Frequently Asked Questions
Difference between a Caprimo Vanilla and a standard vending cappuccino?
Caprimo Vanilla is positioned as "premium vending" with several differentiators compared to generic vending cappuccinos (store brands for machines):
- Natural vanilla flavor (vs low-end synthetic) — more elegant, closer to bourbon vanilla, without the "chemical flavor" noticeable in the finish.
- Finer spray-dried soluble coffee base — better coffee flavor in the mid-palate, without the "burnt" or "cardboard" notes of low-end vending coffees.
- Whole milk powder (vs skimmed milk or artificial creamer) — superior creaminess and foam, texture close to artisanal cappuccino (within the limits of powder solubility).
- Barry Callebaut traceability — stable recipe, controlled coffee/cocoa sourcing, consistent quality batch after batch.
In terms of price, Caprimo is 10-20% more expensive than generic vending cappuccinos but significantly less expensive than artisanal gourmet cappuccinos. It offers optimal value for money, ideal for offices, cafeterias, or discerning vending machines that want to stand out without breaking the bank.
Compatible with my vending machine / automatic dispenser?
Yes — Caprimo Vanilla powder is compatible with almost all standard vending machines on the market :
- Necta (Krea Touch, Kikko, Colibri, Concerto, Brio) — Italy.
- Saeco Vending (Cristallo, Diamante, Rubino) — Italy / Philips.
- Rheavendors (Cino, Luce, XX, Sagoma) — Italy.
- Bianchi Industry (Aria, Sprint, Vega, Iris) — Italy.
- Crane (Milano, Diamond, Genesis) — United States.
Refilling follows the machine manufacturer's protocol (dedicated cappuccino canister). Consult your vending machine's manual for the programmed dosage in grams per cup (typically 12-15 g for this recipe). If you are unsure about machine compatibility, contact your vending technician or our B2B department.
Is it possible to prepare food manually in the office without a machine?
Yes, very easily. For a manual vanilla cappuccino at the office or at home:
- Simple version — 14-15 g of Caprimo Vanilla powder + 150-180 mL of hot water (85-90 °C) in a cappuccino cup (~160 mL). Whisk vigorously for 5-10 seconds to create a fine foam. Ready.
- For a more indulgent version — prepare with water and then lightly sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder or ground cinnamon. The result is similar to a vanilla cappuccino from a coffee shop.
- Frozen dessert version — prepare hot, let cool for 5 minutes, pour over 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream in a bowl. Vanilla affogato cappuccino — a quick dessert for the office or family.
Tip: Use a large cappuccino cup (160-200 mL) to allow room for the foam. A 70 mL espresso cup is too small and not suitable for this cappuccino format.
Does it contain allergens?
Yes — Caprimo Vanilla contains:
- Milk (lactose, milk proteins) — present in whole milk powder (major component of the recipe).
- Soy (possible traces) — soy lecithin used as a standard emulsifier powder.
- Gluten (possible traces) — depending on the factory, check the batch-by-batch labeling.
Free from : tree nuts (hazelnuts, almonds), eggs, peanuts, fish, crustaceans, sesame — except for possible cross-contamination according to Swedish factory specifications. The vanilla used is a natural flavoring extracted from vanilla beans (vanilla extract) — non-allergenic for most people.
For those with lactose intolerance, opt for a vegan cappuccino (made from oats, almonds, soy) or consult our catalogue of specialized hot drinks for suitable options.
What is Caprimo and what is its connection to Barry Callebaut?
Caprimo is a premium vending beverage founded in 1996 in Kågeröd, Sweden, by the AM Foods, a Scandinavian specialist in soluble food powders. Caprimo specializes in flavored vending cappuccinos —vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate, caramel—positioning itself as a premium product compared to generic vending cappuccinos.
Since 2015 , Caprimo has been part of the Barry Callebaut Group , the world's leading B2B cocoa and chocolate company (headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, with approximately €8 billion in revenue and a presence in over 40 countries). This acquisition was carried out concurrently with that of Kievit (FrieslandCampina) — thus consolidating Barry Callebaut's leadership in professional vending beverages . The result for the end user: a more consistent Caprimo Vanilla recipe, traceable coffee/cocoa/vanilla sourcing, and continuous innovation across the flavored vending range.
