Dualit Hot Chocolate Maker & Milk Frother - 250ml Capacity - Powder, Buttons & Grated Chocolate - Velvety Hot Chocolate in 3 Mins - Cordless Jug - Copper

My hotel Chocolat velvetiser broke after 3 years and I bought a karaca machine, but it was so bad, hard to clean and burnt my tongue. Finally decided to buy this one after hearing dualit also manufactured the hotel Chocolat one too. And it's amazing, I've missed having velvety hot chocolate! And my partner can make latte's again now! Whoop whoop! Heats to the perfect temperature as well. Love the extra accessories Vs the velvetiser too. Came with a few free chocolate packs but tbh I probs won't use. Appreciated all the same. Pricing was an absolute steal since I got an Amazon open box one but still looked brand new and unused, same day delivery too. Almost £20 saved and £40 Vs a velvetiser. Only suggestion is maybe lower pricing in general? And adding a handle would be nice.

Best thing I've ever bought, I think. Makes a lovely smooth hot chocolate, whether you use chocolate or powder (don't use too much powder or a lot gets clumped at the bottom/in the whisk bit. Use milk, rather than water, for a smoother hot chocolate). It's not too noisy, when in operation, finishes in a couple of minutes, and really useful. It does only make 1 cup at a time, but really ideal if you live alone

You get a surprisingly good drink, but if using block chocolate I find it does not all melt and build up on the plastic tray. The temperature is spot on. The only really bad thing is I find that we my hard water I get a lot of marks on the copper surface.

Cocotiser compared to Velvetiser produces a much hotter drink and smoother consistency. Marginally a better piece of equipment though the Velvetiser benefits from a handle improving grip. Cocotiser is a marginal upgrade on the Velvetiser though it is best to continue with the Velvetiser chocolate sachets for a luxury taste. Surprisingly Cocotiser is a cheaper option than the Velvetiser which prematurely failed. The whisk in the Cocotiser is more robust and has a viewing window to ensure drink is thoroughly mixed too.

Made by the company who produces the hotel chocolate velvetiser and comes with more features

This is basically the same as a velvitiser but a lot cheaper. Looks really smart on the worktop. The outside doesn’t get hot so no need to worry about no handle. Mine even came with a few sachets of hot chocolate beads.

Very impressed. Of course I was tempted by the Velvetiser but this one at £55 does the job just as well. It might have been nice to have the handle but not for an extra £40. Easy to clean and the temperature is good with a warmed cup.

This Dualit Hot Chocolate Maker looks identical to the Hotel Chocolat one apart from the handle on the outside, so I was excited to try it as its significantly lower priced - even though its still quite expensive at nearly £70.00 at the time of writing. Its a really nice looking product, beautiful copper finish and feels nice quality. It has a separate base that supplies the power and has a whisk and tray attachment that goes inside. There's a single power button to switch it on. It only makes one serving at a time, but only takes about 3 minutes to make. The chocolate comes out quite hot. I can't fault it as such, but I'm afraid I was a bit underwhelmed with the result. It wasn't particularly frothy, or anything especially spectacular. It was just Hot Chocolate. I'm not sure what I expected, but with all of the hype and expense of this type of machine I think I was expecting something really special. I used the proper Hotel Chocolat flaked chocolate and skimmed milk. To be honest I prefer the result of using milk from a Cappuccino frother and making it manually. I guess its easy, and automated, but a bit of a pain if there's more than one of you. After two uses, you need to cool it down for a minute by filling it with cold water before continuing which makes it even more slow. So in summary, I can't really fault it. Its a nice looking product that oozes quality, makes a nice hot chocolate and is a more price friendly alternative to the Velvetiser, but its just not exciting me that much.

Ho dovuto scquistare una presa italiana

I agree with the rest od the reviews. Is not compatible with US plugs or adapters. Should not be offered here. Or at least have a product specification that it is a euro plug. Very frustrating as these were purchased for Christmas and not able to be used. Will be returning. But did not help my christmas spirit!!

Achtung hat einen Stecker der nur in England genommen werden kann.

How could they sell this in the U S without mentioning the plug is incompatible? Now Amazon says it’s not returnable!!! I just spent a lot of money- bought two for Christmas presents. How can they not accept returns? BEWARE

This item came with a European plug and no adapter. I have no idea why it’s being offered in the USA. I have no idea why there’s no indication that a European plug in the details for the item.
