Product Information

Whether you’ve chosen our chic copper, sophisticated charcoal, or sleek white Velvetiser, you’ll be making your hot chocolate in the same way. Our expert found the the machine an absolute doddle to use and it was nice and quiet. It also performed consistently, crafting creamy drinks time and time again. This makes it ideal for dinner parties or family treats. In fact, a round of the salted caramel hot chocolate would make the perfect finale for any cold weather gathering. The Velvetiser Hot Chocolate Maker from Hotel Chocolat is the best machine to make delicious, smooth and luxurious hot chocolate. Since it's release in 2018, the Velvetiser has been in high demand ever since it's launch and we can see why as we gave it 5 stars in our Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser review. Yes! In fact, it's compatible with all milk alternatives, including almond, soy and coconut. No milk in the fridge? Plot twist: the machine can also be used milk-free. Just use 220ml of water with your hot chocolate sachet instead. Can I put it in the dishwasher? It would be ideal if the Velvetiser could be popped straight into the dishwasher, although the fact you can fill it with water and soap, turn it on and leave it to do the hard work for you definitely lessens the blow.

It’s also delightfully easy to use and clean.Choose one of our hot chocolate flavours. From classic 50% Milk Chocolate to Salted Caramel, we have a range of irresistible flavours to choose from.

Rich, creamy and decadent, why not indulge yourself with the ultimate in hot chocolate? On the topic of pre and post-workout elixirs, we’ve got to mention — you can also use your Velvetiser to make gorgeously chocolatey protein shakes. Use either our caffeine-free hot chocolate sachets or Chocolate Latte Sachets, which will help your shake provide you with that extra boost. The end result will be a half mocha, half protein shake — we’ll never say no to that! Indulge in the creamy, milky goodness you adore but benefit from an added dash of protein.

Unfortunately, it’s a no. In case you’re still tempted, the brand is unequivocal, saying you should “never put your Velvetiser in the dishwasher.” That also includes the removable whisk.
