A world of velvet-smooth hot chocolate at the touch of a button

Make the perfect Hot Chocolate

Add Milk & Chocolate

The Velvetiser is designed so that everyone in the household can pick their own flavor. It's one serving at a time - about 9oz of your favorite milk (plant or dairy) and a packet of our hot chocolate flakes.

Press to Velvetise

Press the one button and the Velvetiser will start to heat, melt & whisk automatically. It's powered from a kitchen outlet, no need to preheat the milk.

Finely tuned operation

Inside the Velvetiser, the magic is happening. A carefully tuned 2.5 minute cycle heats, whisks and aerates, slowly bringing the temperature to a precise 155 degrees - perfect for sipping on immediately and highlighting the delicate flavors.

Melt into the Moment

After 2.5 minutes, the Velvetiser will stop automatically. Not scalding hot, it's at the perfect sipping temperature for you to enjoy immediately.

Get to know the Velvetiser

Chocolate, made for drinking

It all starts with a cacao tree

We believe chocolate should contain more cacao than anything else. That's why we've dedicated so much effort to helping improve the way it's farmed.

Through our gentle farming programme, we partner with over 2,500 farmers to promote sustainable farming techniques in return for above market rates for their crops.

What our Customers Say

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity of the Velvetiser?

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.

Is the Velvetiser just a milk frother?

While they may be distant cousins, the Velvetiser is very different to a milk frother in lots of ways. A milk frother is designed to create foamy volumous milk - not what you want in a hot chocolate. The Velvetiser on the other hand was obsessively engineered to create the perfect hot chocolate texture.

The whisk was designed to mimic a traditional hot chocolate whisk and the slow temperature increase allows for gentle melting & incorporation of the chocolate at exactly the right time. The result? Not a foamy beer-like head, but a velvet-smooth hot chocolate.

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.

This does not cover accidental damage, sorry!
