Hotel Chocolat The Velvetiser

The Velvetiser is specifically engineered to fold real chocolate flakes into milk using its patented vortex design. While it may work with other ingredients, the machine performs best with high-quality chocolate flakes to achieve the signature velvety texture.

The Velvetiser heats the milk automatically during its 2.5-minute cycle. It reaches a consistent temperature of 155-158°F, which is the ideal range for a barista-grade hot chocolate.

Yes, you can use the Velvetiser to create iced beverages. Simply add your milk and chocolate flakes, then add ice to your glass before pouring the finished drink over it.

Cleaning is straightforward. You can rinse the jug with warm water and a little mild detergent, but be careful not to submerge the base or electrical components in water. The removable whisk should also be rinsed thoroughly after each use.

The Velvetiser has a 10 oz capacity, which is designed to produce a single, generous serving of hot or iced chocolate.

Yes, the machine works well with various plant-based milks, such as oat, almond, or soy. Results may vary slightly in texture depending on the fat content and protein structure of the milk alternative you choose.
