Drinks

This drinks collection brings together German and Swiss favourites for hot mugs, cold glasses and flavoured milk. Alongside freeze-dried instant coffee from Jacobs and Tchibo, you will find Swiss Caotina hot chocolate in milk, dark and white chocolate styles, Kaba milk drink powders and Ovomaltine malt chocolate powder. The soft drink selection adds orangeade, mate and Spezi, the familiar German combination of cola and orange, while Tri Top offers a concentrated orange and mandarin syrup. The range gives British shoppers several continental alternatives to standard cocoa, squash, instant coffee and fizzy pop.

German and Swiss Hot Chocolate

Swiss hot chocolate powder, usually called drinking chocolate in British shops, is represented here by three Caotina varieties. Original offers the classic style, Noir is dark chocolate, and Blanc is white chocolate. Choose the version that matches your preferred chocolate flavour and use the powder to prepare a hot mug at home.

German Instant Coffee

Instant coffee, also searched for as soluble coffee, dissolves directly in water for a quick cup. Jacobs Krönung and Tchibo Gold Selection are German freeze-dried coffees, while Nescafé Frappé is made for iced coffee. Caro Landkaffee is an instant grain coffee powder, giving shoppers a grain based option within the same convenient format.

German Milk Drink Powders

Milk drink powders, often searched for as flavoured milk powder or milkshake powder in the UK, are mixed into milk to add flavour. Kaba comes in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry varieties, while Ovomaltine Classic combines malt and chocolate. Pick a familiar sweet flavour or a malty option, then prepare it as a milk drink.
