On trial: Dualit Cocoatiser™ Hot Chocolate Maker

The 5-star rated Dualit Cocoatiser™ delivers café-quality, velvety smooth hot chocolate, in less than three minutes.

Boasting a one-touch button – for easy use – a powerful motor and patented technology, the Cocoatiser™ is easy-clean, with dishwasher safe accessories (top shelf at 40 degrees). It's capable of creating hot drinks to suit your every whim – from hot choc’ to mocha, frothed milk, milkshakes, babyccinos and more.

Plus – unlike other hot chocolate machines – with Dualit there’s no need to buy same-brand chocolate, simply add your favourite flavour and get frothing!

Chocolate pieces, flakes, gratings, buttons, drops or powder! The Cocoatiser™ effortlessly whisks and blends all chocs into a rich, velvety drink to rival even the most luxurious of café-quality brews. Dualit recommends using pure chocolate only and no added ingredients (i.e. nuts, raisins, wafer, nougat, biscuit etc).

With a generous capacity of 250ml, the Cocoatiser™ is capable of whipping up a variety of coffee shop classics – from mochas to chocolate milkshakes and delicious frothed milk, perfect for cappuccinos, flat whites and lattes. Dualit has even added a sticker guide (on the back of the Cocoatiser™) recommending amounts of milk for your desired drink. 

1. Pour up to 250ml of milk into the Cocoatiser™*
2. Break up a few squares of your favourite chocolate & add 
3. Press one-touch button to whisk
4. Et voilà, a barista-blend, in less than 3 minutes!

*Tip: use cold, barista-grade dairy or plant-based milk. For a lower calorie option, mix with water.

Give it a quick rinse and wipe, then it's ready for your next cup. The Cocoatiser™ includes a dishwasher safe magnetic whisk and basket (top shelf at 40 degrees only) and is easy-clean thanks to the magnetic removable whisk, non-stick interior and automatic switch-off at optimum temperature (prevents milk burning).

Yes! I’ve had the luxury of trialling a handful of hot chocolate makers over the years. Dualit is unbeatable when it comes to design and durability. Not only is the Dualit Cocoatiser™ more affordable than some competitor brands but it’s easy-use, making it perfect for my budding baristas, aged 7 and 4, too.

And (unlike my kids) it’s mess-free and easy-clean – meaning we can go from ‘Maaaama, pleeeease may I have a hot chocolate?’ to tidy up time, in 5 minutes flat.

Most importantly, it’s delish! Much to my kids’ delight, the Dualit Cocoatiser™ has helped unleash my inner Willy Wonka, whipping up hot chocs galore – be it on cosy family film days or to warm up crisp winter walks – we've been busy conjuring up a medley of recipes and mixes from our favourite sweet shop brands. And my other half and I use it to froth up our flat whites.

Bound to inspire budding baristas and choc’ connoisseurs alike, the Cocoatiser™ is foolproof, delighting the senses with decadent, velvet-smooth blends that taste as luxe as they look. And with Christmas approaching, I feel Dualit’s Cocoatiser™ strikes the perfect balance of a personal and pleasing gift, too.
