There's starch in cacao powder?

I'm not sure. Chocolate doesn't seem irritating to me, yet it does have fiber and starch (?).

I'll try one of them, thanks.

What do you filter it with? I'm wary of filters because I'm afraid the metals are of a toxic sort, rather than stainless steel.

You’re welcome, @Kayaker. :)

Yep, cocoa powder contains starch. Along with unbleached paper coffee filters, I use this cold brew bag:

I see. I thought it would be filtered through a metal mesh, rather than paper filters.
