An affordable alternative to the Velvetiser, which costs £99.95, the kitchen gadget from Aldi makes comforting and mouth-watering frothy hot chocolate from milk and your choice of chocolate in minutes.

Designed to create the perfect mug of hot chocolate at home, the Aldi Ambiano Copper Hot Chocolate Maker has quickly become a hit with savvy shoppers who’ve called it ‘superb’ and ‘a brilliant piece of kitchenware’ for ‘amazing frothy milk’.

‘I bought this just after Christmas, brilliant little gadget,’ one user wrote. ‘Me and my daughter haven’t stopped drinking hot chocolate, we love it.’

‘I was so happy when I saw this was back in stock,’ another five-star reviewer shared. ‘Just as good as the more expensive ones.’

A third raved: ‘Great little gadget. Mixes the chocolate and heats the milk to perfection.’

Others noted that the budget-friendly gadget also froths milk to perfection for a barista-worthy coffee at home. One shopper wrote: ‘Initially made a frothy coffee and was great then hubby used the second whisk, and my frothy coffee was next level.

‘Fab machine, and my son uses it for his hot chocolate. Would definitely recommend.’

To use, plug in and add chocolate of your choice, such as grated chocolate flakes, pour in the milk, press the button on the front and let the chocolate maker do the rest.

The whisk helps produce a velvety smooth drink while the appliance heats it to up to 65 degrees. The result? A thicker, creamier hot chocolate topped with just the right amount of silky froth.

And as for cleaning, that’s pretty straightforward too. Rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth to remove any leftover residue before rinsing again. Aldi recommends cleaning the lid and whisks in soapy water.

Whether you’ve been considering buying the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser, or want to upgrade your hot chocolate this winter, head to Aldi to shop the Ambiano Copper Hot Chocolate Maker before the kitchen device sells out.
