Shoppers at Aldi have been raving about the budget supermarket's new SpecialBuy item that costs just £39.99 - with some comparing it to luxury brand versions.
Everyone knows no trip to Aldi is complete without heading to their infamous 'middle aisle' section, which has shoppers eagerly awaiting new items.
From hanging egg chairs to hot tubs, Aldi's SpecialBuy items have regularly been praised by shoppers - but this week it's an Ambiano Steel Hot Chocolate Maker that shoppers are raving about.
Liverpool Echo reports this hot chocolate maker has been the talk of the town amongst Aldi shoppers who have given the product five reviews and "highly recommend."
The hot chocolate maker is designed with an automatic milk frother and heats up to the temperature of up to 65°C.
According to the product description, the hot chocolate maker has a milk frothing capacity of 150ml and a milk heating capacity of 300ml. It also comes with three operating modes; froth milk, heat milk, froth cold milk.
Several shoppers have flocked to Aldi's website to comment their praise for the new item that they have described as "great."
“Tasty. I've compared this to the brand name version and performs just as well for over half the price. used a range of chocolates as well as a dairy free hot chocolate. each turn out perfectly creamy at the right temperature and all the chocolate melted. Highly recommend" raved one impressed shopper.
A second wrote: “Great. Only used a couple of times so far but tasty hot chocolate in just a few minutes. Good value for money in my opinion."
A third wrote: ""I would 100% recommend this to everyone.”

One shopper added: “Great! Couldn't afford the real hot chocolate maker so bought this dupe version. Seems to work just as well. Hot chocolates are hot, tasty, creamy, luxurious.
