Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular tearoom in the heart of Bath, was looking to upgrade its hot chocolate offering from a standard supermarket brand to something that matched the quality of its artisan cakes. They needed a commercial hot chocolate powder that provided a richer, more authentic flavour.
"Our customers noticed the difference immediately. We started getting comments about how our hot chocolate was the 'best in the city'. It mixes so well and gives us a consistent, premium product we're proud to serve."
Michael Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
Since making the switch, the tearoom has reported a 30% rise in hot chocolate sales year-on-year, making it one of their most popular winter menu items.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always store the powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours.
- Use a dedicated, dry scoop for dispensing to prevent contamination and clumping.
- For the smoothest results, make a thick paste with a little hot milk before topping up the cup.
- Keep the original packaging or transfer to a clearly labelled, airtight container.
Keeping It Going
- Always reseal the bag or container tightly after each use to keep moisture out.
- Regularly check the best-before date to ensure you're always serving the freshest product.
- Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent pests and maintain a clean prep area.
- Avoid storing it near steam-producing equipment like coffee machines or boilers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best way to mix this hot chocolate powder?
A: For a perfectly smooth drink, we recommend making a paste with a small amount of hot milk in the bottom of the cup, then adding the rest of the steamed milk while stirring continuously.
Q: Is this hot chocolate powder suitable for vegans?
A: The powder itself contains no dairy, but it is produced in an environment where milk is handled. Please check the full ingredients list for allergen information before serving.
Q: Can I use this powder with water instead of milk?
A: For the best flavour and texture, this powder is designed to be mixed with milk or milk alternatives. Using water will result in a much thinner, less creamy drink.
Q: How should I store the 1kg pack once it's opened?
A: To maintain freshness, fold the bag over, clip it securely, and store it in a cool, dry, airtight container away from moisture and strong smells.
Q: What is the difference between this and a standard supermarket drinking chocolate?
A: This commercial hot chocolate powder has a significantly higher cocoa content (35%) and is formulated to dissolve easily in a café setting, providing a richer, more professional result.
Q: Can I use this in a hot chocolate vending machine?
A: This powder is designed for manual preparation. For vending machines, we recommend using a powder specifically formulated for that purpose to prevent clogging.
Q: Does this product contain nuts?
A: While the recipe does not contain nuts, it's always best to refer to the packaging for the most up-to-date allergen information regarding the manufacturing environment.
Q: Approximately how many servings can I get from one 1kg pack?
A: This depends on your preferred serving size, but a typical 25-30g serving will yield between 33 and 40 drinks per pack, making it a very cost-effective choice.

Explore more from EBTBMore Than Just a Number: Why 35% Cocoa Makes All the Difference
You often see 'cocoa content' listed, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it like the grape variety in a bottle of wine. A higher percentage, like the 35% in this powder, means more of the final product is made from actual cocoa solids and less from fillers like sugar. This is what creates that deep, rich, and slightly complex chocolate flavour that tastes genuinely indulgent, rather than just sweet.
For your customers, it’s the difference between a memorable, premium experience and a forgettable, generic one. For your bottom line, a richer powder often means you can use slightly less per serving while still achieving a powerful flavour, improving your cost-per-cup. It's a small detail on the pack that has a huge impact on the final product you serve.
