Aldi's £39.99 version of the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser is our new favourite thing

Channel your inner barista with this stylish machine...

Move over coffee machines, there's a new sheriff in town. Forget your fancy vanilla oat milk lattes, these days it's all about creamy, chocolatey goodness. That's right, we're talking about a hot chocolate machine. These machines have gone viral over the last few years, all thanks to the iconic Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser.

Not only do these machines look super chic displayed on your kitchen side, but they also promise to make barista-grade hot chocolate from the comfort of your own home. However, with the £99.95 price tag, it can be quite an investment. That's why we were overjoyed when we saw that Aldi had their own hot chocolate machine, priced at just £39.99.

We've already ordered ours, and we can't wait to snuggle on the sofa, light our best luxury candle and enjoy a cup of delicious hot chocolate (with lots of whipped cream and marshmallows, of course). Our evenings have never looked better...
