Fresh milk in coffee is a classic, but it’s a faff to handle: you have to think about refrigeration, shelf life and cleaning. Fully automatic coffee machines that use milk powder are the ideal alternative. Milk powder produces milk foam that holds its shape when stirred with a spoon, is easy to store and goes a long way – without compromising on flavour.

Answers to frequently asked questions about our milk powder
What exactly is topping and why is it useful? Our FAQs answer the key questions. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
What exactly is milk powder (topping)?
Milk powder is produced using a special process in which the liquid is removed from the milk. The result is a dry substance that we know as milk powder. The key advantage of this powder is its significantly longer shelf life and easier storage. When milk powder is used in a fully automatic coffee machine, water is added to the powder to restore it to its original state. When milk powder is used in a fully automatic coffee machine, it is referred to as a ‘topping’. For lovers of plant-based, vegan milk alternatives, there are now also oat-based toppings available, so that it tastes like oat milk. Lactose-free milk powder is also available, ensuring that as many coffee drinkers as possible can enjoy it.
How is milk powder processed in a fully automatic coffee machine?
Topping is specially designed for use in fully automatic machines to prevent it from clumping in the hoses. When selected, the powder flows from the container into a mixing jug, where it is mixed with water again. Technically speaking, the milk powder required for the coffee is processed in exactly the same way as, for example, cocoa powder. Different mixing speeds in the fully automatic coffee machine then ensure that the dissolved milk powder forms a delicious frothy head on top of the cappuccino or latte macchiato. This is in contrast to fresh milk, which is frothed using an attachment for the steam nozzle (cappuccinatore).
Can I use standard coffee creamer in a fully automatic coffee machine?
Coffee creamer is a commonly used alternative to milk powder. At first glance, the two powders are almost indistinguishable. However, unlike milk powder, coffee creamer also contains glucose syrup and fat. It is therefore not suitable for use in fully automatic coffee machines and could cause the hoses to become clogged. The protein content of our milk powder is higher than that of coffee creamer, ensuring a lovely frothy head forms when whipped. You should therefore always use a topping that has been designed for use in fully automatic coffee machines.
Are there any differences between the various types of milk powder?
Yes, we offer a wide range of topping options to suit a variety of requirements and taste preferences. The range extends from lactose-free options to vegan and certified organic products, as well as different levels of sweetness.

How does the yield of milk powder compare to that of fresh milk?
Stocking up on Topping powder is extremely efficient and space-saving: just 1000 g of our specially developed milk powder replaces around 10 litres of fresh liquid milk. This not only reduces storage and refrigeration costs for your business, but also cuts down on the frequency of refilling during the working day.
Does coffee with powdered milk taste just as good as coffee with fresh milk?
Yes. Modern, high-quality milk powder for professional fully automatic coffee machines consists of 100% milk ingredients. It has been specially developed to dissolve perfectly in the machine. The result is a stable, creamy milk foam that is in no way inferior to fresh milk in terms of taste or appearance. Depending on the dosage, the foam is slightly sweeter than fresh cow’s milk. Our service technicians will adjust the flavour exactly to your liking.
