I bought the hot chocolate pods. All varieties except sugar free. Other reviews claim they are watery and weak, and this is true if you use your lungo setting (it clearly advises using the short shot setting), my kids prefer it the lungo way as they add squirty cream and mini marshmallows. The beauty of these pods is that my kids can prepare themselves a hot chocolate...at last! Hazlenut, Caramel and the Smooth and Creamy are all a hit. They're not so keen on the mint flavour. I also bought Aromatica coffee in both versions with caffiene and decaf. I have to say they're not to my liking. I found they left a bit of an aftertaste. Sorry, I won't be buying coffee again but the Hot Chocolate I will buy again as it is perfect for us.
