    5.0 out of 5 stars Do you love Hot Chocolate? This is an essential buy for you!

I bought the machine while shielding & alone as a "cheer up" gift to myself. I thought perhaps the novelty might wear off but this amazing hot chocolate maker is still used daily and has become as essential as my coffee machine or kettle!Firstly the price, some have commented that £100 is too much for a hot chocolate maker, however this is less than a quarter of the price I paid for my coffee maker. For the price you get an amazingly well engineered machine (as you'd expect from Dualit who make the machine for Hotel Chocolat), plus two designer chocolate cups.Using the maker is really simple, add milk (incl almond or oat alternatives to dairy), add in a sachet of Hotel Chocolat (or required amount from their larger packs), then just press the button. In 2.5 mins the machine has heated the chocolate to the optimum temperature and whipped the chocolate into a unique light velvet texture.Some have commented that the machine doesn't make scalding hot chocolate, however that is the point, scalding hot milk destroys much of the subtle flavours a quality hot chocolate should have. If you need to have the drink so hot then there's no point in buying anything other than bargain supermarket chocolate as you are destroying the flavour.You can warm the cups (the instructions suggest this), although you can use hot water, I just put one empty cup in the microwave for 20 seconds while the Velvetiser is doing its magic.Onto the cups, I have arthritis so expected not to use a cup with no handle. However these cups, designed around the shape of a cocoa bean, have ridges around which make holding the cups really easy. Also they look amazing, are just the right size, and add to the special experience you feel when using the Velvetiser.After 2.5 mins the machine stops whirring and the light goes out and it's ready for pouring! I thought I'd miss that there's no beep to signal it being ready, that's about the only thing I'd want to add to the machine, but to be honest you are hovering by the machine waiting for your hot chocolat so it's not a problem. Pouring out is simple, the chunky handle and a small spout indentationon both sides mean is just as easy whether you are left or right handed.Before I discuss taste, cleaning is easy, the stirrer is a patented magnetic device which clips in and out and easy to rinse. Although you can't immerse the machine in water, you just need to rinse out the inside with warm water, maybe a drop of washing up liquid, then wipe dry. The exterior (copper was my choice) just needs a wipe to look as good as new.Now to tasting!!If you've had a Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate before, you'll know what to expect, if not you are treating yourself to the best hot chocolate you can buy There are many flavours and versions, standard hot chocolate comes in 50% (milky), 72%, 85% or 100% (really extreme chocolate taste!)Also a mint Chocolate, Chilli (surprisingly good even for me who doesn't like heat/spice), White chocolate with vanilla, Hazelnut, Salted Caramel. New this year are coffee lattes, plus Hotel Chocolat have seasonal specials, such as the amazing Clementine & Salted Caramel (which needs to be permanent!) You no longer get a pack of hot chocolate sachets with the machine. I recommend with the you buy a box of their assorted flavours (10 sachets in a box), as some flavours that you might not expect to like become your favourite!Being Hotel Chocolat, all of their products do not contain artificial flavour or colours, and they are a true ethical company. Some are Vegan as well as vegetarian (but like their Vegan Friendly chocolates you'd never know, which is the biggest complement you can pay!)Phew sorry it took a long review, but this machine, after six months, is still used daily and I absolutely love it. The Velvetiser is a premium product but well worth its price, looking as good as new despite repeated use.Likee the chocolate sachets & tubs, it is worth paying a little extra for the very best hot chocolate experience. (And farmers are paid a decent price) The number of five star reviews confirm this.If you love Hot Chocolate, definitely treat yourself to the very best, you deserve it!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect hot chocolate maker!!

    The velvetiser is a quality product that is straightforward to use, I chose the copper finish as it looks great!The unit is easy to use with a defined MAX level mark. Washing is easy the unit is simply filled with water to the MAX then with 1 drop of washing up liquid turn on and wait 2.5 minutes then pour away and dry.The one caution is the unit has to be attended - the instructions advise the unit not be left plugged in or turned on when not in use, seems sensible for most machines?It makes fantastic hot chocolate without burning the milk depending on your choice of chocolate. It is also possible to take your favourite bar of chocolate, grate it then add to the velvetiser.In truth any drink made with hot milk can be made in the unit eg Ovaltine, Horlicks, coffee etc.I rarely buy hot chocolate outside now as it is better to make it at home!

    I had been looking at a variety of velvetisers / milk frothers for some time, reas numerous reviews etc.. & didn't want to waste my time with a cheapy one.I already had an Bolo gift voucher so requested enough to enable to purchase this.I have tried it withWhittards luxury hot chocolateOptions instant hot chocolate (yep works well with milk !)& individual hot chocolate sachets.It only makes enough for 1 cup so if you have guests you will be repeating the process.Ideally you need to clean it as soon as you have finished using itMakes the drink lovely & hot & with a lovely smooth froth.A little tip from me heat your cup with boiled water first this will keep your drink hotter for longer.

    Very high quality product, on the expensive side, but worth itin my humble opinion.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I was expecting

    j. · 20 January 2022

    My family (except myself) are big hot chocolate fans - especially my eldest son, and we seem to spend a small fortunate on takeaway hot chocolates. My wife especially, loves the black forrest. We had been toying with buying one for a few years but could never really bite on the bullet on the £110 it costs. But came across it on Bolo, and was a pack that included the taster sachets and the porcelain mugs and could pay £22 over 5 months so seemed silly not to try it.The hot chocolates from this machine are delicious. Just the right temperature to drink immediately and it really is silky and like velvet. Using the Hotel Chocolat sachets is fairy expensive (thought much cheaper than costa) but we actually only use half sachets for each as we bought a full sachet a little rich for our tastes. We have also bought just chocolate bars, like cadburys or Aero, grated them up and they work great too. You just need the full 35g worth as they aren't concentrated like the HC official sachets.I don't really drink hot chocolate but I have been using this with Costa coffee powder from the supermarket and this makes a cracking at home silky brew.Bought another one for my mother in law and she loves it too.So it is fairly expensive what what is effectively a milk frother but however it works it doesn't make a difference and is you love hot chocolate and spend a lot of money on takeaways then this is worth a go and will pay for itself in the end.

    Gorgeous appliance and perfect chocolate

Its easy to clean and has gained a permanent position on my bench. Previous review flagged Aus incompatibility - its not a big deal. From the UK the electrical compliance is fine.. just buy an adapter to fit our powerpoints. Inexpense and safe. Another reviewer advised that we cant buy the Hotel Chocolate chocolate, and reading the instructions the manufacturer tells us to only use their porduct. But the mechanisn is very simple, and any locally available product works perfectly. You can get creative and make your own...I tried a popular chocolate orange from the supermarket and pulsed it in a food processor for a couple of seconds. Ta daaa! However if Bolo decides to stock the boxes of sachets, can we have the Black Forest - heavenly.

    Amazing hot chocolate maker

    This machine is so basic to use. It fluffs the milk and produces the best hot chocolate I’ve tasted in years. It was a birthday present, now I have to get another one!

    The best!

    The best milk warmer/frother!

    Makes fantastic hot chocolate

    J.S. · 22 April 2022

    Love this product. It makes THE best hot chocolate. My only complaint is that you can only make 1 cup/ mug at a time. It would be fantastic if it held enough for 2.

    Smooth hot chocolate

    u. · 2 May 2021

    This velvetiser does indeed produce the smoothest most velvety hot chocolate! So delicious! However, a massive negative is that additional sachets cannot be bought separately at the moment! Please help rectify this issue Bolo! Thanks in advance!
