Where to Buy the Best Hot Chocolate Makers

    Back to Basics Cocoa Latte Hot Drink Maker
    Amazon.com  

I got one of these as a gift from one of my best friends, who knows I'm into chai and gourmet hot chocolate. I used it to make lots of foamy soy chai lattes and hot cocoa all winter long.

Everyone loves the Cocoa Latte hot chocolate maker. It mixes and heats for you, so all you have to do is pour in your ingredients and then set it and forget it. The 32 oz. pitcher is large enough to make hot cocoa for the whole family, but you can measure out a single serving, too. It's fairly compact (about the size of a blender), so it doesn't take up much counter space.

The Cocoa Latte automatically shuts off when the beverage reaches drinking temperature, but if you don't serve the hot chocolate right away, it will periodically reheat the beverage on its own. The handy hot chocolate dispenser is spill proof. Just flip up the spout lever to dispense hot chocolate right into your cup, without having to pick up the pitcher and pour.

It's so easy to use that the kids can make hot chocolate themselves and use the handy dispenser spout to serve themselves.

You can use the Cocoa Latte for so much more than hot chocolate. Make hot chai, spiced cider, flavored latte drinks, tea drinks, and more. And get the drink consistency you desire by using the optional frother setting.

*If you use the Cocoa Latte Hot Drink Maker for milk-based drinks, you might get build-up around the bottom of the pitcher. What worked for me is to wash it right away after each use, and to run the drink maker with soapy water in it.

If the words "drinking chocolate" instantly transport you to Angelina's or Les Deux Magots in Paris, a cafe in Italy, or to some other place where you had a life changing hot chocolate experience, then the Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker is for you.

The Bialetti hot chocolate mixer can handle shaved chocolate, chocolate chips, and drinking chocolate as well as powder. You just set the timer and walk away, and the auto-shutoff "ding" will sound when your hot chocolate is ready. There's an optional frothing attachment, but you may find that you don't even need it.

The Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker also has a "cold" setting to froth cold drinks, so you can get great use out of it all year round. This is the hot chocolate machine for your Valrhona and other premium hot chocolate ingredients. Don't forget a side of crusty bread for dipping.
