Aldi is selling a dupe of Hotel Chocolat’s £99 velvetiser for just £40

We all know that Aldi isn’t shy when it comes to creating incredible dupes for a fraction of the original product's price - even if it may land them in a bit of trouble.

For the hot chocolate fans out there, chances are you’ve heard about Hotel Chocolat’s popular velvetiser by now - but it doesn’t come cheap, retailing at a whopping £99.95.

If you’re not looking to part with that much cash, you’re in luck as Aldi has just launched its very own hot chocolate maker that rivals the Hotel Chocolat appliance - both in style and functionality.

Costing just £39.99, sweet-toothed fans can create dreamy, silky hot chocolates at home by the touch of a button.

If hot chocolate isn’t your thing, this clever appliance can also froth your milk up to 65°C to help you achieve barista style cappuccinos, lattes, cold brews or even milkshakes.

With a similar rose gold copper design, it’s perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your kitchen without having to spend a fortune - and with Valentine’s Day coming up, it’s the ideal gift for the chocolate lover in your life.

Aldi’s website description states you simply “choose a chocolate of your choice, such as grated chocolate flakes, and pour into the milk while the hot chocolate maker does the rest.”

The supermarkets 'Ambiano Copper Hot Chocolate Maker' is available online now, and in selected stores - but we predict it’ll sell out fast, so you better be quick.

Aldi isn’t the first supermarket to bring out a dupe of the popular chocolate maker. Last November, shoppers went wild about a budget Asda version for just £25 - and it’s still available to buy in a sleek black style now.

Don’t mind spending on the original? You can buy Hotel Chocolat's The Velvetiser Hot Chocolate Maker for £99.95 here.
