Product Information
Full details
The Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser in Pebble is designed for gourmet hot chocolate enthusiasts who want café-quality results at home. It excels at producing a rich, velvet-smooth texture and professional-grade chocolate crema through its unique vortex-whisking action. While it offers a luxurious drinking experience, users should note that it is a dedicated system specifically engineered for drinking chocolate rather than a multi-functional milk frother or coffee machine.

FAQs
Can I use the Velvetiser to froth milk for coffee?
The Velvetiser is specifically engineered to emulsify chocolate flakes. While it creates a foam, it is intended to be used with the drinking chocolate sachets for the best results.
Is the cup dishwasher safe?
No, the Velvetiser cup should be hand-washed to protect the motor components and the finish of the ash wood handle.
What happens if I use water instead of milk?
You can use water, but the texture will be less creamy. Dairy or plant-based milks provide the best results for a luxurious, velvet-smooth mouthfeel.
How many sachets are included?
The system comes with a selection box containing 10 assorted hot and cold drinking chocolate sachets.
Can I use other brands of hot chocolate powder?
The Velvetiser is optimized for Hotel Chocolat's finely shaved chocolate flakes, which melt and whip into the specific texture the machine is famous for.
Troubleshooting
The machine does not start when the button is pressed.
Ensure the cup is correctly positioned on the base and that the power cord is fully inserted into both the wall outlet and the base unit.
Drink is not sufficiently blended or lumpy.
Ensure the whisk is securely snapped onto the drive shaft before adding ingredients. If the issue persists, ensure you are adding the milk before or simultaneously with the chocolate sachet.
Overflow during whisking.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line marked inside the cup to prevent the vortex from causing an overflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Place the Velvetiser on a flat, dry surface. Ensure the whisk is securely attached to the drive shaft inside the cup. Connect the base to a power outlet and ensure the cup is seated properly before pressing the start button.
Compatibility
This system is designed to work with all Hotel Chocolat drinking chocolate sachets. It is also compatible with most dairy milks and plant-based alternatives like almond, soy, or oat milk, though the consistency of the froth may vary slightly based on the fat content of the milk chosen.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After each use, detach the cup from the power base. Wash the inside of the cup with warm, soapy water. Avoid submerging the base or the electrical contact points in water.
- Maintenance: Do not use metal utensils inside the cup as this may damage the whisk or the interior coating. Rinse the whisk petals thoroughly to prevent residual chocolate buildup.
