Satro Choc 08 hot chocolate 1 kg

Satro Choc 08 is a ‘premium standard’ vending hot chocolate with ~14% cocoa, positioned for intensive professional use (vending machines, office cafeterias, waiting rooms). Differences compared with artisan gourmet hot chocolate (such as Van Houten Van Praet, Pralus, Weiss):

• Cocoa content — Satro Choc 08 ~14% versus gourmet ~25–30%. Gourmet hot chocolate has a more intense raw cocoa flavour but costs considerably more.
• Recipe — Satro includes whole milk powder for automatic creaminess (just add water). Artisan gourmet hot chocolate is often ‘pure cocoa’, to be mixed separately with hot milk.
• Dissolving speed — Satro Choc 08 dissolves instantly in 5–10 s, optimised for vending machines. Gourmet hot chocolate may require 20–30 s of whisking.
• Yield / cost — Satro ~70–80 cups/kg at a low cost per cup. Gourmet ~50–60 cups/kg at 3–5× the cost.

Choc 08 is the right choice for regular office/vending use — an optimised balance of enjoyment and price, with high user satisfaction. For premium gourmet hot chocolate service (hotels rated 4–5 stars, fine dining restaurants, speciality cafés), choose artisan gourmet hot chocolate.

If you are unsure about machine compatibility, contact your vending technician or our B2B team.

Yes, very easily. To make hot chocolate by hand at the office or at home:

• Simple version — 12–15 g of Satro Choc 08 powder + 150–200 ml of hot water at 85–90°C in a cup, stir for 5–10 seconds. Ready.
• Creamy version — 15 g of powder + 150 ml of hot whole milk + whisk vigorously. Creamier than with water.
• Gourmet upgrade — 15 g of powder + 150 ml of hot milk + 1 square of 70% dark chocolate for a more intense flavour + a pinch of fleur de sel or cinnamon. Brings the result close to artisan gourmet hot chocolate.

Tip: to avoid lumps, add the powder first, then gradually add the hot water/milk while whisking (doing it the other way round creates lumps that remain at the bottom of the cup).

Yes — Satro Choc 08 contains:

• Milk (lactose, milk proteins) — present in the whole milk powder.
• Soya (possible traces) — soya lecithin used as a standard chocolate emulsifier.
• Gluten (possible traces) — depends on the factory; check the labelling for each batch.

Free from: nuts (hazelnuts, almonds), eggs, peanuts, fish, crustaceans, sesame — except for possible traces from cross-contamination, depending on the German factory's specifications.

If you are lactose intolerant, choose a vegan hot chocolate (oat-, almond- or soya-based) or consult the specialist hot drinks catalogue for suitable options. If you have coeliac disease, require ‘gluten-free’ certification from the supplier — this is not guaranteed for this standard product.

Satro Quality Drinks is a German brand of premium vending drinks, founded in 1969 in Lippstadt (Westphalia, Germany). Historically owned by FrieslandCampina Kievit (a Dutch dairy group and leader in powdered coffee creamer), Satro has specialised in soluble powders for vending machines — hot chocolate, cappuccino, café latte, instant teas and flavoured drinks.

Since 2016, Satro has been part of the Barry Callebaut group, the world's number 1 in B2B cocoa and chocolate (headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, turnover of approximately 8 billion €, present in more than 40 countries). This acquisition strengthens Satro's expertise in professional hot drinks for vending machines through the strength of Barry Callebaut's cocoa network. The result for the end user: more consistent recipe quality + traceable cocoa sourcing + continuous range innovation.
