A quick note about our products

We’ve done everything we can to ensure that the information we provide about our products is accurate and up to date. We keep our images as current as possible, and you can trust that the product you receive will be just as described. However, packaging might sometimes change as manufacturers update designs, run promotions, or switch things up. If the colour, packaging, or recipe is important to you, just give us a shout before ordering!

Keep in mind that images are for illustration purposes only, and manufacturers might tweak recipes or specs while keeping the product name the same. Products are always being improved, so their ingredients, nutritional content, and allergy advice can change. That’s why we strongly recommend you always read the actual product label carefully before using or consuming anything. Don’t rely solely on the info provided on our website.

Even though we regularly update our product information, Vending Superstore can’t accept liability for any inaccuracies. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights. Always check the packaging for allergen advice, and if you need further food allergy advice, it’s best to chat with your doctor. And remember, products suitable for vegans might not necessarily be safe for people with food allergies, as advised by The Vegan Society.

CHOCOLATE THAT DOES MORE

Cocoa With a Conscience

At Van Houten, sustainability isn’t an afterthought - it’s woven into every cup. Through the Cocoa Horizons programme, we’re helping cocoa farming communities thrive by offering training, education, and financial support. Farmers are empowered to grow their business, improve their harvests, and protect the environment they depend on.

We have a zero child labour policy, and work closely with communities to ensure children are kept safe, supported, and in school. Women are given access to literacy and business training, helping them become economic contributors in their own right. And by distributing tools like cookstoves and tree seedlings, we support a future where cocoa can be farmed responsibly for generations to come.

SERVE CAFÉ-STYLE DRINKS WITH EASE USING VAN HOUTEN COCOA AND BARISTA-BACKED INSPIRATION.

More Choice.
More Indulgence.

Bring the creativity of your local coffee shop straight to your vending machine. With Van Houten’s range of premium cocoa powders, you can easily serve indulgent, café-style drinks - all from the convenience of your current setup.

By combining your existing coffee offer with just three chocolate powders; dark, milk, and white - you can unlock 10 exciting drink options. Think White Mochas, Chococinos, Duo Hot Chocolates and more. A richer menu means more choice, more indulgence, and more reasons for customers to come back.

Today’s drinkers want more than just convenience. They expect flavour, quality and a story behind every cup. Whether it’s plant-based, sustainable, or single-origin - they want to taste the difference.

It’s time to lean into indulgence.
And raise the bar on what your vending machine can do.

TRANSFORM YOUR VENDING SETUP INTO A DESTINATION FOR CHOICE, INDULGENCE AND ON-TREND HOT DRINKS.

Make It More Than Just a Machine

Looking to boost sales and keep your machine front of mind? Start by making it stand out. A well-branded, eye-catching machine is more likely to stop customers in their tracks - Custom visuals or digital displays can help make that happen.

Next, make sure you’re offering drinks that match what people want right now. Plant-based is one of the biggest trends in hot drinks, and Van Houten Oat gives you a vegan option that doesn’t compromise on taste or performance.

Location still counts - place your machine somewhere with footfall and dwell time. Think reception areas, waiting rooms, staff hubs. And finally, don’t just offer coffee. With chocolate-infused recipes and indulgent drinks like Van Houten’s range, your machine can serve up a coffee shop experience in a cup.
