After reading some of the reviews, I was leary to purchase this cocoa for our fabulous Keurig coffee maker, but had to try it out for ourselves. At first the cocoa did stick in the cup somewhat but a simple solution is to shake the cocoa cup before placing it in the machine and voila....none left in the little cup. We love it !!! On amazon at present buying more.

I got a box of this cocoa along with my keurig i bought at a local warehouse store. If youve got curious kids, like mine-they were wanting to try out the machine as well. I am so glad they included this box of cocoa. Very nicely made-even with water is certainly drinkable. We went through the box in no time, and are planning a re-order.

I would recommend you run the keurig through empty once before having a cocoa. My first one tasted coffee-ish.

I thought it was great that there was hot cocoa for the keurig machine. this is so watery when you make it. green mountain needs to improve it. it tastes like chocolate flavored water. if you make a product that is intended for the machine it should work well in the machine. i love all of the k-cup coffees but this cocoa sucks.

The output of Green Mountain Cocoa K-cups is highly variable - sometimes it's a well-flavored cup of cocoa, sometimes it's just brown water.

This is because sometimes, a significant amount of the cocoa powder stays behind in the cup after the brew cycle. To really get a consistent product, you have to pierce the foil top to see if there is stuff left behind; scoop it out and stir it in, and you get the well-flavored cocoa some reviewers are raving about.

This, however, is ludicrous - it defeats the fire-and-forget interaction that makes the Keurig worth it.

The only thing that saves the product from a 1-star review is that its quick sugar hit has prevented many an afternoon nap at work. :D

Yes, it is easy, but not good at all. Hot water with little chocolate flavor---Swiss Miss is way better!

The chocolate flavor is weak. What you need to do is use the smallest cup size, then after it is done take out the cup, open the lid of the K cup and scoop out the rest of the powder. It's drinkable, but barely.

Worse then the extra fuss of mixing the powder yourself, is the flavor. There is a VERY DISTINCT plastic aftertaste. I thought maybe the water was just so hot it melted the cup, but the plastic cups are made of seem to be the same as the coffee ones which do not have this aftertaste. I think the chocolate is just not a good flavor. Next time I'm going to try ordering a different brand.

Now first let me start off by saying I am not a big chocolate fan. That being, the taste I percieve as being "great" may be different from yours. If your looking for that rich chocolate flavor then this beverage may not be what your looking for. This is by no means "chocolate flavored water." Its got flavor (as long as you stay with the first two size settings) and is so easy to make why bother with anything else. The bottom line: If your looking for a cup of hot chocolate with a powerful chocolate flavor, these k cups are not for you. If you are looking for a cup of hot chocolate with a moderate amount of flavor then give these a try.
When trying these k-cups I did not add anything else before serving (ex: marshmellows) I hope you enjoy and dont let the low review scores point you away from enjoying the easiest cup of hot chocolate you have ever had.

All I can say is this is the weakest brew I've ever had out of a coffee machine. The flavoring is also blatantly artificial. It's convenient but it's not good.

We got a new K-Cup machine and were very excited to try the hot chocolate. It was not good at all; it was like drinking hot water with a very, VERY slight taste of some sort...possibly chocolate. I would not purchase this item again.

I purchased this package of hot chocolate for my parents to go with their new coffee maker. This way, grandchildren could enjoy the machine too. But the chocolate (about $.65 a cup) tastes funny and will not be appealing to the kids.
