Does this have a "coffee" taste. I can' stand coffee and am very sensitive to it contaminating the chocolate

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.

No taste of coffee at all, just cocoa. I also love the hot cider, no coffee taste there either.

Nope. Though I believe the directions do recommend you run an empty cycle through the machine both before and after hot chocolate to avoid contamination.I too am not a fan of coffee - can't stand the taste. But after trying this at my mom's house over the Thanksgiving holidays last year we bought our own Keurig and this hot chocolate to replace our old hot chocolate machine. :)

Not in the least. This stuff is pretty good. I'm also a non coffee drinker. Be sure that your system didn't just have a coffee k cup run thru it

I'm really a coffee drinker but occasionally like a change of pace and this was a change I liked. Sorry it wasn't the one for you. I suspect most of the hot chocolate cups are powdered mixes. I think it's great that there are so many brands to choose from that most anyone can find one that appeals to them. Good luck in your search, Jerry.

I know the question is old (over a year), but I wanted to put my 2 cents worth in. I saw this question since I was looking up the product, as I had purchased it and noticed that artificial sweetener aftertaste, to which I am very sensitive to. I can't stand ANY artificial sweeteners... and yes, I can taste it in this product. Once I use the box up, not buying it again.

I don't think it does. I drink this every morning in my coffee. However some people's pallets may be more sensitive. It is one of my favorite brands of stevia, very high quality!

I myself am very sensitive to caffeine, I can't even take some cough syrups. I have had no problems with the product. I actually love the chocolate. I'm hoping that amazon will carry the Strawberry flavor soon. If you go on the Isagenix web site you can download the complete ingredients. It's very helpful. Hope this helps.

I'm usually very alert to artificial tastes, but this product tastes like wonderful, dark chocolate cocoa. And it is better than any you can buy at coffee bars (minus the whipped cream, which I decline anyway). My family thinks I make the best hot chocolate, even though Keurig makes it for me! : )

No, I didn't taste anything but a very pleasant dark chocolate flavor. I actually added a bit of coconut milk and the hot chocolate was delicious. In my opinion no particular flavor is noticed other than chocolate, which is what the product is supposed to taste like. Enjoy!

I think it would taste bad in coffee. I do not like the taste, either. I usually put it in my smoothies. That masks the taste. I also put it in juice which helps enough to get it down. To me, it is worth it, because I have noticeable difference in my health with it, especially in my nails.

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.

Jerry....Sorry for your bad experience....this is the review I left...not sure about others but I agree with you....MY review: The write up for this cocoa sounded so yummy! Well...it was not...tasted like card board....could not taste the Caramel or salt not much of anything....we took candy kisses and added to each cup till we used all the pods. This is a great idea and sounds wonderful ...they just need to work on the quality of the product. I would not recommend this unless you like a weak cup of cocoa.

This is very dark chocolate drink and it isn't sweet at all. I always add some sweet and low or splenda to it. And I cut it from four tablespoons to three. Also use almond milk instead of water. I could even try two tablespoons instead of three and still be palatable i'll bet.

Don't think so. I just tasted it - not very sweet. Also a little greasy for coffee?

It tastes like brown sugar too me. So after I put some hot water. I used it in my coffee.

Peacenik, I recently purchased this product and have recently used it to make a chocolate sugar-free frosting. It is amazing...very smooth taste. So the ingredients say that it contains organic cocoa powder and for the acidity regulator, it uses potassium carbonate. It says that it may contain milk, soy, nuts, and cereals. This is in all caps after the previous two ingredients. I am thinking that it is processed in a facility where these other things are processed so if you have an allergy, you might not want it. But these items are not part of the ingredient list.

I believe so. The texture and quality is good, however, it does not smell like chocolate. There is a new kind of cocoa being grown in South America and it is so mild it doesn't have the trademark scent.

I did not fine it to smell like plastic or rubber. It actually kinds of smelled like chocolate to me more than anything.
