Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser

What's the story?

The Velvetiser claims to be able to make barista-grade hot and cold drinking chocolate. Its secret? A vortex effect generated through inner-pod ridges and a custom whisk that folds chocolate into the milk with a turn of the dial. Inside the box you'll find the machine, a Podcup (for hot chocolate), a Podglass (for cold) and 10 single servings of different recipes.

Is it any good?
