 NOT BAD, BUT THERE'S BETTER November 27, 2008
We've used this product for several months but recently discovered a superior product- it's Tully's Bellaccino Hot Cocoa, which has a much richer cocoa flavor.
 This one was a miss! November 24, 2008
I like the convenience and quality of the k-cups and thought the hot chocolate would be as good as the coffee and tea. The problem is the chocolate is a fine powder so it remains in the container instead of dissolving and flowing into the mug. It is better to run a mug of hot water from your Keurig and then stir in your favorite packet of hot chocolate mix.
Watery because it doesn't work November 24, 2008
The other reviewers who stated it's watery is because the machine does not get all the cocoa out of the k-cup. It is actually DELICIOUS hot cocoa. To get it to "work" right, you have to either just cut open the k-cup and dump it into your mug, then let the machine put water in your mug. OR Run it through the machine, then cut the k-cup open and scrape the rest of the powder out and stir it into your cup.
Either way, don't use the largest cup setting as this will dilute it too much...medium is fine, small is richest. This IS actually REALLY delicious hot cocoa! but would be better in envelopes to avoid the k-cup plastic waste, since the k-cup cocoa mix does not get completely "used up" in the machine anyway.
 Good for its purpose October 28, 2008
Yes, its not the small town diners creamy thick hot chocolate, but if you want a quick, low cal (60 cal) cup of hot chocolate that tastes good, i recommend this product. One tip, I use it on the small cup setting; it tastes better to me and not as watery.
The trick to good cocoa October 27, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The first two or three K-cup cocoa cups I brewed were pretty wretched, even when I shook the cup heavily before using and used the smallest brew size. Then I decided to put a little mik in a mug (an ounce or so), open the K-cup and empty its contents into the mug, then brew hot water only, using the intermediate brew size, directly into the mug. The resulting cocoa was very good and the extra step of emptying the K-cup was no work at all.
I'm not sure I really needed the extra milk, but I like milky cocoa so I added it.
I'll be curious to see if this hint helps anyone else.
PS I still prefer the taste of the powdered cocoa packets (Ghirardelli) that came as a sample with my brewer (or similar ones from Bellagio), but the K-cups are convenient, too
