Hotel chocolat velvetiser

[SweetPeaPods]

Anyone with a velvetiser, how do you store the chocolate sachets? The boxes are getting out of control and taking up loads of room.

To be honest, I usually use Options chocolate in mine. It is a lot cheaper and lower calorie. I pop in a little milk and fill the rest with water, yum!! I I bought the HC sachets regularly I would probably just pop them in a decent size plastic tub with a lid

I buy tins of Charbonel hot chocolate flakes and use that.

How many boxes do you have?!

Ours just live in the deep kitchen drawer underneath the velvetiser (in their boxes).

Is the velvetiser a wonderful thing then? Does it make options taste nicer?

Over £100?!

It’s on offer on QVC today

Good deal on QVC for it today.

I bought one yesterday. HC was too rich for daughter but I loved it. This morning i made milk and poured in some dissolved coffee, was yum!

Christmas present idea for DS1, thank you! not the expensive one, but a cheaper alternative.

Brilliant Christmas present idea for OH. And the QVC deal is ace.

How is it better than a microwave?

It stirs and heats and doesn’t beep at you or smell of reheated curry

I got a couple of the hotel chocolat tubs and now I use lids of them to hold the sachets

(It makes beautiful hot chocolate)

It's essentially a very good looking milk frother. I love mine

I love ours. Try putting a glug of the chocolate cream liqueur in it. Yum

Waiting for mine to arrive from the QVC deal. Watched this thread for international chocolate ideas ie lower calories.

How much was it on the QVC deal?

I believe it was £84.99 but came with 20 sachets and 2 pod cups

How much was it on the QVC deal?

It’s back up to £105 now although still includes sachets and mugs and there is a £10 off code

Are they worth it?
Would it be as good to buy a frother elsewhere?

What was the QVC deal? I really want one.

What was the QVC deal? I really want one.

It appears to be over now as it’s up to £105 which is still a good deal compared to buying direct and there is a £10 discount code with QVC.

This was the deal. It was £84.99

Velvetiser

I'm told this is essentially the same thing but at a fraction of the price. The velvetiser is also made by dualit: www.johnlewis.com/dualit-milk-frother-black/p231706525
