Hotel Chocolat The Velvetiser

While it is specifically engineered to melt chocolate flakes into milk, it functions effectively as a milk frother. You can use it to heat and froth dairy or plant-based milks for lattes and cappuccinos, though it is optimized for the consistency required for hot chocolate.

The interior features a non-stick coating, making it straightforward to clean. Simply rinse the jug with warm water and a mild detergent immediately after use, being careful not to submerge the electrical base or the exterior in water.

Yes, the device is calibrated to heat your drink to the ideal sipping temperature of approximately 68-70°C (154-158°F). This ensures it is hot enough to enjoy right away without needing to cool down.

The Velvetiser is designed to work best with chocolate flakes, which melt into the milk to create a velvety texture. While you can experiment with other ingredients, standard cocoa powder may not yield the same smooth, barista-style consistency.
