VAN HOUTEN DIDN'T JUST SHAPE THE WORLD OF CHOCOLATE - IT TRANSFORMED IT.
THE VAN HOUTEN LEGACY
In 1828, Casparus Van Houten invented the hydraulic cocoa press in Amsterdam. By separating cocoa butter from cocoa liquor, he made it possible to create cocoa powder that was smooth, consistent, and for the first time - affordable. Chocolate was no longer a luxury. It became a global pleasure.
But the innovation didn’t stop there. His son, Coenraad Van Houten, later developed the Dutching process; a method of alkalising cocoa that removed bitterness and gave cocoa its mellow taste and rich colour. That discovery didn’t just change hot chocolate. It paved the way for the invention of the modern chocolate bar and mass chocolate production as we know it.
Trusted by baristas and vending operators in over 100 countries worldwide - Van Houten has never stopped innovating.

" Bringing up a child is a major concern for every mother. I used to worry a lot about children who are out of school because they are working in cocoa farming until the Cocoa Horizons Project came along. The child labour class has really sensitized the men who were originally reluctant to educate their children, especially girls. Now the majority of our children are in school, so I’m actually feeling the impact of the program since it is helping us to champion the course of eliminating child labour related issues in our community.

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