Deep and elegant cacao flavors. Quite intense.
For chocolate purists looking to immerse themselves in a cup of deep ebony richness. There's savoury biscuity base notes (ok, cookies), malty cacao mid tones and top notes of dark fruits. The robust structure and lingering finish leave an impression making it a masterpiece for connoisseurs of the dark side.

I love the 85% dark hot cocoa! A great way to help with the chocolate cravings while cutting down on sugar!
My new obsession. I take this with me on trips and it’s just so easy and delicious. The 85% dark is is not sweet, just rich and pure velvety chocolate.
Love all of the flavors I have tried so far. They come out so creamy and taste amazing. Glad I purchased this machine and enjoynlooking forward to trying all of the flavors.
I am truly a Hot Cocoa Connoisseur. I don't drink coffee, as HC is my morning cup of warmth.
Of all the Hotel Chocolat flavors/strengths, Dark 85% is my favorite.
The hot chocolate was a hit! The flavor and froth were off the charts! The chili surprisingly actually had a little kick and was overall delicious 😋 Will buy again
Your hot chocolates are absolutely lovely! And I’m grateful for being able to use oat milk and still have them taste so creamy and smooth; the chocolate doesn’t separate, and it’s excellent to add to a coffee. Thank you!
I love being able to get all the health benefits of dark, hot chocolate without a ton of sugar. If you like traditional, hot chocolate powder, this one is very different. So much healthier, doesn’t taste very sweet, but it is delicious!
The Velvetiser makes one 8oz serving at a time. That might sound smaller than your latte order, but trust us - it's the perfect size.
Is the Velvetiser compatible with US power & outlets?
Yes!
Whilst we're a British company, we made these Velvetisers specifically for the US market. They're built to work with 110V power and are fitted with standard US outlets - no ugly converters required!
How many servings can the Velvetiser make?
The Velvetiser makes one 9oz serving at a time, so everyone can enjoy their favourite flavour.
Can I use other chocolate in the Velvetiser?
Our hot chocolate flakes are carefully crafted to work optimally with the Velvetiser. Using other chocolate may not work properly and risks damaging the Velvetiser - for this reason it would invalidate your warranty.
What else can I do with my Velvetiser?
Lots! It makes a perfect chocolate sauce to serve with ice cream, a creamy ganache to top a cake with. Use it for a matcha or for silky smooth milk for your latte.
What if something goes wrong?
Your Velvetiser is covered by a no quibbles 12 month parts & labor warranty. If something goes wrong, contact our support team and we'll get your back in hot chocolate in no time.
