Chocolate Fountain Info
All of our chocolate fountains are made in the U.S.A. The American Chocolate Fountain is constructed of food grade stainless steel, perfect for cleansing in commercial dishwashers, and meets the highest standards when it comes to durability and sanitation.
The durability of our fountains is unmatched. Some Chocolate Fountains use plastic augers, which can wear over time, but the American Chocolate Fountain contains a stainless steel auger that will withstand heavy use. We do not use a pump, which must be completely disassembled to be cleaned and and can only be used with chocolate syrup. The stainless steel auger design of our chocolate fountains permits the use of solid chocolates and the ease of fast clean up.
With solid chocolates there is a much wider variety to choose from. Use your favorite brand of chocolate chips, or purchase chocolate in bulk. We offer chocolates from Callebaut of Belgium and Guittard of San Francisco along with a few exotic chocolates, like orange, lemon, and strawberry.

- Why is the chocolate
only flowing to one side of my fountain?
It is important that you level your fountain BEFORE you pour in the chocolate. The feet on the bottom of the fountain are adjustable. Screw the feet up or down to level the fountain. Use a level placed on the top tier , first left and right then front to back to check the accuracy of the adjustment.
If you have already loaded the chocolate check to see which way it is flowing, adjust the legs accordingly until the chocolate flows correctly.

only substance I can use in my fountain?
