3.0 out of 5 stars Not as rich as Green Mountain Hot Chocolate, January 1, 2009

I love my Keurig and my kids and wife love the hot chocolate. I was thrilled to see an alternative to Green Mountain Hot Chocolate. We have been very happy with Green Mountain, but it is always nice to have more than one selection. We tried Timothy's White Hot Chocolate and found it too sweet. Unfortunately, Gloria Jean's does not seem to make as rich a cup of hot chocolate as Green Mountain. Seems a bit more watery to us than Green Mountain. It is a palatable hot chocolate and probably better than Nestle, but I didn't feel it was as good as the Keurig competition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bleh, watery, funny taste, January 18, 2009

Almost tastes like it has been flavored with something. Very watery, even on the low setting, bad artificial creamer taste. A few ounces of baileys will cover it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Like this Cocoa, February 22, 2009

We recently purchased a Keurig brewer and, as I don't drink coffee, I was more interested in the cocoa and tea selections. Our brewer came with one sample cup of the Green Mountain hot cocoa, which was very good. Amazon doesn't sell the Green Mountain brand (only third-party sellers have it), so I decided to try the Gloria Jean's. I like it very much. To me, it is a nicely flavored cocoa. I have ordered a box of Green Mountain from Keurig and will do a side-by-side comparison when I receive it.

One thing I like about the K-cups over packets of cocoa mix (to me, the flavor is about the same) is that with the K-cups, you don't have to stir the cocoa. Some reviews mentioned that all the cocoa didn't dissolve, and I also saw one review that suggested shaking the K-cup before putting it in the brewer, and another where the reviewer said she first put the cocoa K-cup in upside down to pierce it and then right side up for the actual brewing cycle. I don't know what model brewer she has, because I couldn't fit the K-cup upside down in mine. I did find that if I shake the K-cup first, put it in the brewer and close the cover to pierce the cup, open it and rotate the K-cup 180 degrees and then close the lid to brew, the combination of shaking up the mixture and having two holes pierced for the water to go through results in no undissolved cocoa mix left in the K-cup (I have cut open the foil to check).

As for some reviewers saying this is tasteless/artificial tasting/bad cocoa, I can't comment on that because taste is subjective. To me, the Gloria Jean's cocoa K-cups taste at least as good as any packet mixes I've had and I love the convenience of using them. I am going to suggest to Keurig that they make a dark chocolate cocoa K-cup, because I prefer dark to milk chocolate.
