WEAK AND WATERY

VERY WATERY. EVEN BREWING AT 6OZ, THE BREW TURNS TO WATER BEFORE FINISH. NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY. WISH KEURIG WOULD CARRY THE GREEN MOUNTAIN HOT COCOA AGAIN AS IT WAS MUCH BETTER.
I guess this is ok for electronic brew systems hot cocoa. Regular hot cocoa definitely has an edge over kcup hot cocoa. No matter how fast I drink it 50% of the chocolate itself drops to the bottom of the cup. I can stir it constantly but the minute I stop stirring the chocolate drops right to the bottom again. It isn't just this brand...this happens with every brand of hot cocoa I've tried. BUT....it's not irritating enough to make me stop drinking it because it's sooo convenient.
8 oz brew - Weak. Not a knock on this brand per se. I'm guessing these cocoa Kups are just the instant mix. Less expensive to buy the packets instead. 6 oz brew recommended.
If you follow the directions and only use 8 ounces of water, the chocolate has a decent flavor. But it's far from the robust chocolate flavor I would prefer. I ended up putting a spoon of regular cocoa in the cup to give it that rich flavor I love. I am afraid to try a different k-cup chocolate for fear of experiencing the same problem.
