5 things to consider before buying a chocolate fountain

Before you go out and invest in a chocolate fountain, there are a few things to think about, to find the chocolate fountain that best suits your needs.

Since the chocolate fountain is often used for larger events, it’s important to think about the fountain's specifications, etc.

Below are a few points that can help you make that decision.

#1 Capacity

Before you buy a chocolate fountain, it's important to consider the tank's capacity and how many guests there are.

The larger the tank, the more chocolate it can hold for the guests. With a larger tank, you also avoid having to refill the chocolate so often.

We have everything from 200 ml to 700 ml so there are many options to choose from depending on how big the party is and how many guests it is for.

A chocolate fountain with a 700 ml tank can hold about 1 kg of chocolate.

#2 Cleaning

It is relatively easy to clean our chocolate fountains. Most loose parts are dishwasher safe, so they can easily be put in the dishwasher without you having to struggle with the chocolate.

However, we recommend scraping off the chocolate before putting it in the dishwasher, to achieve the most effective cleaning.

#3 Size

Most of our chocolate fountains have three tiers, which gives the chocolate fountain a nice height and just looks better as the chocolate flows down.

Our chocolate fountains have a height between 30-40 cm, which is a standard height for most chocolate fountains.

The larger the event, the bigger the chocolate fountain should also be, for the best experience with it.

#4 Functions of the chocolate fountain

Before you buy a chocolate fountain, it’s important to find out what functions the chocolate fountain has.

Most of our chocolate fountains come with both a keep-warm function and a heating function that you can read more about below.

Keep-warm function

One of the most important features in a chocolate fountain is its keep-warm function, which is as the name suggests, a function to keep the melted chocolate warm.

Without this function, the chocolate will begin to harden again after some time, as the chocolate was originally a solid mass.

Heating function

This function ensures the chocolate fountain warms up before use. Some may take up to an hour, while others can take a few minutes to heat up.

It’s therefore also important to know how long it takes for your chocolate fountain to heat up so that guests don't have to wait too long for it to warm up before they can use it.

#5 Stability

It’s important to choose a chocolate fountain with good stability, so it doesn’t risk toppling over.

Most of our chocolate fountains have non-slip feet, which allows it to stand on most surfaces without slipping.

Some of our chocolate fountains also have feet that you can adjust the height of in case the chocolate spills more on one side than the other.

How to use a chocolate fountain

It doesn't take much to make a chocolate fountain, so it's definitely something you can try out without having to fear ending up with a lot of hassle.

When it comes to dipping in chocolate, there are no limits to what you can dip in it.

You will need the following for the chocolate fountain:

• Chocolate - dark or white
• Various fruits - Strawberries, bananas, and pineapples
• Marshmallows
• Various cookies

1. Start by melting the chocolate in a bowl over hot water until the chocolate is completely melted. This will make operating the chocolate fountain easier.
2. Before the chocolate becomes completely melted, turn on the chocolate fountain so it can start warming up before you pour the melted chocolate in.
3. After you have poured the melted chocolate into the chocolate fountain, let it sit for a few minutes before you can see the chocolate flow down the tiers.
4. If the melted chocolate is unevenly flowing from the top of the chocolate fountain, you can either adjust the feet or place something underneath it to tilt it more to one side.

If you’re not that into sweet things, we also have other types of fountains like fondue.
