Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular lakeside café in Windermere, was looking to upgrade its hot beverage offering after customers noted their previous hot chocolate was a little too sweet. They switched to the EBTB 35% Cocoa powder to provide a richer, more adult-friendly flavour.
"We immediately noticed the difference in quality. The flavour is so much deeper and more authentic. Customers have been commenting on it, and it's become one of our best-selling drinks, especially on a chilly day by the lake."
Robert Evans – Owner, The Copper Kettle
After the switch, the café saw a 20% increase in hot chocolate sales over the autumn and winter seasons, with many customers specifically requesting it.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storage & Preparation
- Always store the powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours.
- Ensure the pack is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
- For fast service, consider decanting a smaller amount into an airtight container for your workstation.
- To achieve the smoothest mix, make a paste with a little hot milk or water before topping up the cup.
Consistency & Hygiene
- Use a consistent measure (e.g., a specific scoop) for every drink to ensure uniform flavour.
- If using a steam wand to heat, wipe and purge it immediately after every use to prevent milk residue build-up.
- Regularly clean any jugs, whisks, or spoons used for preparation.
- Implement a 'first in, first out' (FIFO) system with your stock to ensure you're always using the freshest powder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this powder already sweetened?
A: Yes, this is a complete hot chocolate mix that contains sugar for a balanced flavour, but the high cocoa content ensures it's not overly sweet.
Q: Can I use it with non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk?
A: Absolutely! It dissolves beautifully in most hot milk alternatives. Oat milk, in particular, creates a wonderfully creamy result.
Q: How should I store the 2kg pack once it's opened?
A: Keep it in a cool, dry place, and make sure the pack is sealed tightly to protect it from moisture and keep it fresh.
Q: What is the best way to prepare it for a single serving?
A: For a perfectly smooth drink, we recommend putting your desired amount of powder in a mug, adding a small splash of hot milk or water, and whisking to a smooth paste before filling the rest of the cup.
Q: Is this product suitable for use in hot drink vending machines?
A: This powder is designed for manual preparation. You should check your vending machine's specifications for compatible ingredients, as some require specific granulated formulas.
Q: Can I make cold chocolate milk or milkshakes with this?
A: Yes, you can. For best results, make a paste with a small amount of warm liquid first to dissolve the powder fully before adding cold milk and ice.
Q: Roughly how many servings can I get from one 2kg pack?
A: This depends on your serving size, but assuming a standard 20-25g serving per cup, you can expect to make approximately 80-100 hot chocolates.
Q: Is the packaging recyclable?
A: The packaging is a foil-lined bag designed for freshness. Please check with your local recycling authority for their specific capabilities regarding mixed-material packaging.

Explore more from EBTBWhy 35% Cocoa Content Changes Everything
Ever wondered what makes a 'premium' hot chocolate? It often comes down to the cocoa percentage. Many standard powders are mostly sugar with a little cocoa for colour. This EBTB mix, with its 35% cocoa, flips that on its head. Think of it like cooking with a quality dark chocolate bar versus a cheap cooking chocolate. The higher cocoa content provides a deep, complex, and genuinely chocolatey flavour, not just sweetness. This means you can often use less powder per serving to achieve a richer result, making it more economical in the long run. It's the difference between a drink that's simply 'sweet' and one that's truly satisfying.
