nice and easy to use and what a delicious result !!!

It's the best chocolate machine to have .I bought my Velvetiser chocolate machine and got the chocolate off here so easy to use,you just put the chocolate in say 2 smallspoons and fill sterilised milk up to the max,then push the button.

It’s a great product

I get it, it's all the hype. And I'm no huge fan of hot chocolate. But if you have the right chocolate, you will change your mind buying from well known retail brands. To put that into perspective, I got the velvetiser, wanted to buy the HC sachets but they were a bit pricey and thought sod that. Then I went and got aero mint (amazing taste), lindor and lindt, Cadbury... you name it. Grated it using a knife into small thin flakes and wow..... it taste amazing!Here's a break down:Step 1: Buy chocolate which can easily be melted and shredded. Put it in the fridge. Wait till it's solid.Step 2: Shread the chocolate around 40g or less. Pour the required milk (or less for more chocolatey taste) andStep 3.pour the shredded chocolate bit by bit.(do not put it all in one go or it will make a weird noise and won't blend). Then once all in, close the lid.Step 4: Sit back and enjoy :)Helpful tip: If your lid doesn't want to close properly and keeps pushing back up. Then rinse it, dry it thoroughly, and blow heat on it. The friction should then work with the rubber seal and velvetiser.I have tried so many different chocolates. But a word of warning. Very addictive!!The only reason some people are not being able to melt some chocolate is because of the flake size, not cleaning the base properly or too much milk!Genuine review and no bs. Hope that helps!Update:Couple of points to mention.- Dualit (sister company of HC) have released there own chocolat sachets! And guess what? It tastes the same as HC chocolate sachets!It's called.......drums roll........... Coco Canopy. Thank me later :)- You can use chocolate powder and not just flakes. Tried and tested and it works well!Click helpful to support this :)

It does make good hot chocolate, even if you just use chocolate powder instead of flakes…. well half a hot chocolate anyway!The liquid volume of the device isn’t that great, it will make you a small hot chocolate just under the the size of a latte glass… certainly not the mug of hot coco you were dreaming of. It can also be used to froth milk for lattes.It feels and looks (copper) well made, and has a nice weight to it. The handle works well for pouring. Also pretty easy to clean.It’s nice to have, but only if you can get it on a good deal.

The best part is the taste of the hot chocolate, once it's actually hot. That takes about three goes with this hot chocolate maker for some reason. It cleans on one go but can't heat the cold milk without a second and third go. The worst was that the description did not specify I would need an electricial adapter for the plug; what a disappointment when I opened the box upon arrival. Amazon KNEW I lived in the US but there was no indication I would also need to purchase an adapter, which I did promptly.

Brilliant. Makes it in a flash, perfectly. Looks cool too. Kids line up to make theirs
