How to make Brewing Cacao

How to Brew Cacao in a Press Pot

Our brewing cacao arrives ground and ready to brew. A press pot (French press) is our recommended method.

What you need

  • Our ground brewing cacao
  • A press pot or French press
  • Hot water
  • A mug and a timer

Steps

  1. Add about 2 somewhat rounded tablespoons of cacao per mug to the press pot.
  2. Add hot water.
  3. Steep for 10 minutes.
  4. Give the grounds a gentle stir.
  5. Press slowly and pour.

Adjust the amount of cacao to taste. Add milk, sweetener or spices if you like.

Brew a second cup

Like tea, the cacao grounds can be re-infused a second time.

Watch the method

Marcus demonstrates the French-press method in our brewing cacao videos, along with a V60 pour-over version and a few add-ins to explore flavor.
