Barista Basics Milk Steaming Pitcher

The 32-ounce pitcher is quite large and is primarily designed for commercial use or high-volume environments where you are steaming milk for multiple drinks at once. For a standard home machine, you may find it difficult to steam smaller quantities of milk effectively, as the steam wand needs to be submerged properly.

The thermometer features a 7-inch stem, which is optimized for the 32-ounce pitcher size. If you are steaming a smaller amount of milk, the stem may be too long to sit properly in the pitcher, potentially interfering with your ability to position the steam wand.

Yes, the pitcher is designed with a precision pour spout specifically shaped to control the flow of milk. This allows for the steady, narrow stream required to pour detailed latte art patterns.

The 18/8 stainless steel pitcher is durable and dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand washing the thermometer to ensure the calibration remains accurate and the seal stays intact over time.

NSF approval indicates that the thermometer meets strict public health and safety standards for food equipment. This certification confirms that the materials are food-safe and the construction is designed to be easily cleaned and sanitized.
