Product Description
The Ugolini Delice 5 is a countertop hot drink dispenser built around a single 5-litre polycarbonate bowl. It holds hot chocolate and other viscous hot beverages at a steady serving temperature and dispenses through a front-mounted tap — a proven, unfussy format that suits a wide range of professional hospitality settings.
In a busy service environment, the practical value of a dedicated dispenser like this lies in consistency and pace. Rather than preparing drinks individually to order, staff can draw from a ready, temperature-held batch and serve without interrupting other tasks. The adjustable thermostat allows the serving temperature to be dialled in to suit the product being used, which is useful when working with drinks of differing densities or sugar content. An overload protector helps guard against overheating during extended service periods — a small but worthwhile safeguard in continuous-use settings.
Day-to-day, the unit is straightforward to manage:
- Clear polycarbonate bowl lets staff monitor product levels at a glance
- Front tap dismantles for cleaning, keeping hygiene maintenance quick
- Compact footprint suits tight counter spaces and front-of-house displays
- Adjustable thermostat supports use with a range of hot drink products beyond hot chocolate
From an installation standpoint, the Delice 5 requires only a standard power socket and a stable countertop position — there are no water line or drainage connections needed, which keeps placement flexible. The 5-litre capacity is well matched to moderate service volumes. Operators running continuous high-footfall demand may find a larger-capacity unit better suits their pace of service and reduces refill frequency.
This model is a practical fit for cafés, coffee shops, hotel breakfast and lobby operations, leisure venues, and event hospitality where hot chocolate or a similar drink is a regular part of the menu. If you would like to talk through whether the capacity suits your service volume or how the unit fits alongside your existing drink offer, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 5-litre bowl is well suited to moderate service volumes — a café with steady but not continuous hot chocolate demand, or a hotel breakfast service running for a defined period. If your operation runs high footfall across an extended service window, you may find you are refilling more frequently than is practical, and a larger-capacity model would be worth considering.
- The Delice 5 is a countertop unit requiring only a standard mains socket — there are no water line, drainage, or gas connections needed. This makes placement straightforward and flexible, whether on a back bar, a service counter, or a front-of-house display position.
- Yes — the adjustable thermostat and bowl design make it suitable for other viscous hot beverages such as spiced drinks or cream-based hot drinks, not just hot chocolate. It is worth checking that the product you intend to use is compatible with batch-hold dispensing, as some drinks may not maintain their quality well over extended holding periods.
