A selection highly rated by our customers.
1 kg bags for vending machines, Ristora hazelnut (8,95 €) or vanilla (8,95 €) and Caprimo vanilla (9,99 €), or Lavazza Expert sticks to pour into a cup: choose according to your machine or how you plan to use them.
Instant cappuccino, also known as cappuccino powder, combines the ingredients of a cappuccino in a single powder: milk powder, instant coffee and sugar, often with a little cocoa. It dissolves in hot water to make a milky drink with a light foam, without fresh milk, a frother or an espresso machine. It is the milky drink served in vending machines, offices and break rooms.
For a vending machine, choose a 1 kg bag. Ristora, an Italian brand in the Prontofoods group, offers two flavours, hazelnut (8,95 €) and vanilla (8,95 €): use 17 to 19 g per cup of hot water, giving 52 to 58 cups per bag (around 0,16 € per cup for hazelnut). Caprimo vanilla (9,99 €) uses the same amount for a 15 cl cup. Caprimo, a brand in the Swiss Barry Callebaut group, launched the first ready-to-mix cappuccino for vending machines in 1987.
If you do not have a vending machine, Lavazza Expert sticks in Cappuccino Classique and Noisette are sold in boxes of 10 sticks of 18 g: put one stick into a cup, add 15 cl of hot water or hot milk, and your drink is ready. With a Lavazza Blue machine, a Bevanda Bianca capsule can replace the water for a creamier cup. Do not pour the sticks into a vending machine: use a 1 kg bag instead.
Store instant cappuccino in a dry place, away from heat and light, with the bag or box tightly closed. For the rest of your break, explore our instant hot chocolate and instant tea too.
The questions our customers ask most often.
Instant cappuccino, or cappuccino powder, is an instant mix containing milk powder, instant coffee and sugar, often a little cocoa, and sometimes a flavouring (vanilla or hazelnut). It dissolves in hot water to make a milky drink with a light foam.
Benefits: ready in an instant, no espresso machine, no fresh milk. Store in a dry place with the bag or box tightly closed; the best-before date is shown on the packaging. Ideal for vending machines, offices and break rooms.
For both Ristora cappuccinos and Caprimo vanilla, use 17 to 19 g of powder for a cup containing 15 cl of hot water, giving 52 to 58 cups per 1 kg bag (around 0,16 € per cup for Ristora hazelnut). Pour the hot water over the powder and stir until fully dissolved. For a 18 cl cup, Caprimo recommends 20 to 23 g.
For a vending machine, pour the powder into the compartment for instant drinks and adjust the dose according to the machine manufacturer's instructions. Always reseal the bag after opening.
No — but its inspiration is. Caprimo was founded in 1985 in Denmark by MD Foods, with a name paying tribute to the island of Capri. The brand launched the first ready-to-mix cappuccino for vending machines in 1987 and now belongs to the Swiss Barry Callebaut group. Discover its history on our Caprimo brand page.
No. Lavazza Expert Cappuccino Classique and its Noisette variant come in individual 18 g sticks, in boxes of 10: pour one stick into a cup with 15 cl of hot water or hot milk, with no machine needed. For a powder vending machine, choose a 1 kg bag from Ristora or Caprimo.
Yes: it contains milk and coffee (and therefore caffeine). Ristora bags are labelled ‘gluten-free’; for the other products, the ingredients list, allergens and nutritional information are shown on the product label, which is the definitive source.
Yes. Sugar is one of the first ingredients listed on Ristora and Caprimo bags, as well as Lavazza Expert sticks: the drink is ready to enjoy as it is, with no need to add any more.
