee. Just curious for you thoughts. 🙂
Wendy
P.S. I have tried crio bru and didn’t like the whole French press thing.
★★★★★
Wendy, I’ve never tried it, but I am curious. I wonder if you’d even have to strain it . . . If you give it a try let me know. And I agree, I do no like French Presses!
Do you have to add milk or just it just make it creamier? New to the whole Crip brew scene 🙂
Lex, you can just use water if you’d like. The milk just makes it creamier and less bitter.
Do you know if the discount code is still live?
Thanks!
Jen, Yes, it should still be active!
Hmm. I’ve tried TIDBITS10 in chrome and safari with no luck =(
Jen, I sent them an email. I’m not sure why it won’t work. They were going to keep it active until spring. I’ll keep ya posted!
Okay, they got back to me already. She says it is still active. She says it is case sensitive so make sure you’re using TIDBITS10. And if that still doesn’t work, she said to email her at [email protected] after you place your order and she will apply the discount.
Sounds good. I couldn’t get it to work, but I placed the order and I sent an email to the company =) Thanks!
From reading the comments, my guess is many of the commenters did not do their reading. I just received a bag and will try it soon. I am not expecting it to be like coffee (I don’t drink coffee), I am not expecting it to be like typical hot chocolate, and I am not expecting it to be rich and thick. I am expecting to drink a few glasses before making a decision whether or not to buy another bag.
Brace, let me know what you think!
I just got 2 bags of Crio Bru; 1 french roast and 1 caramel (thanks for the discount). I make my own vanilla and copy cat Monin Vanilla Syrup. I made the caramel and vanilla. WAY YUM!
Love your blog and emails. Thanks so much

★★★★★
Judy, Oh wow, that sounds amazing. I’d have given anything for a seat at your table today 🙂
Hi! Just got my bags of Crio tonight! QQ before I make using the IP in the morning: if I’m making a large batch, does the cold Crio refrigerated for later still taste great if heated up? I’m partial to warm beverages.
Madiha, Yes! That is how I do it. I make up 8 cups of it and store it in mason jars in the fridge. When I want some, I just warm it up in a mug for a minute or 2. It tastes amazing 🙂
Hello – thanks so much for sharing this. I have been using my french press and I love the outcome. I will try with insta pot shortly. Have you tried it without milk or other milk substitute? I am wondering what it would be like black and add milk later if needed. Thanks!
Dawn, you will be blown away at how much better it is with the IP! It’s amazing! I’ve used almond milk, coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk, and cows milk. I like them all. You can definitely brew it with just water and add creamer/milk after. Enjoy!
In this recipe, you say in the instructions to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Then in the notes you say “For a darker flavor, pressure cook for ten minutes.” Is that an additional 10 minutes? I cooked for 10 minutes and it was pretty intense. I looked at your other recipes for crio bru in the instant pot and most of them say cook for 5 minutes. Is this supposed to start at 5 minute cook time as well? I’m super grateful for this recipe by the way! Thank you!
Rachelle, Sorry about that! I adjusted it recently because I like the 10-minute flavor better, but I didn’t realize I missed a few details! I used to do it for 5 minutes, now I do it for 10 minutes to make it stronger. Thanks for the catch!
Never heard of this til read here. DELICIOUS. I added sugar… shouldn’t have. After I drink this batch I will try it without. Used my goat milk for the milk. Thanks for the 10% off!
★★★★★
Karen, I’m so glad I helped you discover it! It really is one of my favorite things everyday!
After experimentation I’ve finally settled on 2 Tbsp of sugar to the pot 😊. 1/2c was too much as was 1/4c, and I didn’t care for it with zero. Thanks a lot Marci for giving me another addiction 😂
Karen, that’s the level of sweetener I’m trying to get my kids accustomed too 🙂
I like giving people addictions to things that will make them happy AND healthy!
Ok, I bought some and made a cup with my French press. 😕 Meh! What’s all the hoopla about? This morning I made a half batch, 10 min., in my 3 qt. and that was the game changer. It’s going to be nice having this chilling in my fridge this summer.
★★★★★
Lin, RIGHT!? It’s soooooo much better in the pressure cooker. I threw my french press away after it cracked and never went back.
This is quite tasty…it tasted like mocha coffee to me with just a subtle sweetness. I used half and half for the milk because that’s all I had on hand. I can see how the Vanilla almond milk would taste good, too. I cut the recipe in half and put in my 3 qt Instant Pot Duo. Before it ever came to pressure, it started making a loud hissing, boiling sound, I guess because the liquids were boiling. I turned it off before it came to pressure because I’d never heard that sound before. Maybe it was bubbling so much due to the half and half. I Just let it sit there and do an NPR – probably took about 10 mts. When I opened the lid, the liquids were very hot even though it did not pressure cook for the 10 mts. I used a fine mesh strainer but still had to end up using a piece of cheesecloth placed over the strainer to get it completely strained. I can also see how the chilled Crio Bru would be good in a smoothie thickened with a banana. This won’t replace my morning coffee but it will be a good addition to my afternoon when I want something hot but no more coffee. Thank you for sharing this delicious drink with us!
★★★★★
Glinda, I agree, it has a similar taste to a roasted coffee. I’ve never tried making it in a 3 quart, but I would think a half recipe would work great. I’m not really sure what happened there! I’m glad it still worked and you got to experience my favorite drink ever 🙂
Marci, I ordered the Sample Starter for Christmas and tried it today with my McGyver’d DIY French Press. Next I want to try it in my IP. Would your recipe work minus the addition of milk or almond milk. Hoping to be a Crio Bru purist

Kathy, yay! I hope it becomes a wonderful part of your life as well. You can for sure make it without the milk. I’ll drink it that way too, but I feel like the addition of almond milk cuts the bitterness nicely without me wanting to add sweetener.
OMG! I can’t believe I never knew CrioBru existed! Thank you for exploding my world with this delicious drink. I drink my coffee in the wee hours too and have been searching for a Warm midday beverage without caffeine. This. Has. Everything! I ordered my first bag using your code (thanks) and have made 2 Instant Pot brews so far. I even had left over whipping cream from thanksgiving pie and froze it as a topping. I can see this drink in my future forever.
★★★★★
Steph, I get giddy just reading that. I love it so much too!
dark chocolate & orange zest are a fantastic combination!
Oooooo, that’s going to be next.
Sounds yummy. You inspired me to make chocolate milk in my instant pot! I’m trying to do no sugar. I love, love, love cacao powder. You can now get it is a big bag at Costco. It isn’t raw but that’s okay, it still has way more health benefits that more processed cocoa powder. It is hard to blend into your “milk” though. I usually add it to a little hot water to make a liquid then add my “milk” and ice. I decided to do a big batch in the instant pot today after seeing your post. I just used unsweetened almond milk, cacao powder, pinch sea salt and a little vanilla. I didn’t really measure anything. It’s my favorite drink.
Wendy, Oh I would love that. You don’t add any sweetener at all?
I love chocolate and cherry!
Lisa, Me too! That is the makings of my favorite smoothie actually.
Blend it with banana and freeze it in popsicle trays. Great healthy snack.
Jeanne, now that is a fantastic idea!
Do you stir it all once you put it in the pot ? Or just dump and go?
Michelle, it wouldn’t hurt to stir, but typically I just dump it and start it.
The first time I just dumped, but a lot of the grounds ended up the sides of the pot. So since then I’ve been thoroughly whisking them in before starting.
Just made my first batch and I loved it!! My friend Lyn told me how good it was and I had to try. I sweetened with 1/4c maple syrup but I think I can cut that back even more. I’m so excited…it’s delicious!! Thank you!!
★★★★★
Page, I love Lyn! I’m glad you got to try the Crio Bru, it makes my mornings better always:). Are you the Page that suffers from migraines?
She loves you too! Yes, I am the one. They are better in general but the pollen the last week or so is giving me fits.
Also, I made a smoothie yesterday and used Crio Bru instead of water and it was great! Helped cover up the kale and moringa! I had a friend over last night and had her try my Crio Bru and she loved it and asked for more!
I thought your name was familiar! I’ve told you before, but I haven’t had a single migraine since going sugar free. If you ever do Go Sugar Free with Lyn, let me know if it helps yours. I’ve tried to get some of my patients to take the challenge so I could observe their response, but there are not many people interested in giving up all sugar cold turkey, go figure 😉
Yes! I love using it to make smoothies. I love bananas and almond butter, I’ve never been able to handle kale in smoothies so I use spinach. I’m glad your friend loved it too, a lot of times people are expecting hot chocolate and don’t really love it at first taste.
I had it as is and it was so good! Now I can’t wait to try it with my favorite chocolate combination, raspberry!
Michelle, I’ve tried to figure out that combo but it always tastes a bit off. I won’t give up though!
Did I do something wrong? Or were my expectations just thinking it would be like hot chocolate? It tasted very watery to me. I was expecting a rich, chocolaty taste and it really just seemed…watery. I used a total of 8 cups of liquid (6 cups water, 2 cups almond milk). As well as half a cup of the Ghana Crio Bru.
Lisa, it’s definitely not like classic hot chocolate that is really sweet and thick. You could make it that way by adding more sweetener and cream, but for me this is a drink that is healthy enough that I can drink it all day. I wouldn’t consider it a treat, just a very comforting, good for you, hot drink to sip on when I’m cold. Give it a few more tries and I believe you’ll fall in love with it too!
I’m always drawn to chocolate with orange or raspberry.
So I am sold on trying this. Going sugar free has been amazing but I do miss chocolate something fierce. Hoping this will replace my unhealthy mounds. Thinking of trying it with coconut milk.
Jen, I drink it without any sweetener. I wouldn’t say everyone would love it like that, but I adore it this way! Coconut milk and almond milk are my favorite milk to brew it with. My kids love it with a bit of maple syrup.
Mocha or vanilla almond would be my choice. Ordering some of this from Amazon for The Man, who is a non-coffee drinker.
Jilly, You will love it!
Hi there! If I wanted to use dairy instead of the almond milk would I just use the recommended amount of water and add the dairy as I drink it? Or just substitute 2 additional cups of water in the brewing process? Thanks!!
Bryna, I make my kids with cows milk all the time, so that will work just great! Just substitute it for the almond milk.
Have you tried using Coconut milk? Just wondering if that would work?
M, I have, and it’s dreamy! I would just suggest using the lite kind because the full fat solidifies in the fridge quite a bit.
How about coconut and almond milk, kind of like an almond joy candy bar but without the fat and calories!
This sounds amazing!!!! Could you tell me what strainer you used? I clicked on the link you posted and it’s not working. Is it a fine mesh?
Rebecca, yep it’s a fine mesh strainer. I’ll check my link, thanks for letting me know!
Thanks! Getting ready to make this now!
Rebecca, then may your day be awesome 😉
unless I did something wrong this seems way too diluted to me. I made it per the recipe shown and it came out like barely chocolate flavored water…
★★
Bonnie, It is more watered down compared to traditional hot chocolate. But it definitely has a chocolate flavor. It’s more of a drink you’d drink everyday, any time of day, vs hot chocolate as dessert. Does that make any sense? My sister does 2 cups milk and 2 cups of water to make if a bit less watery, you could try that. What kind of Crio Bru did you get?
Just got my first bag this morning and couldn’t wait to try it! It’s heavenly…how have I never heard of this before! Thanks!
★★★★★
Jill, It’s amazing right! I just had a big cup of it myself!
Would love to give this a try! I would love chocolate and coconut ????
Have you ever tried putting it in at night on a timer? I’d assume you would need to do it without the milk. Think it would turn out ok?
Ooo….I love chocolate with anything really. I think peanut butter is my favorite! Peanut butter Crio bru???!? I’d love to win mostly because I really NEED this cookbook!
I love my Crio with pumpkin spice or with a drop of peppermint oil.
I love chocolate and mint lately! This sounds like a perfect coffee replacement for me, I’m 30 weeks pregnant and miss my warm drink in the mornings!!
★★★★★
Never tried it, but would love to make it in my Instant Pot Mini in our RV. Maybe chocolate-hazelnut?
★★★★★
I just recently heard of crio bru. I’m excited to try it soon! I love chocolate and peanuts or coconut! And caramel is always good too!
I’ve never heard of Crio Bru until I saw your post a couple of days ago. I bought some yesterday at a local health food store, and made it this morning in my Instant Pot. It was good, but it kind of tasted “watered down”. I made it exactly how you did, except I used agave instead of the maple syrup. I think next time I will try like half the water…?
Chocolate with caramel and sea salt is my favorite but I also love chocolate with orange or peanut butter.
Mint Chocolate Caramel sounds yum!
Mint chocolate caramel.
★★★★★
This looks wonderful. I want to show how to do this on my facebook live show, so, I have to learn how to do it. I love chocolate and hazelnut together, so much!
I like dark chocolate with cherries & almonds or with sea salt & almonds.
Hi,
My favorite combo is chocolate and raspberry. It is a lovely combination just before bed or after shoveling that first winter snow. I am intrigued by the idea of an electric pressure cooker; I have always used my ancient Presto on the stove.
I’d love to try the Crio Bru!, It sounds divine.
Could you trek me where you purchase this? If like to try it!
★★★★★
Jill, I order from Amazon, Vitacost, and a lot of times right from Crio Bru’s website. I put the links in the post if that helps
Mmm I love chocolate mint, Neapolitan, and smores.
Ooh I would love to try this! Chocolate and hazelnuts!
What about coconut Crio Bru.
Benefits of coconut oil and cocoa beans.
I love Chocolate with caramel.
I love chocolate/orange. Is this the quality of chocolate thaat they use at that Serendipity place that has frozen hot chocolate? I have never experienced it, but have heard it is wonderful.
I love the flavor of (good) chocolate and orange together <3
It’s chocolate and raspberry for me. Well heck, it’s chocolate and just about anything.
That would have to be Chocolate Almond!
I have never tried this but I definitely will! Chocolate and mint or me.
I’d love to try it with a heaping tablespoon of Biscoff cookie butter.
I will take anything chocolate and peanut butter 😉
★★★★★
Another chocolate mint fan here!
I love chocolate and peanut butter. Wondering if a touch of PB2 mixed in would be nummy?
I love mint chocolate!! I would love to try this it sound delicious and would be a great birthday present! (9/21/80)
Chocolate and orange is a favorite of mine.
I’m going looking for this now!! Dark chocolate with Nuts and blueberries, chocolate and strawberry, chocolate and coffee bean, chocolate and banana, chocolate and pretzels, so many flavors…
★★★★★
Chocolate with sea salt or cayenne!
★★★★★
I have never even heard of this but I am on board now. I want to try the chocolate cinnamon.
I have never had Crio Bru. In fact, I had never even heard of it until I read about it on your blog. I really want some now! I love chocolate, but I don’t love cofee. I think I may buy some tonight!! Which flavor? I have no idea. How can you go wrong with chocolate!!??
Beckie, well I did go wrong with chocolate once as a kid when I ate a spoonful of cocoa powder…????. I would start with Ghana Light. The Peppermint is also a favorite (usually only a seasonal flavor) and Maya is amazing if you like a spicy kick.
Oh how I love Crio Bru!! I would love a caramel or orange flavored one.
Mint chocolate!
Dark chocolate and salted carmel … 🙂
I have never heard of Crio Bru until today, I’m new to your blog and I would certainly like to try Crio Bru! Chocolate flavors I love, are chocolate cherry or raspberry.
I love dark chocolate and orange!
chocolate and caramel! Can’t wait to try it!
Salted caramel sounds wonderful for this. I’ve never tried Crio Bru, but I just copied this recipe and am going to order some. Thank you!
I love Chocolate Orange
Chocolate Chili
and Chocolate Peanut Butter those are my top 3, I can’t pick just one.
My favorite flavors are chocolate, chocolate mint & chocolate caramel. Or any chocolate, lol.
Nothing new here, but man I love chocolate and peppermint. I am dying to try this stuff and would love to win!
This looks amazing! I love chocolate and peanut butter, chocolate and coffee, chocolate and mint. My list could keep going 🙂
This looks so good!! I have never heard of it, now I have to try it! My daughter would love a mocha chocolate coconut or mint hot. Chocolate strawberry would be great cold.
★★★★
I love chocolate and coffee
I am not a super chocolate person, nor do I drink coffee, but this looks amazing!!! I am thinking Crio Bru with mint, or chili peppers would be intriguing. Perhaps some cherries for a Black Forest treat. XOXO
I love chocolate/cherry combo! Never heard of this drink before but it sounds so yummy!!!
★★★★★
I must try this! My husband is a coffee connoisseur but I can’t stand the stuff. Crio Bru is something I would love. Mint with chocolate is a favorite of mine.
I love chocolate with orange!
Looks yummy ????
★★★★
Looks delicious! It’s gotta be chocolate and raspberry for me.
Chocolate and caramel are my favorites!
Chocolate & Caramel. My husband’s fave is chocolate & coconut.
How long can this stay refrigerated?
I can’t wait to try this and of course I am all about the pumpkin spice this time of year.
Chocolate and peanut butter!
Don’t mess around when it comes to chocolate. So STRAIGHT UP CHOCOLATE for me!
ooooooooH! i like chocolate and orange best <3
peppermint and chocolate, closely followed by caramel and chocolate!
Chocolate and mint are my favorite. I really like chocolate and chai together though.
Would probably love chocolate with caramel, chocolate makes everything taste better! Awaiting my sample packs so I can try this!!
★★★★★
I haven’t had the pleasure of trying Crío Bru just yet but that’s about to change because it sounds awesomely delicious! I bet chocolate caramel would be out of this world, as would be chocolate marshmallow smores!
Never heard of it, but willing to try anything to test recipes….
How can I choose 1 flavor combination? Chocolate and cinnamon, chocolate and peanut butter and chocolate and orange are probably my top favorites!!
Chocolate with coconut first, chocolate with raspberries second, chocolate with mint third, chocolate with caramel fourth, and chocolate with peanut butter fifth.
I love a bit of cinnamon in my hot chocolate.
I love choc and peanut butter, dark chocolate and almonds, chocolate and toffee, chocolate and coconut….maybe it would be easier to list what I don’t like with chocolate.
I’m thinking I need to give this a shot. I have a bag of Crio Bru and a French Press but I never use it because the French Press…
And my first flavor experiment will definitely be orange. Like those chocolate oranges at Christmas.
★★★★★
OHHH, I want to try Chocolate and MINT!!
I had never heard of this until you posted on the IP Community Page. I have been looking for a way to cut back on my caffeine and I may have just found it. I kind of like my chocolate as is. Maybe a touch of whipped cream 🙂
Chocolate with vanilla!
Love your beautiful photos! Maybe chocolate and salted caramel, or chocolate and cinnamon, or chocolate and mint……? So many possibilities:))
★★★★★
Hello-
Thank you for the opportunity. My favorite chocolate combination is with chocolate-cinnamon or chocolate-coffee (depending on the day).
Have a great day!
Butterscotch & chocolate!
I purchased the pumpkin flavored and made it following your recipe. I found the flavor very weak. I made it in the Instant pot. Next time I will add a cup less of water and hopefully I will find it more to my liking. Thanks.
Chocolate and peanut butter, chocolate and caramel, and chocolate and orange are my favorite combos. But really, chocolate goes with pretty much anything. Thanks for the chance to win! I’ve never had Crio Bru, but would love to try some.
Mexican Chocolate!
Oh Chocolate and hazelnut without a doubt! Please random chooser pick me! Pick me! I want to introduce my MOPS group to both the IP and this drink because what toddler mom doesn’t like chocolate?!
My favorite combo with chocolate is sea salt caramel! The buttery caramel with a touch of salt goes so well with milk and dark chocolate.
Having just had to give up coffee I am dying to try this! My favorite chocolate combo is chocolate and coconut – but chocolate and mint is a close second!
Have never tried Crio Bru but sounds heavenly! I think I’d add a little coconut oil or Raspberries for a yummy combination. Can’t wait to try.
I have never tried Crio Bru, but it sounds amazing! I love chocolate with coconut or vanilla. And I’m always looking for new things to make in my IP.
Chocolate and mint, chocolate and coconut, chocolate and chocolate… chocolate with coffee.. or tea….
★★★★★
Oh my! What does chocolate NOT go with? I love mint, almond and raspberry with chocolate. I’ll be trying Crio Bru soon! Thanks for the recipes!
I’ve never heard of this, but now I’m dying to give it a try! I love chocolate and coconut, but peanut butter, mint, and mocha are all pretty close behind coconut 🙂
I love Chou and raspberry. I’m really want to try this product.
I haven’t heard of Crio Bru until recently, and now am obsessed to try it. Chocolate by itself would be nice but adding some peppermint would be Christmas in the pot. Sounds yummy. I can’t wait to try it.
My favorite is chocolate and banana, with a little cinnamon!
Oh, how I love chocolate! How have I not heard of this before? I can’t wait to try it!
Thank you! I bought Crio Bru because I love love chocolate but have been clueless about actually brewing it! Gonna put it in the IP right now. As to your question/ contest: chocolate and hazelnut , chocolate and vanilla, or white chocolate combined with the Crio Bru. Hope I win!!!!!
Chocolate and peanut butter….yum! I’d love to try this!
I like chocolate everything. Surprised I have never heard of this before.
Chocolate and raspberries…!
My favorite chai flavor is star anise. I also love anise seed and fennel. I’ve always loved black licorice (but not licorice root – yuck). Pomegranate is also a current favorite – pomegranate ice cream bars coated with dark chocolate are to die for. I’m going to need to make our own non-dairy version.
★★★★★
I want to try it with fresh ground coffee!
Chocolate and salted caramel, chocolate and malt, chocolate and mint, chocolate and raspberry, chocolate and orange, really just anything chocolate! 🙂
I keep hearing about this stuff and can’t wait to try it!! I love chocolate! Like obsessed with good chocolate! Chocolate and PB or almond and chocolate and strawberries are some of my Favs! Thanks for this recipe!
Marci! I’ve ordered and am getting everything to do yogurt this week!!! Crío Bru is NEXT on the list!! Before I changed my eating habits I LOVED those round chocolate balls that you smacked and they broke into slices. (It’s been so long I don’t remember the name) Anyway! My fav was the orange and chocolate one. That would be my suggestion for a flavor of Crío Bru. ????????????????????????????????????????????
I’ve seriously never met a chocolate combo I didn’t like! But, my all time favorite is amaretto and chocolate! As a non alcohol drinker I usually just settle for almond extract. But, it just occurred to me that I could but an amaretto syrup!
My favorite flavor is peppermint with dark chocolate.. I like to add candy canes too!
This is an awesome post! Chocolate and peppermint or just about any favor combination.
Anything chocolate and cinnamon are my favorite combination. I have never heard of Crio bru before but would love to get started with it. I’m NOT a coffee drinker, but trying to eat healthy AND have chocolate sounds amazing!!
Have never tried it but I love simple dark chocolate so I’m intrigued..I’d love to try it!
So many possibilities. Chocolate and Orange for Fall. Peppermint for the Holidays. and, a bit of Tia Maria by the fire on a snowy night!
OMG! How did I get to be this age and not know about Criollo Bru? I’m on a mission to learn more and try this. Thank you!
★★★★★
The best chocolate combination besides more chocolate is salted caramel or even just sea salt to break up a bit of the sweetness. Yum, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Oh the choc options
Choc and coconut
Choc and orange
Choc and mint
My favorite is chocolate and mint.
I would love to try crio bru. I th No chocolate hazelnut is probaly my favorite flavor combo.
I’ve never heard of this but would love to try it! White choc caramel or nutella! Yum!
I love chocolate and orange. I also love Crio Bru, but have not tried it in my Instapot and now I’m so excited to do so! I wonder how orange peel would be, since you’d strain it out at the end? Or just orange extract.
Chocolate and Cayenne
Chocolate and Amaretto
Chocolate and Orange
Love chocolate . Period. Love chocolate and almonds or childcare with pretty much any nut. Love chocolate and cinnamon.
*I LOVE SMORES. So you should figure out how to make that flavor so that I can have my summer love all year long!*
I’ve never had crio bru and was actually looking for it at the grocery store last night because of how much you guys rave bout it but I couldn’t find it. Where do you get it?
Had never heard of crio-bru until I saw about it on the Instant Pot page. But I am definitely gong to get some and try it. Love anything chocolate
It’s not original, but chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite. I also love spices like cardamom.
Oh, yes please… Hazelnut and chocolate go sooooo good together! I love this giveaway, please make my day and send some Crio Bru my way! (this totally rhymes)
Chocolate Raspberry
Sounds wonderful! My favorite combination is chocolate and vanilla.
Oh my, that sounds too good to be true! Chocolate and caramel would be my combo. Yum! Another thing to add to my wish list! My birthday can’t get here soon enough! 🙂
Cute picture of your girl! Love it.
Cecilia
I cannot wait to try this in my Instant Pot. Right now I’m loving chocolate and raspberry together, but chocolate and peanut butter is pretty magical too.
Seconding (thirding, fifthing, tenthing? I didn’t read all the comments) Chocolate and orange together, always reminds me of Christmas, perhaps with a touch of cloves like a Christmas pomander ball. Mmmmm!
I’ve never heard of this product, so I am anxious to try it. I love hot chocolate with a peppermint flavor.
Fall is my favorite time of the year for all things Pumpkin! I’d love a PUMPKIN flavor to go with this????
I love Crio Bru! I’m making some today!
Chocolate and PB or Chocolate and Orange are my faves!
Yum! I love chocolate and caramel!
I like dark chocolate, peppermint and spearmint with a touch of cinnamon and citrus.
Chocolate n orange is divine! I make orange creme truffles around Christmastime covered in chocolate, they are my most popular truffle flavor!!I’m intrigued with the insta pot n it’s on my list for Christmas…
I love chocolate and orange together. There’s just something about the brightness of the orange combined with the richness of chocolate!
Oh my goodness, chocolate and salted caramel, chocolate and peanut butter, chocolate and mint… I could wax poetic all day about chocolate pairings! I love them all. Thank you for doing a giveaway. I’m so excited to try Crio Bru, especially now that I’m finally brave enough to use my Instant Pot, thanks to your recipes and guidance.
Oh my gosh!! This looks delicious! Probably a lot less calories than the chocolate wine I sometimes have! Who can resist the combination of chocolate and peanut butter??
I’m usually a pure chocolate girl, especially in beverage form :), but I do think caramel would be yummy. I wonder how a chai version would work?
Chocolate and toffee!
I love chocolate and caramel with a hint of sea salt.
When it’s cold out I love Chocolate with mint. It just calms me right down.
Have never heard of this. Would love to try it! Just chocolate would be my 1st choice but chocolate/mint would be my next.
Crio Bru is new to me, but I am now eager to try it. My favorite combination would be chocolate and raspberry.
My MIL gave me some Crio Bru. Heavenly stuff! Like it with sugar free salted caramel coffee flavoring. And heavy cream because why not!
I need to try this! Sounds heavenly ❤️ I recently found peanut butter powder so I would definitely add that and maybe chai or espresso!
Hot chocolate made with coconut milk.
I like putting a used vanilla bean and a cinnamon stick in to steep with my crio bru. I am excited to try the pressure cooker method.
Chocolate and peanut butter!
I love raspberry and chocolate together !!!!!
Red wine!!! Oh wait–did you mean with Crio Bru or just chocolate? Well, either way… 😉
My favorite chocolate pairings are peanut butter, orange and mint. But I bet Crio Bru with a small bit of Nutella stirred in would be quite yummy as well! I like mine personally with a couple drops of peppermint essential oil and a bit of milk. MMMmmmmmm!!!! I had not heard of it before your downloadable recipe book, so thank you for introducing me. After this post I may have to try some new ideas! Can’t wait, especially with Fall coming.
Yum yum! So many great ideas. I like dark chocolate, bing cherry, and almond extract.
Ive never even heard of this before! I must try it. My favorite chocolate combinations are chocolate/almonds & chocolate/caramel 🙂
This sounds amazing, I can’t wait to try some. I love simple chocolate but there is something amazing about a chocolate butterscotch combination. I adore a bit of butterscotch schnapps stitred into hot chocolate… I bet this would be even better!
Chocolate with fruit flavors is at the top of my list, especially chocolate with raspberry and chocolate with orange. Mmmmmm. Oh, and win or lose, you’ve convinced me that Crio Bru is something I must try!
Hands down my favorite chocolate flavor combination is chocolate and peppermint with cream. Yum!!
My sister has been telling me about This for awhile now. I think it’s time to give it a try!
I’ve only recently heard of crio bru but now I can’t wait to try it especially since I also recently bought an Instant Pot! And I love chocolate and caramel!
Chocolate and caramel! I am so intrigued by this- I love chocolate but it doesn’t always love me! Same with coffee. Caffeine makes my heart go wonky! Would love to try an alternative and see how it effects me!
I made your recipe in the instant pot…..yummy without sweetner. Then I tried a little cream, cardamom and a bit of Stevia……more yum!!!
Thanks for the IP recipe. Can it also be made in a regular drip coffee maker? I dont have a Frech press.
My favorite chocolate flavor is with a hint of hazelnut.
I love chocolate with pb or cinnamon.
Chocolate and hazelnut
I love chocolate and raspberries together!!
I cant wait to try this.
What about with a hint of lavendar?
Sounds crazy, just might be awesome though! I’ve got some dried lavender, I may give it a go.
Chocolate and almond….
Honey and orange!
Chocolate and cinnamon are my favorite but I bet you could make an awesome chocolate chai with this! That would be great hot or iced! ????
I love chocolate and orange together. I’ve never heard of Crio Bru, but I can’t wait to try it!
Chocolate and raspberry or vanilla. Sounds really good!
I absolutely live crio bru I’ve been drinking it for years!!! I have it every morning and night with some coffee creamer, I just switch up creamer flavors. I’m super excited to try the IP. I’d love some free Crio as I’m practically going broke with my habit????
Get out! I can’t wait to try Crio Bru in my Instant Pot! I would add a touch of peppermint.
I love mint, peanut butter, cinnamon, Chipotle! There isn’t just one way!
Hazelnut Chocolate…outstanding!
Straight chocolate, the darker the better, for me! However, if you absolutely had to add something to it, coffee, almond, or peanut butter are good choices.
My go-to mix is French Vanilla sugar-free, Coffee Mate non-dairy creamer in cocoa or milk.
My grandkids refer to it as “Yummy milk.” You don’t need much to improve the flavor of so many things. I specify that brand because the vanilla is MUCH better than so many others and it only takes a little.
I’m so excited to try your Instant Pot “Bru.” Thanks for the enlightening possibilities!
I love chocolate cherry and adding cinnamon or nutmeg to anything makes it better
I usually add Coconut Creme creamer and a touch of chipotle chili powder to my Ghana French Roast Crio Bru. *love,love,love*
I love chocolate with coffee. I tell my husband I’m making coffee…but it’s really chocolate flavored with coffee!
I LOVE chocolate and a touch of chipotle! It’s soooooooo yummy!
Never heard of this. I have a Instant Pot and my daughter loves hot chocolate. How about some gojiberries to give a little sweet?
Ping, That’s a great idea. I’ve infused it with dates before and blended it down. That works well too.
Hi Marci! I’ve been enjoying Crio Bru for a few years now, and am really thrilled to have found your instant pot method. After three broken french presses over the years, I’m happily enjoying my much richer and creamier version in my IP thanks to you! All the recipes I’ve tried from you have been a huge hit actually, and I hope you continue to enjoy the success you deserve with your site and your book, which I’m hoping to get a hard copy of soon. As for combinations, I love chocolate with salt, or cayenne, or macadamia nut. I’m a sucker for the rich sweet/savory combo. Thanks 🙂
Sarah, Your comment made my day, thank you!
This sounds delicious. I love all chocolate, but my current obsession is blueberries and chocolate!
Is there a reason you don’t put the grounds in some sort of device? A nut milk bag, tea strainer, or cheese cloth so you don’t have to strain it?
★★★★★
Angela, I’ve tried putting them in a fine mesh strainer, but they of course wouldn’t stay put. The cheese cloth sounds like an awesome idea. I think I’ll give it a try. Thank you!
I’d love to try this with any good Chai Tea recipe, replacing the tea with Crio Bru! Sounds yummy!
My first choice as a favorite would be orange chocolate or raspberry chocolate. Yum!
I love chocolate and cherry. And white chocolate. Yum ???? Wonder if this could have a white chocolate flavor?
★★★★★
I am all about Mexican hot chocolate. Which means cinnamon and cayenne, baby! Another favorite is nutmeg – I add it to my cold brew or French press. I’ve got to dig up some Crio Bru for my DF teen. It would make him so happy!
sounds delish! I would ❤️❤️to try it w hazlenut or cinnamon!!
Chocolate and caramel or hazelnut.
I cannot believe I haven’t heard if this before. I am currently working on my first round of Whole30 and missing coffee a bit. This could be a good sub. I am thinking that chocolate mint would be lovely as fall deepens.
Ginger with sea salt
Thanks for the great idea!
OMG!! This sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try. the varieties would be endless- cinnamon, peppermint, vanilla, coconut………
★★★★★
I love chocolate with coconut and almond
My favorite chocolate combo is the classic chocolate-mint. A close second is a warm and soothing chocolate-almond flavor. I could go for either of those right now…
Crio Bru sounds fascinating. Chocolate and Toasted Marshmallow, is decadent, especially with a sprinkle of cinnamon. This could replaced a morning coffee break.
Just plain chocolate for me.
Chocolate raspberry would be amazing! But I also love chocolate peppermint.
Chocolate and raspberry
Can’t wait to try this! My favorite combo is crio bro, a splash of coconut milk, coconut oil, and collagen powder.
★★★★★
I have pumpkin spice, ghana and peppermint and I’m working on acquiring a taste for 🙂 I need to fix it in my Instant Pot – maybe that would make a difference ! Can’t wait to try it.
I have never tried this but look forward to doing so! I would like to try it with almond flavor!
I would love to try this with almond flavor!
This looks amazing, and I’ve heard of Crio Bru, but never in a pressure cooker! I must try it!
I love orange and hazelnut with chocolate. I also wonder if you could do salted caramel somehow. How divine would that be?!
I love chocolate and Peppermint.
My fave chocolate flavor combo is chocolate and hazelnut. MMMMM!
This sounds AMAZING. As an LDS convert who low-key misses having a brewed hot drink every morning, I need this in my life. Chocolate and cayenne are my favorite together. ❤️❤️❤️
★★★★★
My husband and I LOVE Crio Bru! And this is by far his favorite flavor. We have always made it in our French press and have found the longer we let it brew the better the flavor. Needless to say, we are constrantly finding ourselves waiting way longer than we want to to enjoy our favorite drink together. I had never thought about porting it in my Insta-pot!!! I think you just changed our lives!!
As for one of my favorite pairings (I love vcocolate with everything) in my crio when I’m feeling fancy, or need something to soothe my tummy, I’ll put a couple drops of peppermint essential oil into my cup before pouring in the crio. It’s so good! And I’ve found with the peppermint it has a natural sweetness and often doesn’t need (as much) sweetener. Try it!
I love chocolate and cinnamon.
I would love to try Chocolate-Rooibos!
I just started a sugar free lifestyle and this sounds like it would be perfect. I buy unsweetened vanilla almond milk already. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite combo is chocolate + caramel + cinnamon ????
My fave chocolate flavor combo would be dark chocolate mint. This sounds intriguing! !
I also like cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne. But chocolate & coffee or chocolate & peppermint or chocolate & peanut butter. YUM!
YES. Peanut butter with whipped cream on top!
Chocolate hazelnut is one of my faves!
Chocolate and peanut butter, chocolate and coconut. Pretty much anything with chocolate, and I’ll be there!
Mint and chocolate sounds good…need to try this!
I have never heard of this!!’ Now I want to try it, especially because it is caffeine-free! Chocolate at night?!! Yes, please!! I would say salted caramel or pecan…
It all sounds really good. I’d like to try a chocolate and orange cup.
Chocolate and cinnamon would be my preference.
I have never heard of this, but it sounds fabulous! I love chocolate with peanut butter, almonds, pumpkin spice, cinnamon. I just love chocolate! 😀
Chocolate and raspberry
Chocolate and coconut
Chocolate with hint of orange
Two of my favorite things to combine with chocolate are orange or cherry. I have seen ads for Crio Bru online but have yet to try it because it’s a bit expensive. If I love it I wouldn’t mind paying for it but my pantry is filled with things I’ve tried that just don’t cut it. The passion you write about it with has me even more intrigued! I have been looking for something to satisfy cravings for chocolate to help me lose some weight and get healthier. Could Crio Bru be my solution? I’d love to find out!

Cinnamon and chocolate are lovely together!
Thank you for bringing this wonderful goodness into my life. Crio Bru is my go to morning drink and I’m enjoying my IP even more than before.
French silk flavor with chocolate and brandy, or butter Rum flavors would be amazing!
★★★★★
In my book, chocolate pairs beautifully with so many things. Peanut butter, cherry, toffee, caramel. Just can’t go wrong when you start with chocolate.
Oh my, the possibilities! I’ve been wanting to try Crio Brew for awhile now and think that seeing the FB post that led me to your page must a sign to stop procrastinating and order some NOW!
All kidding aside, I am the epitome of a chocoholic, especially dark chocolate, and if it contains nuts (hazelnuts, almonds macadamias, etc., etc.) or if it’s complemented by raspberry, blood orange, or Mexican chilis, then COUNT ME IN!
I think any of these suggestions would make awesome flavor combos. Thanks for the post. BTW, the pic of your little one is adorable!
Chocolate and toffee!
Chocolate and caramel
I love chocolate with peppermint or with a nutty flavor. I would love to try this. It sounds delicious!
Chocolate with mint, peanut butter, or vanilla are my favorites!
I would love chocolate, with a touch or Cayanne pepper! Sounds yummy!
I love Crio Bru! I wonder how chocolate and orange or chocolate and raspberry would be. I love chocolate anything!!????
Chocolate with chili!
Chocolate with macadamia nuts!! Who doesn’t love a little Nutella – such a delish combo!!! 🙂
OOPS…hazelnuts for the Nutella flavor BUT would be REALLY good with macadamia nuts too! 😉
chocolate is great with anything – but peanut butter is the best
Chocolate and mint is my favorite combo with chocolate and peanut butter a very close second.
I literally just ordered a french press yesterday to try out Crio Bru for the first time! Gaahhh…I had no idea my Instant Pot would work! I am so excited to try this stuff as I am a hot chocolate LOVER and need something healtheir and better for my family. I love chocolate with orange, almond, mint, and caramel. I haven’t tried these but I have heard of pairing it with lavender, coconut, hazlenut, and ginger as well. Mmmmmm….
Chocolate and sea salt. Think salted caramel.
Oh wow! This looks great! I’m going to have to add some to my shopping cart! I personally think that the flavor combinations of chocolate and cherry, chocolate and caramel (or salted caramel), chocolate and raspberry or chocolate and red chili would all be amazing.
I o chocolate with hazelnuts. I’ll bet that’d be yummy!
Oops LOVE ????
I absolutely LOVE cherry and chocolate!
My favorite flavors with chocolate are vanilla and cayenne
This looks amazin! Would love to try some!
I think of chocolate and… caramel, peppermint,
and Bailey’s Irish Cream… yum, yum.
Not all together!
This is really intriguing to me! I can’t wait to try it!
My favorite chocolate combos are
Caramel and chocolate
Pomegranate and chocolate
Blueberry and chocolate
Marshmallow and chocolate
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe. Thankyou!
My absolute favorite combination is sea salted caramel with dark chocolate. The sugar from the caramel brings the bitterness down and creates the perfect (for me) dark chocolate taste. I like mine between 75%-80% dark.
This looks amazing! I am fairly new to both Crio Bru and Instant Pot, so being introduced to a new way of using both is a dream! Thank you!
I’m thinking a good flavor meld would be Crio Bru Chocolate/Hazelnut/Banana! When I used to eat Nutella (maybe I sometimes still do?), I’d love to eat it with a fresh banana! It’s an ideal combo!
Chocolate + Chai with a hint of vanilla.
Chocolate and Orange! I think that would be an amazing combination here!
★★★★★
Chocolate and chili spice. Smooth with a little kick at the end.
Plain chocolate is the best. Chocolate/raspberry and chocolate/Chipotle run a close second and third.
Chocolate and orange…
I love chocolate & peanut butter, dk choc & coconut, choc with marshmallow & cashews, chocolate & mint, white chocolate and raspberry, wait, only one? Chocolate with chocolate.
Chocolate with almonds or with coffee or with mint or with coconut!
Anything with chocolate. Mint. Peanut butter. Salted caramel. Mmmm
Love crio!!! Can’t wait to try it in the Insta pot!!! I love vanilla and pumpkin flavors, with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top!
I love salted caramel hot chocolate. Think that would work?
Chocolate and COCONUT! I want to try making with coconut milk, maybe top with a little toasted coconut.
Chocolate & sea salt and chocolate & coconut are my favs right now!
★★★★★
I love Crio Brü and a touch of pumpkin spice! Yum!
My favorite is chocolate and peppermint.
I have become “addicted” to Crio Bru this summer. My favorite way to drink it is over ice with coconut milk and maple syrup. I’ve tried mixing the Ghana and Maya roasts, and this last time I added just a little ground coffee to the mix. One of my favorite chocolate/something combinations is chocolate/cherries. I’m not sure how this would be in a Crio Bru roast, but it’s always a good combo, as is chocolate/ginger.
You probably got suggestions for my fave combos like chocolate & coffee, or chocolate & cayenne/chili… I’m not sure if this would work in a drink, or if anyone suggested it, but what about chocolate and bacon??
Chocolate mint never gets old!
This sounds amazing as well as being a healthy alternative to coffee. I live almond or coconut with chocolate. Five spice also gives chocolate drinks or smoothies and added dimension of flavor.
I have to say my favorite flavor with chocolate is almond or caramel. But I love putting peppermint schnapps in my hot cocoa in the winter 🙂
★★★★
Yummy! I love love love crio bru!! My fave is still chocolate and peppermint! I will have to try the Cinnamon and chocolate now that I have my new Cinnamon extract!!
I ordered five bags of Crio Bru from Amazon after one of your posts about this marvelous beverage! I’ve been making it in my French Press but will try the pressure cooker method. I made it with our favorite French Roast ground coffee beans for breakfast yesterday-a lovely beverage on this nearly-autumn morning! Since raspberries are my favorite chocolate pairing, I’m wondering about adding fresh raspberries to the pressure cooker and straining them out along with the Crio Bru grounds when ready!
Also, I notice on Amazon there is a Light Roast variety and a French Roast variety. You prefer the Light Roast? What is the difference? I’m planning to order some ASAP! 🙂
I prefer the Light Roast, the French Roast was a bit strong for me, but my sister Cami loves that one. If you’re a coffee drinker, I think you’ll love the flavor of the French Roast. You really can’t go wrong!
This particularly intrigues me as I am not supposed to have caffeine..but love chocolate! The best comco cookies I’ve ever had was white chocolate and macadamia nut..wonder if that would work? Or salted caramel 🙂
I would love to try this! I had never heard of it before I started reading your blog. I hope I win! My favorite chocolate flavor combination is Chocolate & Peppermint. I wait for Trader Joe’s to get their Peppermint Hot Cocoa, and Peppermint Joe Joe’s in every year, and then I stock up.
Chocolate & Cinnamon is also really good. I add cinnamon whenever I make Texas Sheet Cake, and it adds a great depth of flavor.
I drink hot chocolate year round and my favorite way is super dark with cinnamon and cayenne pepper! I’ve heard of Crio Bru and thought I would probably love it, but was deterred from trying it because I don’t have a french press. And lo and behold, I found your blog and your recipe for the Instant Pot–which I have! Yay! I’m so excited to try Crio Bru now! Thank you for sharing!
I bought a sample pack of Crio Bru after reading your earlier posts. I’ve only tried it in the french press but will definitely have to try it in my Instant Pot. I drank it plan (no creamer or sweetener) but loved how choclately it smelled.
I’m an almond Joy junkie. Give me chocolate and coconut. Yum! Coconut extract and coconut milk. Heaven.
I love to dip pineapple ???? in chocolate!! Wonder how I could try to flavor the crio bru with pineapple?? Also, ❤️ love crio bru and bought the 3 qt IP so I can set it and have it ready for me in the morning. So excited!!
Chocolate and raspberries! My all-time favorite combination! I can’t wait to try this…
I love both chocolate and vanilla with raspberry, mint, peanut butter. Good luck to everyone !!
Crio Bru is my favorite!!! I always made mine in a french press, but I’m going to have to try this for sure. I’m ready for my world to be rocked!!!!
What about chocolate and orange?!?!
All the other responses sound delicious too!
I just love chocolate anything! I think caramel, amaretto, or spicy would be my flavor choices to try.
Hi! I found your recipe on the instant Pot community. Now I am so intrigued to try this drink! I love coffeee but would like an alternative from time to time. What better than with chocolate? My fave flavors are dulce de leche or even tres leches! Would love to see that in a recipe! Thx for the chance.
I never knew what crio Bru was until I saw your recipes all the time! I finally decided I have to try this if she is bragging it up so much! My first bag came in the mail yesterday! So this weekend when it’s high 80s here I’m going to try it. Why couldn’t it come when it was 50 degrees here! I love a good hot cocoa mixed with a little French vanilla creamer. Chocolate with mint, chocolate with peanut butter! I can’t just have chocolate sorry. Needs some better flavor! Or hazelnut! So many options I’ll be following you whole your create the next thing I can drool over until I finally decided to make it!

I absolutely love crio! I love pb and chocolate, raspberry and chocolate, pumpkin and chocolate
Chocolate coconut anything!!
★★★★★
This sounds amazing!! My favorite combo is chocolate and pumpkin!!
Hi Marci! Stumbled upon your giveaway on the Crio Bru insta. You have some awesome things going on here!! Congrats on your cook book! I am obsessed with Crio Bru, and I love a chocolate and coconut combo in the summer, and chocolate and peppermint in the winter 🙂
I love crio bru and drink it every single day!! I keep them in business:) I love chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate with something salty! I’d love to try crio bru with a toasted coconut flavor!!! Whip cream to top it off!
came across this magic a couple years ago, but used my french press. Never considered using the IP, I bet that would bring our a much deeper flavor. Choc and almond is good, I might consider using some Vanilla Bean Paste with my first try though—that stuff is wonderful in anything I put it in
Toffee or salted caramel and mint
I love Mexican hot chocolate, so chili powder or cayenne pepper would be perfect! Thanks for the chance!
This looks so delicious! I can’t wait to try it! I love chocolate and orange together!
★★★★★
My favorite chocolate combo is chocolate and raspberries! I LOVE Crio Bru, it’s amazing!
I love chocolate and mint!!!
Yay! I am always looking for new ways to have my bru! I will have to try this method. New flavor combos – I love chocolate & Carmel. Or maybe toasted marshmallow! That would be yummy!
Chocolate is always great with coconut or almonds. And cinnamon!
This is going to be an amazing experiment. I can’t even settle one one favorite. Hazelnut or almond are up there on the list but often find myself being a plain Jane. No offense to anyone named Jane! What do the kids like?
Shana, My kids like cinnamon, Mint, and orange versions. They weren’t very happy with my cayenne version (but that’s my fav!)
I had never heard of this before your blog, now I HAVE to have some! I love chocolate and raspberry together.
I love chocolate. The more the better. I like macadamia and coconut combo with chocolate. I also like red velvet with any sort of combo. (Coconut, macadamia). Cherry and vanilla cream, blueberry and vanilla cream. Love flavored whip cream or just plain. Just think all chocolate should have whip cream on it.????????????. And the peanut butter post absoultly
Love your article, I’m excited to try this in my InstaPot! I’m a huge hazelnut fan. Anytime I stop at a chocolate shop I look for hazelnut chocolates. I don’t usually drink coffee, but on a rare occasion, it’s a hazelnut latte for me. So of course, I’m going for for a hazelnut flavored chocolate drink!
Oh Chocolate and hazelnut without a doubt! Please random chooser pick me! Pick me! I want to introduce my MOPS group to both the IP and this drink because what toddler mom doesn’t like chocolate?!
Chocolate raspberry is my favorite combo. I need to try this. Thanks!
Chocolate-Orange is my ultimate favorite. But chocolate cherry, chocolate strawberry, chocolate all things!!
SO interested! I have never heard of this before! Might be the answer to some issues in our home! Sugar free Chocolate!
I must try this!!!
Peppermint!
Love chocolate and caramel, or chocolate by itself, or chocolate and toffee!
My favorite is chocolate and mint! Mmmmm!!!
This looks amazing! I bet it would be great with a dash of peppermint.
Chocolate and peanut butter! Can’t wait to try this! Looks yummy!! Thanks for sharing!
This looks so good! I’m a sucker for chocolate peppermint cocoa. I’d make this and add my homemade peppermint marshmallows. I do love chocolate peanut butter too, so maybe something g frozen in in the ice cream maker for that. My wheels are spinning now. ????
I love all things chocolate and caramel. Sometimes for a change I like chocolate with raspberry. Since I don’t drink coffee, I’m going to have to check this out. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely peppermint !
I make a buttered tea in the mornings. Wonder about a buttered chocolate? Love chocolate and peanut butter.
Chocolate and hazelnut is my favorite!
I’m a bit addicted to chocolate and Chipotle. Just the perfect marriage of flavor!
Oh my!!! I am not a coffee drinker, and I love chocolate! I think I need this! Chocolate mint, chocolate caramel, chocolate peanut butter, just plain chocolate! My dad is allergic to chocolate, horrors I know, so growing up we didn’t have chocolate a lot. I think that fueled my love affair with it.
Peanut Butter Chocolate, Yum! I used to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge so delicious. Thank! So glad I just found your page! 🙂
I think a coconut flavor would be wonderful
My favorite so far is the peppermint crio bru, but I also really love chocolate and peanut butter too. Quite honestly, I am a crui bru junkie and enjoy all of the flavors–plain and flavored. I would suggested a chocolate mint to another alternative too!
★★★★★
I love anything chocolate.. chocolate and PB or chocolate and caramel are delish!
Love this article, and love that I stumbled across your site via the InstaPot group on FB. I love Vanilla and Chocolate, Chocolate and Almond, and Raspberry and Chocolate!
This sounds amazing. I just got my instant pot and am surprised at how versatile it is. I would never have thought to brew up a yummy chocolate drink in it. My favorite chocolate combo is chocolate with sea salt and caramel.
All right, I’m intrigued. That looks super tasty AND looks like I could easily make it allergy friendly!
My favorite combination is chocolate and peanut butter but heck anything with chocolate is alright in my book!
Love chocolate and always have. Chocolate and almond, chocolate caramel, and chocolate and orange are fabulous. But chocolate makes any thing better!
Maybe salted caramel?! I’ve heard a lot about this stuff but haven’t ever tried. I think it’s time for that to change!
I just tried the peppermint Crio Bru! Thank you for introducing me to it! I love 1) chocolate and orange flavor 2) carmel and chocolate and 3) chocolate and peppermint!
Looks amazing! I’d have to go with chocolate and caramel. Yum
I don’t know if it’s possible with this recipe, but my favorite chocolate combo has always been with strawberries or raspberries ❤️
I love mocha, so how about a little coffee flavoring or a shot of expresso!
Just chocolate is the best! Second is chocolate and peanut butter.
Chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate and mint- yummy!!
I have always wanted to try this stuff! My favorite chocolate combinations are with sea salt (the darker the chocolate, the better, in my book) or with cranberry!
★★★★
I love chocolate and peanut butter!
I love chocolate and almond flavor!
My add in would have to be luscious caramel!
★★★★
This stuff is amazing! I can’t wait to try it made in the instant pot. I’m sure it will have a much stronger flavor. I never thought of trying it cold. I love chocolate with peanut butter.
Anything chocolate is my favorite and this looks amazing! Even my husband who loves hot chocolate I am sure will love this recipe!
This sounds wonderful!! And healthy with a chance of some weight loss, what could be better?! Chocolate with strawberry sounds really good! Thanks for telling us of this product.
Anything chocolate is loved!
I love Chocolate with Vanilla or Chocolate with Peanut Butter!
What a cute picture of that sweet girl! I know you have already done it, but I can’t get over chocolate and peppermint. Have you ever done like a chili pepper crio Bru like those Mexican chocolate bars? Maybe that would be gross…. But just a thought?
Maegan, My favorite combo right now is actually cinnamon and cayenne, it’s sooooo good!
I love anything chocolate, maybe an orange/chocolate combination ????
I have never heard of this, so exciting. Chocolate covered cherries!!
Mmmm looks great! I love chocolate and peanut butter. Wonder how that would work with this!
