Usage & recommendations
Individual sachet format = zero waste, perfect dosage (20g pre-measured), impeccable hygiene. Each sachet is hermetically sealed (aluminum film or Lavazza printed food paper) — preserving the aromas for the entire shelf life (~12-18 months).
Target market : hotels, restaurants, offices, events — whenever a cup service or elegant presentation is required. The Lavazza signature on the bag reinforces the coffee brand with the end customer.
Advantages vs. 1 kg bulk (comparison with Ristora Chocolate 1 kg (#48970)):
- Lavazza individual sachet (this product) — no measuring equipment required (measuring spoon, closed jar), zero cross-contamination with other powders, neat presentation (the customer serves their own sachet — a reassuring hygienic gesture post-pandemic), controlled yield (1 cup = 1 sachet, no waste).
- Ristora 1 kg bulk — unit price ~40% lower, direct silo for vending machines, volume format for automatic dispensers. Ideal for high volumes.
Choose according to use : high vending volume + dedicated machine = Ristora 1 kg. Cup service hotel/restaurant/office meeting room = Lavazza sachets (this product).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference with Ristora 1 kg (#48970)?
Two formats for different uses — same category of B2B powdered chocolate but intended for complementary uses:
- Lavazza 20g sachets (this product) — single-serve size for hotels/restaurants/offices. Personal hygiene, elegant presentation, the signature Lavazza touch for the customer. Higher unit price but zero dosing, zero cross-contamination, zero waste.
- Ristora 1 kg bulk (#48970) — vending machine/supply/manual preparation volume. Direct silo machine, unit price ~40% lower. Ideal for high-volume and non-manually operated environments.
Good practice : hotel/restaurant with public vending machine + breakfast cup service = use both depending on the area (self-service vending = Ristora, breakfast service = Lavazza sachets).
Ingredients — allergens and origin of cocoa?
Typical composition : sugar (major ingredient), fat-reduced cocoa powder, whey powder, thickeners (E415, E466), natural flavorings, salt. Exact composition to be checked on sachet packaging — variations may occur depending on the production batch.
Major allergens :
- Milk / whey — not compatible with vegan diet or milk allergy.
- May contain traces of: soy, nuts, gluten (multi-product factory). Check product label.
Cocoa origin : a blend of selected cocoa, typically from South America (Ecuador, Colombia) and West Africa (Ivory Coast, Ghana). The Lavazza signature guarantees an industrial Ho.Re.Ca. quality standard — not grand cru, but reliable and reproducible.
A delicious hot chocolate recipe?
Classic recipe :
- Heat 150 mL of UHT whole milk to ~65-70 °C (microwave 40 sec or saucepan over low heat).
- Pour 1 sachet 20g Lavazza into the cup.
- Slowly pour in the hot milk while stirring with a whisk or spoon to dissolve the powder.
- Whisk vigorously for 15-20 seconds on the surface to incorporate air and create a foam.
- Optional gourmet touch : add UHT whipped cream as a topping + sprinkle with pure cocoa or cinnamon or grated chocolate.
Lighter recipe with water : replace milk with 150 mL of hot water (~85 °C) — less creamy texture, reduced calorie intake (~80 kcal vs ~130 kcal with whole milk).
Serve in a 160 mL Lavazza cappuccino cup (#60440) for consistent branding and appropriate volume.
Can it be used in a coffee machine/vending machine?
Not for use in automatic dispenser silos (the sachet format is not compatible with the augers of Necta/Bianchi/N&W/etc. machines). For this type of use, choose Ristora Chocolate 1 kg bulk (#48970) — dedicated silo format.
Yes, for quick manual preparation : whisk, domestic electric milk frother, electric milk pod (pour the sachet into the container, add milk/hot water, activate). Compatible formats : Nespresso Aeroccino, Bosch MilkMax, domestic cappuccino machine with manual nozzle.
Storage and best before date?
Best before date: 12-18 months after manufacture (see date on box and individual sachet). Long shelf life thanks to the airtight individual sachet (aluminum film or food-grade paper) which preserves aromas and prevents oxidation.
Optimal storage : Protect from moisture, heat, and direct light (15-25°C, relative humidity < 65%). Unopened sachets will keep perfectly until the best before date. An opened but unused sachet can be resealed for use within a few hours—beyond that, ambient humidity may cause the powder to clump.
