Buyer’s Guide

Favorite brand

We’re loyal to our favorite brand. Of course, it is by exploring and going out of our comfort zone that we find new and exciting flavors that suit our palate the best. But if you’re a loyal customer of one particular K-cup brand like, say, Starbuck’s K-cups, then you might want to go with their hot cocoa. 

It’s all about what feels best for you.

Flavor variety

Yes, hot cocoa is great- but is it the best beverage you could be making on your Keurig? 

On this list, we have included a few alternatives, like peppermint & hot cocoa, salted caramel, and an assortment that has way too many hot cocoa flavors. 

If you know that hot cocoa is all you need, it’s okay to go with plain hot cocoa. It’s delicious. 

However, if you know that you’re going to be bored after the first cup, it’s probably best to get a more exotic flavor. 

FAQ

Do They Make Sugar Free hot Chocolate K-Cups?

Yes, indeed! You can find several variations such as hot cocoa K-cups with no sugar added, or reduced-calorie hot cocoa K-cups.  

They don’t taste the same but seeing as how many of these are pumped full of sweeteners such as corn syrup, it’s a good idea to switch it up once in a while and drink sugar-free hot cocoa. If it’s too bitter for you, you can always sweeten it with stevia and the like.

Where can I buy hot Chocolate K-Cups?

There’s bound to be some at your local store, but we prefer buying online. The sheer amount of variety you can find online and the ability to compare side to side things such as quantity, price, and even customer reviews— you could never do that at the store! 

All in all, it’s a wiser decision to buy online after doing some research than to blindly bet on some k-cups you found at your local store. But if you’re in a hurry, yes, you can probably find them in your town or city.

How Long do hot Chocolate K-Cups Last?

Because they come sealed in a capsule, K-cups last quite long compared to other types of ground or powdered ingredients. But instead of going on a limb and giving you an estimate, you should check the expiration date on the product you buy. Either way, it’s probably long enough.
