Can you tell me more about this? How much nibs (tsp, tbsp, etc) do you put into a normal pot? How does the flavor profile of the coffee change? I roast my own beans so I imagine this would add a more ...
I make a full 12 cups of coffee using 3/4 cup coffee beans and 1 scant tablespoon of BB's cacao nibs. I don't want to use too much cacao because there is a possibility the cocoa butter in the nibs can plug up the filter and that would make a big mess.
I grind them together (I go for a finer grind) and use a Mr. Coffee basket style coffee maker.
I find the cacao mutes the harsher, bitter side of regular coffee and imparts a chocolate aftertaste but it's subtle and not at all overpowering.
Today I added 1/4 teaspoon of ground New Mexico red chili and that puts a tactile feeling of "bristle" on the back and sides if the tongue.
