Sweater weather is here. It's perfectly acceptable to switch the heating on and snuggle up indoors as it turns dark and grey outside. It's possibly too soon to start talking about Christmas, but there's so much more to look forward to during the autumn and winter seasons - including indulgent hot chocolates.

If you've always wanted to buy a hot chocolate maker but find the devices a bit expensive, we have spotted a special offer where you can buy a best-selling hot drinks maker for less than £20. The Salter Chocolatier EK5134 Electric Milk Frother & Hot Chocolate Maker is currently on sale at Robert Dyas, now £34.99 down from £69.99 - a saving of £35. However, you can snap it up for even cheaper thanks to a Top Cashback deal.

TopCashback is offering £15 cashback to all new sign-ups. This means the price will be reduced to £19.99. This offer is limited to new members only. You must sign up to TopCashback before January, 20 2025 11:59pm to get the deal.

The handy device is perfect for making hot chocolates, creamy lattes and frothy cappuccinos. With 500W, it features a hot, cold and frothy milk function and has a 360-degree swivel base making it comfortable for right or left-hand users. It has a removable whisk and non-stick coating for easy cleaning.

The milk frother and hot chocolate maker has more than 270 reviews on the Robert Dyas website, 191 of which have been rated five stars. One shopper gave it a five-star review, saying: "Very good milk frother! The milk gets very hot and very frothy. Even oat milk! Very good purchase."

A second happy customer commented: "This little milk frother works a treat. Whisper is quiet and very easy to wash. I chose it to replace another one that was broken. The spout makes a huge difference. Very good quality build. Also, handy storage for the mixer unit or frother in the plastic lid makes good sense. I haven't used to make hot chocolate yet."

A third offered a cleaning tip for potential buyers, writing: "Arrived on time, only had it for a few weeks but it’s working great so far. Super easy to use and easy to clean. Would recommend leaving hot water to soak it immediately after use."

Not all customers were pleased, with one saying it stopped working not long after they bought it. They explained: "It stopped working after few uses." Another said the device doesn't heat the milk enough, adding: "Milk isn't heated sufficiently for my liking, so end up bunging it in the microwave. Makes it all rather pointless."

Elsewhere, Hotel Chocolat's Velvetiser is one of the most known chocolate makers on the market. It's more of an investment buy at a cool £99.95. Available in four colours (black, white, bronze and charcoal), the brand claims the device can create a 'barista-grade hot chocolate' in 2.5 minutes.

Other notable mentions include a Rafow Milk Frother Electric 4-in-1 device on Amazon for £34.95. Choose from dense hot milk foam, thin hot milk foam, heated milk, or cold milk foam to create customised drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos and hot chocolate.

You can also pick up this Maltesers & Galaxy Hot Chocolate Station on Amazon for £9.99. It contains four Galaxy and four Maltesers instant hot chocolate sachets.
