Product Details
Chocolatier Imagined - Our drinking chocolates come straight from the inventing room, where our in-house chocolatiers dream up incredible recipes that elevate hot cocoa to new heights, fit for grown ups. Extraordinary texture and unique flavors, this is chocolatier imagined hot chocolate.
Obsessively Engineered - our obsession for drinking chocolate set us on a two-year journey to develop the ultimate hot chocolate system. The result is a patent-pending whisk & internal ridge system works in harmony to deliver unparalleled microfoam texture. Designed in the UK, all in pursuit of the ultimate drinking chocolate.
Nature Inspired - from the Ash wood handle, to the iconic cacao-pod-inspired curves on the body, every part of the new Velvetiser takes inspiration from nature. Why? Because, as Andrew Wicks, the ceramicist we partnered with to shape it, said "it's the best designer there is".
Hot & Cold Drinking Chocolate - At the twist of the dial, you can switch the new Velvetiser between hot and cold settings. On hot mode, the hot chocolate maker heats slowly to 155-158 degrees - the optimum temperature for drinking chocolate. On cold, it cycles through a pulsing mix function to meld our innovative new cold drinking chocolate into milk.
Curated Bundles - Our Starter Kit selections hero our chocolate Love Match profiles, with both hot and cold recipes. If you're a fan of chocolate and fruit, you'll love the exuberantly fruity collection. Like to keep it dark and intense? The serious dark fix is for you. If you're not sure where to start, then pick the best sellers - they're favorites for a reason.
Set up your Hot Chocolate Station - This bundle contains everything you need to build out your drinking chocolate station. You get your Velvetiser hot chocolate maker, a curated bundle of 40 servings (4 boxes of 10) of drinking chocolate, 1 ceramic PodCup and a Pod Glass.

Nature inspired design
"There's simply nowhere better to take inspiration from" Andrew Wicks, Ceramicist
Nature Inspired Curves
Ceramicist Andrew Wicks cast the Velvetiser's striking form to resemble the curves of a cacao pod. Never quite symmetrical, the irregularities reflect the natural world.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean the Velvetiser?
Cleaning the Velvetiser is much simpler than you may expect! After the unit has cooled down and been unplugged, remove it from the power base, then:
- Take off the lid and remove the whisk.
- Using warm water, a soft sponge or rag, and a little bit of dish soap, wipe down the inside of the machine, the lid, and the whisk.
- Finally, wipe down the handle with a soft damp cloth.
- Make sure the Velvetiser is dry before putting it away.
How hot does the Velvetiser make hot chocolate?
When set to hot, the All-New Velvetiser heats your drink to 154 - 158 degrees, the perfect temperature to gently melt the chocolate and meld it into milk. It's hot and comforting, but not scalding, so you can enjoy immediately.
If you experienced the Classic model, you'll find the new Velvetiser is marginally hotter.
When set to cold, the milk you add to All-New Velvetiser will stay the same temperature as it was when you add it. Straight from the fridge is best!
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.
With up to 30 different recipes in the library, one at a time means that everyone can enjoy their favorite and at just 2.5 minutes beginning to end, imaking your drinking chocolate becomes a relaxing daily ritual.
Can I use other chocolate in the 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.
How many servings can the Velvetiser make?
The Velvetiser makes one 9oz serving at a time, so everyone can enjoy their favourite flavour.
What is the Velvetiser coated with?
The inside of the Velvetiser is coated with PFOS-free non stick coating to make it easy to wipe clean after using it.
