Product Overview
Hot Chocolate 73mm in-cup vending drinks are pre-filled cups containing instant hot chocolate powder, supplied as a pack of 25 cups or a full case of 300 cups (12 sealed-for-freshness sleeves of 25). Simply load into a compatible 73mm in-cup vending machine and add hot water, or use a kettle to add hot water directly to the cup.

If you're looking to reduce your cost-per-cup without compromising on quality or variety, this is a straightforward switch from branded options. The same convenient in-cup format, the same machine compatibility, at a better price point.

FAQs
What is own-label in-cup hot chocolate?
Own-label in-cup hot chocolate is a pre-filled 73mm vending cup containing instant hot chocolate powder, designed for compatible in-cup hot drinks machines. It offers the same convenient format as branded alternatives at a more cost-effective price point.
How does this compare to branded hot chocolate in-cups?
The format, machine compatibility and preparation method are identical to branded options such as Cadbury or Van Houten. The key difference is price — own-label hot chocolate offers a lower cost-per-cup, making it a practical choice for operators managing high-volume vending or multiple sites.
Are the cups pre-filled?
Yes. Each cup is already filled with a measured portion of hot chocolate, ready for use in a compatible in-cup vending machine or with a kettle.
Do I need to add milk separately?
No. In-cup hot chocolate drinks are designed for convenience and are prepared by adding hot water. Always check the product packaging for the exact recipe and ingredients.
What does 73mm mean?
73mm refers to the rim diameter of the vending cup. In-cup vending machines are designed to use specific cup sizes, so always check your machine's compatibility before ordering.
What other in-cup drinks does Vending Superstore stock?
We stock a full range of in-cup drinks from Nescafé, PG Tips, Douwe Egberts, Kenco, Van Houten and more — including hot chocolate, soup, tea and coffee in a variety of recipes.
