Imagined And Brought To You By A Chocolatier
Still in use today in South American households, the molinillo is centuries old, designed to be held loosely and rotated by rubbing the palms together, creating a beautiful silken froth. The Velvetiser recreates this exact motion, quicker and with far less sweat on the brow.
We spent 12 months designing the perfect hot chocolate machine with Mayan engineering in mind to create the Velvetiser.​
The chocolate needs to be melted to a precise temperature to melt the cocoa solids and cocoa butter, before being whisked and folded into
the liquid, perfectly velvetising the drink.
