For those dreaming of a luxurious, barista-style hot chocolate at home this winter, a post-Black Friday bargain has emerged. Hotel Chocolat's coveted velvetiser, the device that transforms rich chocolate flakes into a silky-smooth drink, is still available with a significant £30 discount at several major retailers.
Where to Find the Velvetiser Discount
The latest model of the viral kitchen gadget was only launched in September 2025, making substantial price cuts rare. However, savvy shoppers can still avoid the full £149.95 price tag. Amazon is currently offering the velvetiser for £119.95, delivering an immediate £30 saving.
Alternatively, purchasing directly from Hotel Chocolat unlocks the same deal. By registering for the brand's free VIP.ME membership, new and existing members can buy the new velvetiser for £119.95. This membership also comes with a welcome 15% discount and 20% off in-store drinks.
Expert Verdict and Chocolate Flake Deals
In a review for The Independent, tester Mollie Davies praised the device, stating, "Without fail, each time I’ve used the all-new velvetiser, it’s delivered perfect drinking chocolate." She added that while it is "an expensive bit of kit, hot chocolate obsessives won’t regret it."
For those who already own the machine, Amazon has also reduced the essential companion product. Hotel Chocolat's classic milk chocolate flavour flakes are currently 10% off, down from £28 to £26.91. Appliance expert Rosie Conroy found the brand's own flakes delivered "rich-tasting results" in her testing.
Smart Ways to Save Even More
Beyond the standard discounts, an even better offer exists for those willing to commit. By signing up for Hotel Chocolat's 'drinking chocolate' subscription service, you can purchase the new velvetiser for just £109 – a saving of £40.
This subscription, available for six or twelve months, delivers two boxes of ten single-serve sachets to your door each month. Other retailers like John Lewis may also carry the product, and it's worth checking for any active Hotel Chocolat discount codes for further savings on gifts and chocolate.
The offers provide a perfect opportunity to secure a premium festive treat ahead of Christmas, proving that the best Black Friday deals don't always disappear when the day is over.
