Know before you buy
Yes. The 1.3mm stainless steel construction provides excellent thermal stability, and the ergonomic design offers the control needed to practice and refine your pouring technique.
No, this pitcher is not stovetop or induction safe. It is designed specifically for steaming milk using an espresso machine's steam wand.
We recommend hand washing this pitcher with mild soap and warm water. It is not dishwasher safe, as high-heat cycles can potentially damage the finish over time.
Yes, the markings are etched directly into the interior of the stainless steel. This ensures they remain visible and won't wear off, allowing you to measure your milk accurately every time.
The 12oz size is ideal for single lattes or cappuccinos. It provides enough room for the milk to expand and swirl during the steaming process without overflowing.
