Product Information

We hope you’ll be delighted with your Podster and won’t want to part with it! However, we also understand that you may not want to keep your Podster, or something has gone wrong. You can drink your espresso straight if you like your coffee strong and punchy or add just-off-the-boil water for a longer Americano. Alternatively, those who enjoy a smooth and creamy latte are sure to appreciate the milk texture you can get with the Velvetiser… The Velvetiser

We pride ourselves on being an ethical company with a transparent supply chain. We source our coffee from small, sustainable farms where the farmers receive equal treatment and fair pay, so you can enjoy our coffee with peace of mind. Coffee Machines We should all be making an effort to live as sustainably as possible, including when it comes to coffee and coffee machines. Although these machines are great for our taste buds, it’s important to note that they’re not always great for the planet. Recycling For decades, CPSC has emphasized that the best place for a baby to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard. Today’s consumer warning comes several months after a different brand of infant loungers was recalled. CPSC continues to investigate the Podsters and Leachco is refusing to conduct a voluntary recall of the product.The CPSC had asked Leachco to recall the products, but the company has failed to do so, and the agency can’t force companies to recall products without taking them to court. The agency issued this warning but said it would continue to investigate the Podsters and consider other actions. If you use your coffee machine a lot, then descaling regularly can prevent severe limescale buildup. Perhaps you live in a big household, for instance, or have an office coffee pod machine that your coworkers use at different points throughout the day. Descaling your machine

You can get specially-designed coffee cleaning capsules that contain detergent to clean the inside of your machine. They look just like your usual coffee pods and you use them in the same way: pop a capsule in, press the button, and wait for the machine to dispense the liquid. Just don’t drink this one! What about the coffee grinds? A filter coffee machine heats water from the in-built reservoir and pours it into a filter filled with ground coffee. From there, the freshly brewed coffee drips down into a jug. The good thing about a filter coffee machine is that it keeps your coffee hot, so you have a jug of fresh, hot coffee to drink all day. How to use a coffee machine Using the same pod for an additional cycle will not produce crema a second time. This is due to the pod being compacted carefully.x Cashmere coffee pods – Ever-so-slightly sweet, Hotel Chocolat’s Rabot Estate Cashmere blend has hints of caramel crème and freshly-baked brioche for a mellow, soothing cup of coffee. Bring the café to the kitchen with Hotel Chocolat’s Podster Coffee Machine. Engineered to the highest standard by Dualit, this sleek, stylish machine will sit proudly on your countertop, ready to serve up barista-style coffee at the touch of a soft-press button. If you’re looking for a little something to enjoy alongside your delicious coffee, look no further than our Dunking Biscuits. Biscuits that have been designed for dipping, these are quite literally made to enjoy with a steaming hot coffee. How to make using a coffee machine sustainable

Brewing coffee like an expert is all about balance. You want to get the perfect ratios of coffee and water, just the right coffee grind, and beautiful extraction. Coffee pod machines, like the Podster, make the process simple and streamlined. By using ready-prepared coffee capsules and placing them in the machine’s chamber, all you have to do is push a button and wait for that heavenly aroma.About 180,000 Podsters have been sold. They measure between 71 and 75 inches in circumference and have dimensions of approximately 23.75x21.5x8 inches. They have a padded insert and a removable cover. The covers come in a variety of prints and are either 100 percent polyester or a cotton and polyester blend. The covers also contain an elastic center made of a nylon and spandex blend. Once you’ve found the blend that particularly appeals to your taste buds, it’s time to find the right coffee machine to make it with. When it comes to making a cup of coffee, there are plenty of different methods and gadgets available. From filter machines to instant coffee, we all have our preferred way of rustling up a cuppa. Our personal favourite way to brew coffee is with one of our very own soon-to-be-released coffee machine – the Podster. However, because balance is so crucial, any change can tip the scales and result in a less-than-ideal coffee. All coffee makers are sensitive to coffee oil buildup, calcium deposits, and ground coffee particles. Leave these to linger and you could end up with an espresso that tastes dull, burnt or bitter. Excess limescale can also impact your machine’s performance, and potentially damage it.

Please unplug machine and clear any debris from the filter plate and brew chamber. This is located inside the machine where we insert the Pods and using a small brush, such as a toothbrush, gently clean the area so it's free of built-up residue. Then close the lever and press button to dispense water to clean any remaining debris. Nothing beats a nice cup of coffee, does it? We simply can’t imagine a morning without a piping hot cup of the stuff. In fact, we can’t imagine an afternoon without it either – we’re coffee lovers through and through. The same goes for hot chocolate. You may notice that many hot chocolate powders are high in sugar and have a low cacao content. While these may be cheap and easily accessible, excess sugar masks the cacao bean’s layered notes. We use real grated chocolate for our hot chocolate pouches and single-serve sachets. And, as you might expect, that grated chocolate is high in cacao. Once you have your Podster and Velvetiser all set up, you can experiment with different drink combinations. Just be careful not to add anything other than liquid and hot chocolate flakes to your Velvetiser, as this may prevent the whisk from working to its full capacity.

Compact, easy to clean, and available in a range of colours to suit every home, the Velvetiser makes an excellent gift — or treat for yourself. Making the most of your barista gadgets As well as leading to coffee that tastes bitter, too much limescale can damage your machine or impair its performance. If you notice any leaks or strange noises, or if your machine doesn’t seem to heat up properly, it could need descaling. Two infants are dead, and two families are grieving,” says Oriene Shin, CR’s policy counsel for product safety. “Leachco must do what’s right and recall these products. When a company refuses to act, the CPSC’s warnings to the public are critical to keeping people, and in this case, babies, safe. Leachco should immediately change course, and if it doesn’t, the CPSC should take legal action to force a recall.” Once you’ve found your favourite coffee or hot chocolate, the Podster and Velvetiser make the rest easy. Home barista drink ideas Although our Podster is compatible with many other pods, for the best quality of coffee, we recommend using our Hotel Chocolat Rabot Estate Coffee pods. These have been especially tailored to suit the mechanics of our device.
