I thought the Hot Chocolate pods could be used (and would be good as well) with water. My Nespresso only has a water tank attached. I thought that making it with milk was only recommended, but the first thing I saw on the boxes was "Add hot or cold milk". I feel that it could have been made more clear on the site that you actually have to use milk for the hot chocolate pods. It's confusing when there's a category named milkshakes, and another one that says hot chocolate pods. In hindsight I wouldn't have bought 5 boxes of hot chocolate pods, if I knew that making it with milk is the only way.
