JM Posner SQ1 Stainless Steel Chocolate Fountain
£990.00(£1,188.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The JM Posner SQ1 is a freestanding electric chocolate fountain built for commercial food service use. It works by circulating melted chocolate continuously through a tiered column, producing a flowing curtain that guests can dip fruit, confectionery, or other items into. The unit is constructed throughout in 304-grade polished stainless steel, which makes it suited to repeated professional use rather than the occasional domestic event.
In service, the SQ1 maintains a consistent flow within a controlled temperature band, which is important for keeping chocolate at the right viscosity throughout a session. It runs from a minimum of 2kg of chocolate — useful for smaller guest numbers where waste matters — and holds up to 3kg for longer service periods without requiring frequent refills. For most buffet runs and dessert stations, that capacity sits comfortably within a typical service window.
From a practical standpoint, the unit offers several operational advantages:
- Simple tier assembly reduces setup time at the start of service
- Controlled temperature range helps maintain correct chocolate consistency throughout
- Polished stainless steel construction cleans down quickly between uses
- Compact footprint suits buffet counters, dessert stations, and event tables
- Five-year parts warranty provides reasonable long-term assurance for a commercial setting
The SQ1 runs from a standard 13A plug socket, so there are no specialist electrical requirements and no installation work needed. It simply requires a stable, level surface with a socket nearby. One practical point worth noting: chocolate fountains need a fountain-grade chocolate or a correctly thinned couverture. Standard bar chocolate is unlikely to flow correctly and can affect both performance and the condition of the unit.
The SQ1 is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels, and event caterers offering a chocolate fountain as part of a dessert or afternoon tea service, typically covering groups in the 20 to 40 person range. For venues running larger continuous events or higher throughput, a larger-capacity model is worth considering instead.
If you are weighing up whether the SQ1 fits your service format or expected guest numbers, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
How many guests can the SQ1 realistically serve during a single session?
The SQ1 is most comfortably suited to groups in the 20 to 40 person range within a typical service window. Its 3kg chocolate capacity supports a reasonable run without constant refilling, though for larger or continuous events where throughput is higher, a larger-capacity unit would be a more practical choice.
Does it need any special installation or a dedicated power supply?
No specialist installation is required. The SQ1 runs from a standard 13A plug socket, so it can be positioned on any stable, level counter surface with a nearby socket. There are no plumbing, ventilation, or hardwired electrical requirements to consider.
Does the type of chocolate used affect how the unit performs?
Yes — this is worth planning for before service. The SQ1 requires a fountain-grade chocolate or a couverture that has been correctly thinned, usually with a neutral oil to achieve the right viscosity. Standard bar or block chocolate is unlikely to flow properly at the unit's operating temperature and may affect performance or cause blockages.
