Hot chocolate season is upon us, and if you were hoping to get a last-minute Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Black Friday deal before the sales end at midnight tonight, we have excellent news.

The sell-out hot chocolate maker is still on offer with a handful of retailers, and we've got the scoop on where you can find the biggest savings.

With its innovative cold chocolate setting, stylish design and range of accessories, the all-new Velvetiser is certainly an impressive looking product. But with an RRP of £149.95, it's also one of the most expensive milk frothers we've ever tested – which might make you wonder, is it actually worth the hype?

We've had our hands on the Velvetiser since it launched in September and we've tested around 20 milk frothers and hot chocolate makers from other brands, too, so we can say with some authority whether it stands out against others on the market.

Is it worth buying a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser this Black Friday?

Available in three stylish colours, the all-new Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser has been constantly popping up on our social media feeds since its launch in September.

It's had some considerable upgrades versus its predecessor, like a cold drinking chocolate setting (ideal for hot days) and a more premium build quality, though it's still only suitable for single portions.

It comes with some accessories, too, including two cups (one ceramic, one glass) and a 10-pack of hot and cold chocolate sachets, so you can get started straight away without needing to buy any extras.

With an RRP of £149.95, it's expensive and if you want to make more hot chocolate for less, the ProCook milk frother (which has capacity for two drinks) might serve you better – though it's arguably not as good looking and doesn't come with any accessories.

In test we couldn't fault the quality of the hot chocolate, though, and every drink we made with the Velvetiser was silky smooth and perfectly combined.

If you're a dedicated hot chocolate lover, we think it's definitely worth the investment, and even more so now it's on sale. For more, read our full Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser first-look review.
