Velvetiser Hot Chocolate Maker

Velvetiser Hot Chocolate Maker Range in Copper, Platinum, Charcoal and White

Push button for hot chocolate

Plug it into the outlet and press the button to start.

The Velvetiser heats, whisks and gently crafts cloud-like chocolate perfection. In 2.5 minutes it will stop automatically and you can enjoy your hot chocolate immediately.

Don't froth, velvetise

You don't want a foamy hot chocolate, you want liquid velvet. Your Velvetiser is designed to gently heat, whisk and fold the melting chocolate into milk for the perfect cloud-like texture.

It is carefully programmed to deliver just the right temperature and whisking at just the right time for optimum results every time.

Ethically Grown Cacao

Most cacao is farmed by smallholders who struggle to make a living and resort to mono-crop farming that stresses the planet.

At our farm in Saint Lucia, we developed planet positive farming techniques - we call it Gentle Farming - that increase yield and promote natural biodiversity.

We share this knowledge with over 2,500 partner farmers, as well as the resources they need to implement it - like free saplings, labor support and training. Coupled with the 5-20% premium to market rates we pay for their crops, these techniques help them earn more from their work, which helps us spread more happiness through chocolate!

Perfect sipping temperature

The Velvetiser is fine tuned to slowly increase in temperature before holding at 158F.

This unique heating profile gives you a cup that's at the perfect temperature for immediate sipping with no scorched milk or chocolate.

Easy clean up

To clean, simply remove the whisk and clean in the sink. Rinse out the inside and wipe clean with a soft cloth.

European style hot chocolate

No more powdery sweet hot cocoa, European style is made with real chocolate flakes gently melted into milk.

There's no easier way to make it that with your Velvetiser hot chocolate maker.

  • One button operation

  • Perfect in 2.5 minutes

  • Patented anti-scorch technology

  • Quick & easy wipe clean

  • Icon of Podcup

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 domestic power?

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 8oz serving at a time, so everyone can enjoy their favourite flavour.

Why is high cocoa, low sugar so important?

The main ingredient in any chocolate product should be chocolate. All to often it's not, because sugar is cheaper and masks the taste of poor quality cocoa.

We believe you deserve better. We grow, roast and Velvetise the finest cocoa in the world so you taste the layers of nuanced chocolate flavour with less of the sugar.

How to I register my 12 month warranty?

Your velvetiser is covered by a full 12 month warranty. To activate it, simply head to hotelchocolatusa.com/velvetiser-owners-club and enter your details.

Can I use other chocolate in my 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.

When can I have a hot chocolate?

Whenever you're awake! You might try a dark hot chocolate instead of a coffee mid morning, enjoy a classic 70% as a pick-me-up after the gym or indulge in a salted caramel cup as an evening treat.

Can I get a bundle of hot chocolates with my Velvetiser?

Of course! The Starter kit is a perfect way to build your hot chocolate station, it includes a Velvetiser, 40 servings of Hot Chocolate and 2 cocoa-inspired pod cups.
