When does making a drink become more than just making a drink? When you have a nifty gadget of course!

Let’s be real… sometimes the little joys make the biggest difference. And if you’re a hot drink lover like me, The Velvetiser by Hotel Chocolat might just be your new obsession. It certainly has changed the game for me and t’s turned making drinks into something I look forward to, not just another step in the morning.

Don’t be mistaken: this isn’t just for hot chocolate (although I will say it makes fabulous hot chocolates). It would be great for cappuccinos and my personal favourite use is to create a barista-style morning matcha that feels like a treat. It’s easy to use, easy to clean and works quickly and effectively.

How to use…

All you have to do is fill up The Velvetiser with your milk of choice up to the line, add your powder and sweetener of choice, then switch it on. The machine heats it as well as whisking it up to frothy perfection. Even when I use skimmed milk, it still goes frothy and feels thicker and creamier. Within 2.5 minutes, your drink is ready for you to enjoy.

Just be sure to use powdered ingredients… liquid syrups or pastes may clog the whisk.

It’s compact, easy to clean, and genuinely fun to use. My only tiny gripe is that it only makes one serving at a time—so when I’m making drinks for two, I have to do a quick refill. But honestly? It’s worth it. It’s been such a handy little tool to elevate my hot drink routine. It’s not just about the drink: it’s about the moment. The Velvetiser makes it fun to slow down and enjoy the process again.

Are you tempted to give it a try? We’d love to know what drink you’d Velvetise first!
