4100.0. "Cappuccino topping" by WOTVAX::WALKERD (David Walker) Mon Jul 15 1996 12:42

    Does anyone know what the powder that is sprinkled on the top of
    Cappuccino Coffees is and where I can get it (in the UK). I have tried
    cocoa powder but that is much too bitter.
    
    thanks
    
    David

	David, I'm not a coffee drinker, but wonder if the powder might be drinking chocolate? Just a thought Jackie
4100.3	Grounded cinnammon or cocoa	VAXRIO::63198::CSANTOS	Claudia Nogueira - CSC/Brazil	`Mon Jul 15 1996 15:50`	20
	David, Last time I went to the US I got a container with Cappuccino toppings, that actually brings cocoa and cinammon (you can use one or the other). They come granulated and you ground it (you can use those little cute salt/pepper thing you find anywhere). I don't know where you can find it in UK, but in the US we found it in those coffee stores (maybe it helps). Good luck Claudia

	Ghiradelli makes a ground sweet chocolate that goes very well with cappuccino. It's also available from Williams-Sonoma.

	Here in the UK I believe it is either powdered chocolate or cocoa as a rule. Sharon
4100.6	powdered chocolate	WOTVAX::WALKERD	David Walker	`Fri Jul 19 1996 08:43`	9
	Sharon, do you know if powdered chocolate is available in the UK - if so who makes it ? thanks David
4100.7	never really looked	KERNEL::LEYLANDS	Indecision: key to flexibility	`Tue Jul 23 1996 04:58`	13
	Hi David I have only ever seen it in those cappucino "kits" you can but in the supermarkets but then I have never really looked. I will try to remember to look next time I go to the cash and carry (they'll have it if anyone does). Would you like me to get some if I see any or just find out the price etc??? Alternatively, you could just use drinking chocolate but (IMHO) that is too sweet. Sharon

	Sharon, if you could find out the price etc that would be much appreciated. Thanks David
4100.9	no luck I'm affraid	KERNEL::WYETHS	Indecision: key to flexibility	`Wed Aug 21 1996 04:36`	11
	Hi David I did look but they only do huge jars of cappucino coffee (like tins of nescaf� etc) but with no topping - I presume then that it must me just drinking chocolate they sprinkle on top! Sorry, if anyone was going to sell it I thought they would! Best regards Sharon
