Know before you buy
The handleless design allows you to grip the jug closer to the center of gravity, providing more tactile feedback and finer control over the pour. This is particularly helpful when executing intricate patterns that require precise wrist movements.
The jug features an exposed stainless steel base that is not covered by the silicone sleeve. This allows you to feel the temperature of the milk directly through the metal as you steam, helping you gauge when to stop.
No, the Breville Pro Control Jug is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing the stainless steel body and the removable silicone sleeve with warm, soapy water to maintain the finish and material integrity.
No, this jug is not compatible with induction or any other stovetop heat sources. It is designed specifically for use with espresso machine steam wands.
The sharp, specialized spout is engineered to provide a consistent, narrow stream of milk. This precision is essential for creating detailed line-work and complex latte art designs that a standard rounded spout cannot achieve.
