The Evolution of the Velvetiser
When Hotel Chocolat first launched the Velvetiser, it became a cult favourite (me included )for delivering barista-quality results at the press of a button. The newest model keeps that effortless magic and adds a crucial twist: with a simple dial you can create both a cosy cup for winter and an ultra-smooth iced chocolate for summer. That single change makes the Velvetiser a year-round indulgence that fits every mood. It really is a game changer for your kitchen!
What’s New—and Why It Matters
- Hot & Iced Functionality: Choose warmth or refreshment without compromising that signature, velvety texture.
- Elegant, Pod-Inspired Design: A sculptural body and tactile handle make it a countertop statement—no need to hide it away.
- Cacao-Flower Whisk: Designed to create a creamy vortex for consistently silky results.
- One-Touch Ease: Add chocolate flakes and milk, set, and sip. Precision without the faff.
In short, the new Velvetiser elevates everyday comfort into a small, daily luxury—fast, reliable, and undeniably delicious. It also looks stylish and comes in 3 different colours to suit your kitchen, pebble, pewter and white.
The Forgotten Ingredient: Organisation
The Velvetiser makes the drink effortless, but the joy is multiplied when your space feels calm and considered. Sachets, jars, spoons, and mugs can quickly clutter your counter; thoughtful organisation turns the moment into a ritual. A dedicated station keeps everything in reach and your kitchen beautifully composed.
