Velvetiser

I'm thinking of buying a Velvetiser - I love a good hot chocolate. However, I'm wondering if it's one of those items that you use a few times then it's relegated to the back of the cupboard ? Your comments would be appreciated.

Used lots at the beginning then reverted back to using the microwave.

I’ve had mine two years and use it fairly consistently but infrequently.

We bought one in the hype, used it for a few months and it's been in a cupboard since, mainly because milk based hot chocolates are so calorific

Ours is used daily.

I use it a fair amount in winter

A lot in winter

Ours is used almost daily. Bought on the first 2020 lockdown, and so it’s been good value.

Use mine everyday but for oat milk, makes the nicest coffee!

We use ours a lot in the autumn/ winter but not really in the summer/spring x

IhearyouClemFandango · 18/08/2023 12:42

I bought one second hand and have used it a lot.

check qvc for pricing. They sometimes have a better deal.

Thecatisboss · 18/08/2023 12:43

Used a bit for hot chocolate but DH uses it for coffee everyday with oat milk as it makes fantastic cappuccino apparently.

Floralnomad · 18/08/2023 12:44

We use ours a lot in the winter / colder months and we’ve had it for a few years . I didn’t actually buy it though it was given to me . I also don’t use the Hotel Chocolat hot chocolates as we don’t like them .

Nagado · 18/08/2023 13:22

We use ours a lot in winter, although a friend of mine bought a cheaper version that froths cold milk too, which seems to be a little bit better to me. No regrets though because ours is very pretty.

cryinglaughing · 18/08/2023 13:24

I use mine frequently.
Unlike my air fryer that is languishing in the pantry 😕

namefornow88 · 18/08/2023 13:42

In the winter we use ours most days

Mumek · 18/08/2023 19:51

Thank you everyone for your comments, I'm going for it.

You won’t regret it!
I use mine daily as I love a hot chocolate. I’ve tried so many different types as I’m fussy and was fed up with the too watery/milky ones. I use barista oat milk and chocolate flakes from a local handmade chocolatier. You don’t just have to use the hotel chocolat ones. It’s my treat as I don’t drink coffee or tea!

hotchocdrinker · 18/08/2023 20:29

I use mine every day and would replace immediately if it broke!!

splishsplash3 · 18/08/2023 20:36

We use it a lot in winter

dearanon · 18/08/2023 20:48

Constantly. The hotel chocolat peppermint hot chocolate was a huge hit

nocoolnamesleft · 18/08/2023 20:54

I use it lots in the winter.

Abfab63 · 18/08/2023 21:32

LOVE mine. Wouldn't revert back.

howdoesyourgardengrowinmay · 18/08/2023 21:34

What does a velvetiser actually do?

Mumof4plusbonus · 18/08/2023 21:36

I love it. Put away for summer but this will hopefully be our 3rd autumn/winter with it and it’s used regular enough. So good.
