Know before you buy
Yes, 12 ounces is the standard size for steaming milk for a single latte or cappuccino. It provides enough room for the milk to expand while leaving sufficient space to prevent splashing.
Yes, the thicker 1.3 mm gauge helps the pitcher retain heat more effectively than thinner alternatives. This stability gives you more time to texture the milk properly before it reaches the ideal temperature.
The pitcher features a precision-engineered spout designed to provide a controlled, steady flow. This makes it easier to execute detailed patterns like rosettas or hearts compared to a standard rounded spout.
The handle is double-reinforced for durability and ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand. Its design ensures a secure grip, which is essential for maintaining control during the pouring process.
The pitcher is constructed from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel. This material is highly resistant to corrosion and does not impart any metallic taste to your milk.
