TURN THE DIAL TO CHOOSE YOUR SERVE
Thermodynamic programming delivers hot and cold drinking chocolate at the turn of a dial:

RIGHT FOR HOT
Melds our real chocolate flakes at approximately 68 – 70 degrees Celsius, the optimum melting point for chocolate.
LEFT FOR COLD
Uniquely calibrated to pulse at the beginning, gently melding our finely milled real chocolate with pre-chilled milk.

PRESS, PAUSE, POUR
Add your single-serve to the Velvetiser along with pre-chilled milk or dairy alternative. Turn the dial – left for cold recipes, right for hot – press, pause, then pour.

DESIGNED FOR INTUITIVE USE
A LED-lit dial highlights your chosen serve-style, glowing red for hot and blue for cold. The Velvetiser also includes a removable whisk and solid ash handle for left- or right-handed pouring.

INSPIRED BY NATURE
Inspired by the shape of a growing cacao pod. Created in collaboration with Royal College of Arts ceramicist Andrew Wicks.

The Classic Christmas Sleekster

All our flavour profiles come together for a Christmas celebration in our Classic Christmas Sleekster – the perfect Christmas gift for those who like a bit of everything, or a conversation-starting centrepiece for festive dinner parties.

This collection of 28 chocolates offers a taste of all our flavour profiles – from tipples to zingy fruit ganaches, via decadent dark, mellow milk and smooth praline recipes – so there’s something for everyone.

Traditional chocolate types will delight in our Milk Spruce, Caramel Penguin, and our White Penguin made with 36% cacao butter for an astonishingly creamy texture. Drinks cabinet curators, meanwhile, are sure to be first to the Salted Espresso Martini with warming vodka, or our new ode to the Dark & Stormy cocktail where punchy rum and ginger mingle with zesty lime and smooth dark.

Bringing all-new boldness to this Christmas chocolate box are Triple Cherry and Triple Blackcurrant, each with three layers for a mighty fruit kick. No celebration would be complete without Champagne – we use the real thing in our Pink Champagne Supernova. Illegal Gianduja is the one for those who favour the smooth nuttiness of hazelnut praline. And Cinnamon Bun is the icing on the cake, with notes of warming cinnamon and fresh-baked bread intertwined with comforting caramel and whipped hazelnut.

Milky 50% hot chocolate sachets

 

Smooth, comforting – like sinking into a hot bath. This Milky 50% hot chocolate is crafted with real chocolate flakes and according to our mantra: ‘more cacao, less sugar’.

For our signature milk hot chocolate, we turned to our 50% house grade. With a high cacao content, it retains all the deeply satisfying notes in a profile that’s a touch more mellow than our dark recipes.

Each of these 10 Milky 50% hot chocolate sachets is designed to pair perfectly with the Velvetiser®* the complete system for hot and cold barista-grade drinking chocolate and precisely measured for your Podcup™. It’s as simple as adding your milk or dairy alternative alongside one sachet and letting the Velvetiser work its magic.

The real chocolate flakes and Velvetiser work in harmony to create inimitable cacao depth and velvet-smooth texture, topped with an unrivalled cushion of chocolate crema.

The secret? We call it the vortex-effect. The Velvetiser’s InnerPod ridges and custom-designed whisk meld the chocolate and milk while heating to the precise melting point for chocolate. While the whisk’s petals form ultra-fine air passages, the ridges them back condense down for that velvet-smooth texture.

Milky 50% is just one of many hot and cold drinking chocolates in our ever-growing library of recipes. From creamy Vanilla-White to single-origin Milky 50% Saint Lucian Island Growers. Or try something new with our revolutionary cold drinking chocolate recipes, from Banana to our Classic cold chocolate.
