How to Brew Choffy in a Keurig Single-Cup System

I've felt guilty about my quest to give up my coffee habit for one reason: the beautiful, rather expensive appliance on my counter that was a kind gift from my husband...the Keurig! After enjoying its convenience myself, we also gave Keurigs to our coffee-drinking parents.

But my guilt is gone! There is no reason to regain that counter space; the Keurig stays. Choffy can be brewed via Keurig (or a comparable one-cup brewer) too. All you need is a reusable filter (which essentially allows you to design-your-own "K-cup"). I found mine at Target but there is one for a few dollars less on Amazon.com (see below).

The exact amount of Choffy you add to the reusable filter depends on how strong you like your brewed chocolate and which kind of Keurig you have. All Keurig systems have a 7-1/4 oz. cup size (on the Keurig B60, which is the model I have with 3 cup choices, 7-1/4 oz. is the middle button). Since that is slightly more than the recommended 2 Tbsp. of Choffy per 6 oz. of water ratio, you may want to add a bit more ground Choffy to the filter (2 Tbsp. doesn't leave much room; you may need to tamp down the grounds a bit to fit more).

It really is simple! Experiment a little and you will find that you can make a great cup of brewed chocolate goodness using your convenient single-cup system.







I think I need a disclaimer here to tell you that I stand to benefit financially if you purchase the products I've recommended here. You can too - email me (getcacaonow@gmail.com) and I'll fill you in on all the details!
