Brewing our cocoa beans

  • cobea comes pre-ground, as light roasted cocoa beans ground to a medium to medium coarse grind size.
  • brew guides. cobea brews very much like coffee, but not quite the same. novice at brewing cocoa beans, check our brew guides to explore the best experiences. 
  • we very much advocate for a single pour brew at 85°C using a cone shaped paper filter.
    for this we love using the Hario MUGEN + Cafec paper filter combo. (check our shop)
  • but cobea offers versatility for many brew styles . v60 or flat bottom pour over . french press . moka pot . aeropress . cold & batch brew 

Nutritional benefits

caffeine. cobea contains about 1/8 to 1/10 of the levels of caffeine compared to the same volume of filter coffee . as a result it can be enjoyed round the clock without caffeine-jitters.

theobromine. a cup of 150ml cobea contains 50mg of theobromine . a gentler, more steady and long lasting source of energy.

polyphenols. the same cup of 150ml contains 90mg of polyphenols, known for their contribution to maintain the elasticity of blood vessels & optimum blood flow . a daily dosis of 200mg is considered having immediate positive health effects .
so you only need 2.22 cups of cobea to hit that mark.

no waste. after brewing you can reuse the cocoa grounds for baking, scooping into your (plant-based) yoghurt or granola, etc . it just keeps giving. 

calorie-free. the high cocoa butter content of our light roasted ground cocoa (55-58%) delivers a unique, complex taste & aroma to our brew . but by using a paper filter, our brew is considered completely fat- & sugar free with only 1.7 kcal/100ml.
