How it works
Cold milk, powder, ten seconds to serve.
01
We ship it
Counter-top unit, ordinary 230 V socket, no plumbing and no engineer. A quick-start card comes in the box. It ships direct from Italy, so it reaches you in days rather than weeks.
02
You pour it
It heats and stirs all day, so it is always ready. The transparent bowl sells the drink from the counter.
03
We resupply
Reorder when it suits your rhythm. Anything wrong with the machine is ours to fix.

Where it works
EVERYDAY
Cafés & bakeries
The counter you already have, one more thing on it. Ten seconds a cup, no barista skill, no extra station.
ENQUIRE →INVERSE SEASON
Gelaterie & ijssalons
October to March make it perfect for an 'Affogato al Cioccolato' and make a great pairing with our biscotti.
DISCOVER →LOBBY & BREAKFAST
Hotels
Always hot, always ready, poured by whoever is on shift. The transparent bowl does the selling from the counter.
ENQUIRE →AFTER DINNER
Restaurants & delis
A dense Italian chocolate to finish on, or a counter serve beside the shelf. Ambient stock, nothing to prep.
ENQUIRE →Frequently asked
Am I tied in?
No. Monthly terms, cancellable at the end of any paid month. The machine stays ours and returns to us in spring.
What if the machine is not returned?
Machines come back to us at the end of the season. If one is not returned we invoice its replacement value: €450 for the 3-litre and €600 for the 6-litre. Return shipping is yours, everything else is ours.
Is it really vegan?
The chocolate itself contains no dairy. Poured with cow's milk it is not vegan; with oat or soy it is, and it thickens just as well.
What if the machine fails?
Tell us and we sort it out — repair or swap, depending on the fault. Damage from misuse is the one exception.
Can I taste it first?
Yes, and we would rather you did. We send you a single-serve sachet so you can make a proper cup in your own kitchen, and if you are nearby we can come and pour one for you.
It is already mid-season. Is it too late to start?
No. We place machines right through the winter. Sign in December and you run December to March instead of October to March — same monthly rate, same terms, same machine, and it still pays for itself well before spring. The only thing you miss is the prepaid-season discount, which only applies to a full six months.
