What’s in the box

- Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate taster pack – 10 single-serve sachets of real chocolate flakes, each holding the perfect amount to make one Velvetiser serving. There are 10 flavours for you to try: Salted Caramel, Hazelnut Praline, Orange, Mint, Ginger, Chilli, Vanilla-White, Milky 50%, Classic 70% and Dark 85% Suitable for vegetarians.
Silky-smooth hot chocolate at the press of a button
If you’re a devotee of this most tastiest of drinks, you’ll be used to slaving over a hot stove, slowly heating milk and stirring in cocoa powder, watching it like a hawk so it doesn’t boil over, trying to find and remove any non-dissolved clumps… there’s none of that fuss or mess with the Velvetiser. You just plug it in, add your chocolate and your milk (dairy, plant-based or even water, if you prefer), and press the button. In two and a half minutes you’ll have a perfectly blended, silky-smooth hot chocolate, ready to pour into one of the Podcups, or your favourite, just-for-me mug.
Easy to pour, easy to clean
The comfortable handle is easy to hold, the cordless jug lifts off its base so there’s no flex in your way, and there’s an easy-pour spout on each side so you can decant your drink with ease whether you’re right- or left-handed. And the non-stick interior and removable whisk make it easy to clean too – just rinse and wipe.
Drinking chocolate refills
When you’ve tried all the sample sachets, you can use any high-quality drinking chocolate flakes, grate real chocolate into the Velvetiser, or order more of your favourite flavours direct from Hotel Chocolat.
About hot chocolate
Drinking chocolate has been a ‘thing’ since the Mayans and, after the Spanish brought the ‘magical’ ingredient back to Europe, it wasn’t long before cities like London had hundreds of drinking chocolate houses.
About Hotel Chocolat
Founded in 1993 by Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris – two entrepreneurs on a mission to make chocolate exciting again – Hotel Chocolat was an early internet sensational, wowing fans of ‘real’ chocolate with their carefully crafted confectionery-by-post. Their first retail store opened in 2004 and, since then, the company has gone from strength to strength, fuelled by the world’s love for high-quality chocolate. Hotel Chocolat now owns and runs its own cacao farms, cafés, restaurants, a real hotel and has stores worldwide.
About Dualit
Dualit was born out of one man's passion for invention, well-engineered products and hard graft. Max Gort-Barten came out of the British army after WWII filled with engineering ideas, and started his business in Camberwell. One of his earliest ideas was the Dual-Light electric fire, which gave the company its name, but it was their now iconic patented toaster that caught the public’s attention. Still specialising in toasters, Dualit’s product line now includes a range of small electrical appliances, from kettles to hand mixers and countertop ovens. Now run by the second and third generations of the family, Dualit stick firmly to Max’s principles of reliability and durability: no frills, no gimmicks, no compromise, just great products.
