Soapy, artificial By Brittfrom PBIComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:Totally artificial flavour and soapy subnotes.Comment on this review12/1/2012(3 of 3 customers found this review helpful) 1.0Contains artificial sweeteners By Amyfrom OhioComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:I think it is deceptive to make no mention that this contains artificial sweeteners on the front of the box. Since this is not marked as reduced calorie in any way, I did not realize that it was a combination of sweeteners. Please be more straightforward in your product!Comment on this review10/20/2012 3.0Takes some experimentation By Travels a lotfrom New EnglandAbout Me Simple TastesProsBalanced SweetnessConsChalky TasteBest UsesSnackingComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:I think 6 oz is better than 8oz as recommended. Found a significant amount of chocolate left on pod after brewing, post brew was better after I added that to the brew. Agree with reviewer who mentioned there is an after taste. Also agree with other viewer who mentioned it is similar to hot chocolate from an envelope. Room for improvement.Would recommend with reservations.Comment on this review9/15/2012 4.0Good basic hot cocoa, no frills By Lukefrom Chesapeake, VAAbout Me Simple TastesProsLightSmoothConsThinBest UsesSnackingComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:This hot cocoa isn't terrible. It's no different than what you'd pour out of an envelope. I'd stick to the 6 ounce selection, as the 8 ounce begins to get thin and watery. If you want real cocoa or bought a Vue just for the cocoa, then you will be upset by the offering. But as a change-up from coffee every so often, this fits the bill.Comment on this review9/3/2012 5.0Nice Chocolate flavor By Christianfrom DallasAbout Me Simple TastesProsDeliciousSmoothConsBest UsesSnackingComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:Good chocolate flavor, simply delicious.

By E Cfrom Dallas, TXAbout Me FoodieProsDeliciousSmoothConsBest UsesDessertComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:Hot chocolate doesn't get much simpler than this!My younger brother, who is not a big coffee drinker, uses our VUE nearly as much as I do thanks to this Hot Cocoa. He likes to mix it with the Donut Shop coffee -- calls it a chocolate donut.Comment on this review6/1/2012(2 of 2 customers found this review helpful) 1.0Yuck By cmlamlfrom paComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:This tasted awful! I took 2 sips and put it down the drain. I agree with the reviewer who said it tasted like chemicals! I figured it was some type of artificial sweeter which i do not like...so i tried but cannot find ingredients anywhere! I would think a lot of kids would tend to use this...and all that artificial stuff is so bad for you...not to mention kids would not like this taste! Maybe they should brew it with the chocolate etc and tell the user to sweeten it or something like that!Comment on this review5/31/2012 5.0Nice chocolate flavor By Chrisfrom Palm beach, FLAbout Me Health ConsciousProsBalanced SweetnessDeliciousSmoothConsToo SweetBest UsesSnackingComments about Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Coca 16 Vue Pack:Nice sweet chocolateflavor.

I had read the reviews, and hoped I could agree with the positive review. However, even after mixing the cocoa with Jersey milk (really wonderfully rich), the predominant taste was artificial. Perhaps because I cook everything from scratch, and don't use artificial sweeteners or additives, those flavors were overwhelming, far outweighing the chocolate flavor I'd hoped to enjoy. I can't recommend this product at all.Comment on this reviewDisplaying reviews 1-10Back to topPrevious | Next »
