Review: I kind of hate that I love it - Bought this in deepest darkest second lockdown or something along these lines. It had been a while since I had bought a hot chocolate from the Hotel Chocolate bricks and mortar shop (close to the office), and my thinking up to that point had been, no way am I spending around £100 on a dedicated hot chocolate kettle when a pan and whisk will almost do the same job. But then I gave in and yeah it does a way better job than pan and whisk. Easy to clean (so long as you do it pretty soon after), smooth texture, perfect temperature, fast results. The only problem is that if you are wanting to make hot chocolate for .. lets say 3 people you have to do it one serving at a time, and that means the first person will either have no hot chocolate or almost completely cool chocolate by the time the last person is able to drink theirs. The instructions say that you can use whatever milk you want or even spring water. So you can use almond milk with the hazelnut sachet if you want something a bit nuts, or you can use bottled water and 70% cocoa if despite buying this gadget you are adverse to feeling joy. There is also a min and max fill line. I assume the min fill line is for if you want the rest of the drink to be coffee, that's how I used it but I don't recall it being said in instructions. Ultimately this gadget didn't get used twice then tidied into a cupboard and mostly forgotten about like certain other kitchen gadgets. I have actually used it almost as much as the toaster since I got it, but I don't buy that much bread. I do still kind of feel like it is an expensive single use gadget, but it is a treat and remains a treat.
Review: Decadent hot chocolate! - We’ve had this over five years now. It still works and remains in very good condition. We use it for hot chocolate and frothing milk. The hot chocolate is an absolute treat and very decadent. This is also made the perfect gift on special birthdays. With a large selection of colours you will find the perfect match. Paired with Hotel Chocolate hot chocolates and you’ve got a new addiction!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How size of drink does it make?**
A: The machine fills up EXACTLY one of the 220ml pod cups that come with it. 
I know this because I just used mine for the first time.
Very delicious!

**Q: Can you use other choc powders in this machine.**
A: Yes - I use Whittard hot chocolate power, works fine.

**Q: Is it worth the price tag?**
A: I bought mine from HC, under £100, came with the two mugs pictured.  Shop around.  The price tag is high, but it does makes the best hot chocolate.

**Q: Seems expensive  when i can just do it in a pan why bother?**
A: My personal opinion on this is the velveteen produces an unrivalled velvety texture. You are paying for the convenience of course, but the end product is well worth it if you are a chocolate connoisseur. Mix in a hit of coffee and it sends you on your way to a Happy Christmas in what can only be described as a shoddy year.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely beautiful chocolate
*by M***Y on 5 January 2022*

Brought this for a Christmas present for my wife. She absolutely adores it. So easy to use, just add milk up to the white line inside, add chocolate to taste, seal the lid and press the button and relax. Does all the work for you, blends heats and smoothes the mix to a perfect velvet cup of hot chocolate. Easy to clean too, non stick coating inside, so just swill it out with water and then literally a quick effortless wipe around inside for two seconds with a kitchen towel or wipe and it's clean and blemish free, really easy. Only downside is the chocolate to buy from hotel Chocolat is expensive £21 for 3 pouches with 7 cups max from each pouch. You can use cadburys or aero powdered chocolate, £3 average a tin, where you can get around 9-10 cups or so from this, but hotel Chocolat ones are nicer as made from pure chocolate flakes, but cadburys drinking chocolate tastes the next best it really is so nice. My wife is an NHS nurse and comes home stressed most days working through the pandemic, but she loves coming home to this and making herself a hot chocolate after a hard stressful shift. I love it too, when I can get to use it as my wife always is, so that's a good thing as shows how nice the drinks are. You won't be disappointed trust me, no hassle and blends it so well you get no bits at bottom of the nice porcelain mugs you get with it too.
