As a hot chocolate fanatic myself and an owner of the OG Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser, I was super excited to find out that Hotel Chocolat had released an upgraded version.
While I indulge in a warm beverage during the cosy months, I love an iced drink all year round – and the all-new Velvetiser now makes that easier.
But if you’re anything like me, you might be wondering how the new model is different, and whether it’s worth the splurge this Christmas.
The All-New Velvetiser returns with an entirely refreshed look, with subtle ridged detailing and a slightly bulkier design, making it a little more of a feature in your kitchen. Available in three new, exciting colour ways – chalk, pebble, and pewter – you’ll be able to opt for one that fits your preferred aesthetic.
Retailing at approximately £149.95, the new model comes with improved functionality too. The upgraded, fluted design ensures your chocolate sachets no longer get stuck beneath the whisk, like the original product.
Arguably, the most exciting upgrade is the new option to make cold drinks. With just the flick of a switch, the All-New Velvetiser can now make deliciously refreshing cold beverages – though it is worth mentioning that for iced drinks, you’ll need to pour it over ice.
The new model comes with a Podcup and a Podglass so you can drink in style, as well as Hotel Chocolat’s new hot & cold drinking chocolate selection. Flavours include classic, mint, banana, mandarin & orange, and creme brulee.
In short, if you’ve got the budget, the All-New Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser is likely worth it if you’re a lover of both hot and cold drinks. If it’s warm, silky hot chocolates that make you swoon, then the OG is probably the one for you.
