Now, you may have heard us raving about Hotel Chocolat’s Velvetiser quite a few times, but now it’s time for their latest invention - The Podster.
The chocolate brand has teamed up with Dualit to bring us its very first coffee machine, featuring a sleek matt grey finish with stunning gold detailing - it really is love at first cup.
The Podstar has been designed to sit alongside the brand's famous Velvetiser, and is compatible with Hotel Chocolat’s sustainable coffee pods as well as Nespresso pods.
The best part? When you purchase the coffee machine you’ll get 180 coffee pods for free in an exclusive early bird bundle - how good is that?
Hotel Chocolat's 'The Podster' costs £149.95, and you can complete the collection with the brand's choice of coffee mugs - our personal fave is the Hug Coffee Mug for £12.
They also have a deal on right now, which gets you two mugs for £20 when you mix and match.
It might seem a little strange for a chocolate brand to be branching out into the world of coffee, however, Hotel Chocolat has already made moves in the coffee world with its range of pods. However, the feature that really makes this machine stand out from other models is the ‘Podcyler.’
The Podcyler is a gadget that comes with every machine. It is designed to make it easier to recycle the coffee pads at home by eco-pressing the pods after use.
By eco-pressing the pods completely, it removes all the coffee grounds, so that the empty aluminium case can go straight into the household recycling. You can then even use the coffee grounds to enrich your garden or hot compost them.
Take your pick from the five unique coffee blends on offer, or go for a mixture so you can match your cup to your mood. There's even a strength-o-meter on Hotel Chocolat’s website to make it a little easier to choose your desired blend.
Now, back onto one of our favourite products of the year - the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser. If you've been after one of these beauties for a while, now's the perfect opportunity to pop it onto your Christmas wish list this year
.
And, if you're going all out, you can also purchase the a Velvetiser Kit for £15 less when bought with the Velvetiser itself.
The kits contain everything you need to create the perfect hot chocolate at home. We suggest going for The Everything Hot Chocolate Selection if you want to try out different flavours.
