Specialty drinking chocolate for hospitality
Rich and velvety European style drinking chocolate from various chocolate makers, handcrafted using ethically sourced cacao beans. By using some of the best cacao in the world, our chocolate makers are able to eliminate the need to use fillers in the chocolate (like added cocoa butter, soy lecithin, or vanilla) which lets the true flavors of the cacao shine through. All our drinking chocolates are made from the whole bean, they are not just "cacao-powder!"
Measurements and Preparation Methods for Baristas
When you foam milk the volume increases. Depending on the type of milk or milk-alternative the volume size of your cup may vary.
