FAQs

Can you use hot chocolate K cups in Keurig? ›

Directions : Place a Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa K-Cup pod in your Keurig coffee maker, ensure a mug is positioned underneath, and press the brew button.

We don't have a machine so thought we'd have to give them away to someone that does. We were able to use the hot chocolate cups quite easily by dumping the contents into a cup of hot water, however, the coffee and teas proved much less simple.

Coffee pods often last for three to eight months beyond their expiration date. Tea Pods can be enjoyed six to 12 months after their expiration date. Hot chocolate pods maintain their quality for six to 12 months beyond their expiration date.

The key ingredient to making Keurig hot chocolate transforms from a bland tasting hot chocolate into a delicious, high-quality hot drink is milk. You can add warm milk to your cup of hot cocoa. This will make it thicker and creamier. You can use any kind of milk.

Another great thing about using a reusable coffee capsule, means you're not stuck to using just one brand of coffee. You can use any granulated/powdered/instant coffee of your choice, and even hot chocolate or tea!

Whatever the occasion, it's easy to pop a hot chocolate pod in your NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® coffee machine and enjoy your silky, foam-topped drink in no time at all.

This is the reality: The mechanics of a standard plastic K-Cup accommodate a one-time use. Once you've brewed a cup of coffee, the grounds inside the pod are waterlogged. A second pass will give you a diluted brew, which is definitely not how you want to get that mid-morning kick.

Your Keurig machine brews a hot cup of coffee in well under a minute, but it is NOT “instant coffee.” The K-Cup itself is a sealed package which contains both real, ground coffee and a paper filter. Your coffee is brewed the same way a fresh pot of coffee is brewed — just on a smaller scale.

Keep them in a cool, dry place: Heat and moisture can make coffee beans go bad quickly, so it's best to store your K-Cups in a cool, dry place, like a pantry or cabinet.

The truth is, as long as the integrity of the seal and packaging of the pod are intact, these pods generally won't go bad for at least eight months to a year, no matter what the date on the package says. K-Cup Pods are flushed with nitrogen and sealed tightly against oxygen, light, and moisture.

Why is my K-cup puffy? ›

THERE'S TOO MUCH AIR IN YOUR K-CUP

While you CAN NOT prevent too much air from being in a K-cup due to fresh coffee and no degassing valve like on a coffee bag, you should inspect your K-cups before using them. You can spot that there's too much air in a K-cup by the fresh coffee, so notice the lid's shape.

Using milk in your Keurig can make it stick to the water reservoir causing it to spoil and begin to smell bad. Even if you clean it, any amount of milk left at room temperature, especially after its been heated, can stink up the kitchen and make the inside of your machine smell foul.

Yes, you can use a Keurig cup without the machine. All you need to do is heat up water to either boiling or nearly boiling. Then pour the hot water into a mug with the Keurig cup powder in it, then mix it and add whatever afterward.

We would recommend you brew your hot cocoa pods with the 6oz or 8oz cups sizes with your K-Elite coffee maker. If you enjoy a richer cup of cocoa, the 6oz size is great!

Yes, you can.

Use the 8-oz. setting to brew your hot cocoa pod. Press the hot cocoa/other button, if your brewer has this option. Sip and savor.

The Keurig® K-Cafe™ coffee maker is compatible with the Keurig® My K-Cup® Universal Reusable Coffee Filter, allowing you to brew your own ground coffee.
