Professional chocolate maker: why buy it and how it works

Originally the chocolate maker was simply a silver or porcelain jug, used to prepare hot chocolate bars in an instant: it was nothing more than a slightly pot-bellied container at the bottom which was useful for mixing the cocoa powder, sugar and milk.

A mixing wand was then placed on the lid, in order to avoid the formation of lumps in the drink.

Born in the seventeenth century, in a very short time the chocolate maker established itself first in the homes of the nobles and the richest until it reached bars and cafés all over the world. Now this very useful tool has found ample space among household appliances and professional equipment.

Surely the hot chocolate machine is something that cannot be missing in your bar. In this article we explain how it works and how to choose the right one.

Hot chocolate machine: how does it work and which one to choose?

The days of the classic jug in which to mix the ingredients by hand are long gone. Today professional chocolatiers are strictly electric, automatic and able to satisfy every need. There are various types of chocolate makers and each has its own particular use.

The hot chocolate dispenser is a chocolate machine made up of a transparent tank and a mixing blade that rotates continuously, avoiding the formation of lumps. At one end there is a tap that allows you to dispense and serve the chocolate quickly and easily. Usually this type of dispenser does not allow the cooking of the chocolate, which must therefore be mixed and cooked before being inserted into the tub.

The professional fountain bar chocolate maker, on the other hand, is designed to distribute the chocolate in a continuously moving fountain. Certainly more beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, it was created to make a scene, suitable for events, buffets and catering, or even just to attract customers to your venue.

Finally, the single-dose chocolate maker with bain-marie system is the most complete machine in production, allowing hot chocolate to be cooked directly in the machine’s container. The shovel inside, in fact, rotates perpetually so as not to burn the ingredients inside.

At this point all you have to do is choose the type of chocolate maker best suited to your purposes and needs.
