Know before you buy
Milk proteins begin to break down and lose their natural sweetness once the temperature exceeds 150°F. A thermometer helps you stop steaming at the ideal range, typically between 140°F and 150°F, ensuring your lattes and cappuccinos remain creamy and sweet.
The integrated clip is designed to be universal and should fit securely onto the rim of most standard stainless steel steaming pitchers. It is adjustable to ensure the probe remains at the correct depth for accurate readings.
The dial features a highlighted visual zone that indicates the optimal temperature range for espresso drinks. This allows you to monitor the progress at a glance without needing to focus on specific numbers while you are busy managing the steam wand.
The probe is slim enough that it does not disrupt the vortex or the aeration process required for creating microfoam. As long as you position it away from the direct path of the steam wand tip, it will provide accurate readings without affecting your milk texture.
You should wipe the probe clean with a damp, sanitized cloth immediately after each use to prevent milk residue from hardening. Do not submerge the entire dial in water, as this can damage the internal mechanism.
