Instant hot chocolate — 1 kg, catering pack & sachets

Instant hot chocolate

Q: How do you make instant hot chocolate?

Preparation is quick and easy: With hot water (for a vending-machine result): measure the powder according to the guidelines on the product page, pour in the hot water and stir until fully dissolved. With hot milk (Viennese hot chocolate): use the same amount of powder, with hot milk instead of water, for a creamier drink. Cold chocolate: dissolve the powder in a little lukewarm water, then add cold milk and ice cubes. Reseal the bag tightly after use and store in a dry place to prevent clumping.

Q: Which instant hot chocolate should you choose for your needs?

The choice mainly depends on the format and how you plan to use it: Vending machines and offices: 1 kg bags of Ristora (8,44 €) or Satro Hot Choco Mild, the latter with a mild, creamy, milky flavour. Large volumes: the 10 × 1 kg pack (82,71 €), with a saving of −2% compared with 10 bags bought separately. Individual cups: 50 Lavazza sachets of 20 g, one sachet per cup, with no measuring needed.

Q: Can instant hot chocolate be used in a vending machine?

Yes, for the bags of 1 kg. Ristora instant hot chocolate and Satro hot chocolates are powders designed for hot drinks vending machines: transfer the powder to the chocolate hopper, adjust the dose according to the machine manufacturer's instructions, and close the opened bag. Individual Lavazza sachets, on the other hand, are designed for serving by the cup: they should not be emptied into a hopper.

Q: What does instant hot chocolate contain?

The exact formulation is shown on each product's packaging. It is a preparation based on sugar, cocoa powder and milk powder, which may also contain emulsifiers and flavourings. It therefore contains milk; other allergens (particularly soya) may be present depending on the recipe. Check the product page and label for the full ingredients list, allergens and nutritional values: the recipe may vary between batches.

Q: Can instant hot chocolate be used in desserts?

Yes, it can be used for more than hot drinks: as a topping on a cappuccino, for Viennese hot chocolate with whipped cream, dissolved in milk as a sauce for crêpes and waffles, or for iced chocolate in summer. For professional pastry-making (ganaches, glazes, molten centres), choose pure cocoa or couverture chocolate instead: instant hot chocolate is already sweetened.

Instant hot chocolate powder: a blend of cocoa, sugar and milk powder that dissolves in hot water or hot milk. At Cafemalin, you will find Ristora instant hot chocolate in a 1 kg bag (8,44 €) and a 10 × 1 kg pack, two Satro products (Hot Choco Mild, mild and milky, and Choc 08), as well as 50 individual Lavazza sachets for serving by the cup. A selection for vending machines, offices, hotels and catering services.

Instant hot chocolate: which product should you choose?

Instant hot chocolate is an instant powder made from cocoa, sugar and milk powder. Prepare it with hot water for a vending-machine result, or with hot milk for a creamier, Viennese-style hot chocolate. Browse our selection by format and use.

Bags of 1 kg are the standard choice for vending machines and high-volume users. Ristora instant hot chocolate, 1 kg (8,44 €), from the Italian brand in the Prontofoods group, is the most popular; Satro Hot Choco Mild offers a mild, creamy and milky flavour, with a recommended serving of 23 g for a 180 mL cup, giving around 43 cups per bag; Satro Choc 08 completes the range in bags of 1 kg.

For high-volume use, the pack of 10 × 1 kg (82,71 €, or 8,27 € per kilo) avoids repeated orders. And for serving by the cup without measuring, the 50 individual Lavazza sachets of 20 g offer precise portions and neat presentation: one sachet, one cup.

Always keep the bag tightly closed in a dry place to prevent clumping. To complete your break, also discover our instant cappuccino and instant tea.
