If you use this with chocolate does it intensify the taste just like regular coffee? Has anyone made coffee tasting ice cream with this?

I really don't picture it tasting "right" with chocolate... It is indeed delicious, but to me it's more of a softer taste, like a coffee-flavored tea. Well, wait a minute... Let me make some and see!! Ha... Hmmm... Gee, actually it's pretty good! I added more Dandy Blend than I normally would have to make it stronger. Better than I thought it would be!! I totally love caf mochas, so this is a decent alternative indeed. Not AS good, but yes, you could live with this!! :)

Yes, but if you have used it to perk coffee you are not going to be able to get that leftover 'coffee' flavor out of it. I have one I used for hot chocolate but I bought it just for that and never used it for coffee so that I don't have that 'ghost' coffee flavor in the hot chocolate and tea.

I only have a humble Donvier, and am looking for something like this machine, but I have made Ice cream with Splenda (excellent) and Stevia (not so good, but I think it was bad stevia) and used substantially less of each than the sugar called for in the recipes. Consistency was fine, though I sometimes add a little gelatin if making a reduced fat batch. I would think you could make a no sugar added recipe that's fine as long as you use the Splenda. Not sure about other substitutes.

I've never used hot chocolate in it. It slightly keeps the coffee or tea smell....so I wonder if there is something to do with that. However, I will say it is AMAZING at keeping things hot/warm. Good luck.

It doesn't turn as brown as when you use creamer. It also has little coconut pieces (pulp like)that float in the coffee. If this doesn't bother you then it does have a good flavor. I didn't care for the pulp.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

I am using the chocolate and I mix it with regular flavor almond milk. I have mixed it with skim milk also but think the almond milk is healthier and also enhances the flavor. Good luck. I also have used the Yoli chocolate and find it even better tasting.

I use milk and no one has complained of theHot chocolate being too hot. Id say equavilant to a cup of coffee from my kcup machine.

you cannot mix it directly into your coffee. I found that you have to blend it in a separate container using an immersion blender, as it does not mix smoothly. Personally, I would not buy this product again. There is no protein value and it is way to sweet if you are looking for a milk replacement. Just buy some almond or cocoanut milk.

It tastes good (I like the chocolate and the vanilla). Usually I blend it with fruit juice, fruit, coconut milk, etc; but even if I just mix it with water, it still tastes good.

YES! and it comes out dark, thick and smooth. I use 2 scoops from aeropress and add water up to #3, best damn coffee ever! made it with water up to line 2 but it was way to strong. Adjust to your own taste...

I didn't think so. It's very rich and creamy though so I liked it best ice cold and mixed with cold coffee (like a protein latte!)

you add water with the chocolate mix,.. I use milk,. regular or 2%. Its a great little machine. Its mixes and heats the content to a perfect temperature automatically and shuts off.

I did not detect any taste like coffee. My son and wife like the hot cocoa, and neither of them complained about a coffee taste. They don't drink coffee.

I tried and was not bad! I really love using this coffee with machine, but I also use it when I have sleepy day - just add the coffee to cup and fill with hot water and drink. It is little bit finely minced, so you could have coffee granules in your mouth, but I do not care ;) I just love the taste.

I have always used regular whipping cream from the grocery store, or heavy cream, 8%, and it works great. And I add what ever extra flavor or sweetening I want to it, sugar, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla or almond extract. It all works great. I have had one of these for probably 20 years and it still works the same as new, got my son one for his most recent birthday.
