Perfect Hot Chocolate

Not just a frother, every detail of the Velvetiser is crafted to create perfect European style hot chocolate. No more thin, powdery cocoa, this is silky smooth rich drinking chocolate.

Aztec Inspired Whisk

We're not looking for frothy chocolate milk, we want velvety liquid chocolate. For this, we took design inspiration from an ancient Aztec chocolate whisk called a molinillo to deliver a perfect texture every time.

Knurled Metal Handle

Taking inspiration from chocolate pots used by Kings of France, the Velvetiser's textured metal handle stands proudly to the side.

Coupled with pouring spouts on both sides, this makes for an ambidextrous pour with a satisfying weight.

Free Trial FAQs

Do I have to pay for the return shipping?

No, we will cover the return shipping fees with a pre-paid return label.

Can I return an item after I decide to keep it?

After the trial you won't be able to send the machine back on a whim, however you will get to enjoy our "happiness guarantee." If something isn't right, reach out to customer support and they'll everything they can to fix it.

I thought this was a free trial, why do I see a charge on my card?

This is not a charge on your card but an authorization. An authorization is verification with your card bank that the total amount of the order is available in the event you keep all of the items. This is similar to how hotels and rideshare apps place a hold to protect merchants from fraud.

Authorizations are typically labeled as 'pending' or won't have a date associated, indicating that it's only an authorization and not a charge.

Why do I see multiple authorizations on my card?

Different card providers have a limit for how long an authorization will be valid. If the trial period is longer than the authorization time limit, we will need to refresh the authorization. This involves canceling the existing authorization and replacing with a new one. This ensures we can process a charge for items kept at the end of your trial. We only hold one authorization at a time, but it may take 1-2 business days for canceled authorizations to disappear from your statement.
