Hot Chocolate

I drink Hot Chocolate most days and it does exactly what it needs to. Prepared hot it's pleasant and the sustained focus is noticeable. The quality of the source could be better — I've had more impressive versions elsewhere — but for a reliable daily drink it delivers. Not everything needs to be a …

Out of curiosity I tried 3 different versions of Hot Chocolate over a month, varying quality of the source each time. The range was significant. Prepared in the morning with care at the best end, the digestive benefit was pronounced. At the worst end, genuinely mediocre. The takeaway: the category …

I made the switch from my previous drink to Hot Chocolate about 6 months ago. The transition was easier than I expected. Prepared cold-brewed, the temperature of preparation keeps it interesting and the calm alertness is noticeably different — better for me personally, though I know results vary. T…

I picked up Hot Chocolate reluctantly — my doctor suggested it and I was sceptical. Prepared over ice the first time I thought it was fine but nothing special.
