Recommended preparation
Recommended equipment: A hot drinks vending machine for powdered drinks, or simply a cup of hot water
Use & recommendations
Ristora hazelnut cappuccino is an instant powder mix that combines the taste of cappuccino with a hazelnut note. It has the same base as an instant cappuccino: skimmed milk powder, instant coffee, cocoa and sugar, with added hazelnut flavouring. Ristora includes it in its flavoured cappuccinos for vending, alongside vanilla, Irish and caramel.
Two ways to prepare it:
- By the cup — put 17 to 19 g of powder in a cup, add hot water, then stir until fully dissolved. No espresso machine is needed.
- In a vending machine — pour the powder into the compartment for instant drinks, then set the dose according to the instructions on the bag and the machine manufacturer’s recommendations.
How many cups? A 1 kg bag makes 52 to 58 cups depending on the dose used (17 to 19 g); this product page uses 19 g, the upper end of the range, to calculate the cost per cup. At two cups a day, one bag lasts just under a month.
Where to use it. This mix is designed for hot drinks vending machines: offices and businesses, cafeterias, catering areas and break rooms. It can also be prepared by hand, at home or in the office.
Storage. Keep the bag dry and protected from air and light. Once opened, reseal it carefully or transfer the contents to an airtight container: the powder is sensitive to moisture.

Frequently asked questions
How much powder per cup, and how many cups does a 1 kg bag make?
The guideline for this cappuccino is 17 to 19 g of powder in a cup of hot water (a drink of approximately 150 ml). A 1 kg bag therefore makes 52 to 58 cups: 52 to 19 g, 58 to 17 g.
In a vending machine, the dose is set on the machine: start with this range, then adjust according to the result in the cup and the machine manufacturer's recommendations.
Is this cappuccino gluten-free?
The bag is labelled ‘gluten-free’ and ‘no hydrogenated fats’ (senza glutine, senza grassi idrogenati in Italian), and retailers selling it repeat the same claims. As the recipe may change from batch to batch, the packaging you receive is the definitive source: if you have coeliac disease or a severe allergy, read the label before consuming it.
What are the ingredients and allergens?
The ingredient list found at retailers is as follows: sugar, skimmed milk powder, glucose syrup, non-hydrogenated coconut fats, instant coffee, highly defatted cocoa powder, potato starch, flavourings, salt, with texture additives (thickener, stabiliser, emulsifier). The proportions are not reproduced here: they vary from batch to batch according to the sources.
Allergen: milk (skimmed milk powder). The mix also contains instant coffee, and therefore caffeine. The full list and any possible traces are shown on the bag.
Can it be used in any vending machine?
It is designed for hot drinks machines that use instant powders: pour the powder into the compartment intended for instant drinks, where it dissolves in hot water. It is suitable for neither a coffee bean grinder nor a capsule holder: it is not coffee beans.
Adjust the dose and settings according to the instructions on the bag and those provided by your machine's manufacturer. If in doubt, try one bag first before filling several compartments.
How does it differ from Ristora vanilla cappuccino?
The Ristora vanilla cappuccino 1 kg is another flavour in the same range: according to the ingredient lists found at retailers, the base is the same (skimmed milk, instant coffee, cocoa, sugar) and only the flavouring changes, hazelnut here and vanilla there. The same dose is indicated, in the same 1 kg bag. Ristora also offers Irish and caramel versions in this range for vending machines.
What other Ristora products are available at Cafemalin?
Ristora is the instant drinks brand from Prontofoods:
- Instant hot chocolate 1 kg — the hot chocolate in the range, which Ristora describes as the most widely used in vending machines in Italy.
- Instant green tea with mint and lemon tea, in 1 kg bags.
- The vanilla cappuccino.

How should I store it after opening?
Keep the bag dry and protected from air and light. After opening, reseal it carefully or transfer the powder to an airtight container: instant powder that absorbs moisture clumps together and becomes harder to measure accurately. The best-before date is printed on the bag.
