Know before you buy
Yes, the 12oz size is ideal for single servings, such as a standard latte, cappuccino, or cortado. It provides enough room to froth milk without overflowing, though it may be too small if you are regularly steaming milk for two drinks at once.
The 1.3mm stainless steel construction provides excellent thermal mass, which helps maintain a stable temperature while you steam. This thickness prevents the pitcher from heating up too quickly, giving you more control over the milk's texture and preventing it from scalding.
The spout is specifically tapered to provide a controlled, steady flow of microfoam. This design is well-suited for beginners and intermediate baristas looking to practice patterns like hearts, rosettas, and tulips.
Yes, the pitcher is made from durable 18/8 food-grade stainless steel and is completely dishwasher safe. For the best longevity, we recommend a quick hand wash to prevent any potential water spotting or surface dulling over time.
While the handle is double-reinforced for durability, it is still made of stainless steel and will conduct heat. It is designed to be held comfortably during the steaming process, but you should always be mindful of the temperature if you are steaming for an extended period.
