Recommended preparation
Recommended equipment: A hot drinks vending machine for powdered drinks, or simply a cup of hot water
Use & recommendations
Caprimo vanilla cappuccino is an instant powder mix for hot drinks vending machines: a milky, vanilla-flavoured cappuccino made with skimmed milk powder, instant coffee and cocoa, already sweetened. It can also be prepared in a cup with hot water.
Manufacturer's recommended dosage:
- 15 cl — 17 to 19 g of powder, making 52 to 58 cups per bag;
- 18 cl — 20 to 23 g, making 43 to 50 cups;
- 20 cl — 23 to 25 g, making 40 to 43 cups.
In a vending machine, pour the powder into the instant drinks compartment and set the dose on the machine according to the machine manufacturer's recommendations. In a cup, add the powder, pour in hot water and stir until fully dissolved.
Storage. Keep dry, protected from air and light, with the bag tightly closed: the powder is sensitive to moisture. Barry Callebaut states a shelf life of 18 months; the date is shown on the bag.

Frequently asked questions
How much powder per cup, and how many cups does a 1 kg bag make?
Barry Callebaut, the brand owner, recommends 17 to 19 g of powder for a 15 cl drink, 20 to 23 g for 18 cl and 23 to 25 g for 20 cl. A 1 kg bag therefore makes 52 to 58 cups of 15 cl, or 43 to 50 cups of 18 cl.
In a vending machine, the dose is set on the machine: start with these guidelines, then adjust according to the result in the cup.
What are the ingredients and allergens?
According to the list provided by a distributor for this bag (with the same barcode): sugar, skimmed milk powder, maltodextrin, glucose syrup, coconut vegetable fat, instant coffee, reduced-fat cocoa powder, salt, milk protein, flavouring and additives (stabilisers, anti-caking agents, emulsifier, colour).
Allergen: milk. The mix contains instant coffee, and therefore caffeine. The list printed on the bag is authoritative.
Can it be used in any vending machine?
It is designed for hot drinks vending machines that use instant powders: the powder is poured into the instant drinks compartment and dissolves in hot water. It is suitable for neither a coffee bean grinder nor a capsule machine.
Set the dose according to the powder manufacturer's guidelines and your machine manufacturer's instructions.
Can you prepare it without a vending machine?
Yes. Add 17 to 19 g of powder (about three teaspoons) to a cup, pour in 15 cl of hot water and stir until fully dissolved. No espresso machine or milk frother is needed: the milk is already in the powder.
What is Caprimo?
Caprimo is the instant vending drinks brand of the Swiss group Barry Callebaut. Founded in Denmark at MD Foods, it launched the first ready-to-use cappuccino for vending machines in 1987, followed by a range of flavoured cappuccinos, including this vanilla version. Discover its history on our Caprimo brand page.
How does it differ from Ristora vanilla cappuccino?
The Ristora vanilla cappuccino 1 kg serves the same purpose: an instant vanilla mix in a 1 kg bag, with the same guideline of 17 to 19 g per cup. Recipes vary between brands: compare the ingredient lists on both product pages. Ristora also offers a hazelnut version.
