Wider nozzle than the Essentials version

Metal jugs to feel the milk temperature

Froth and, if desired, pour gently over.

Do you recognize this when practicing latte art?

You have frothed the milk and want to pour a heart or a tulip. But one time the pitcher is too big for your portion and the next time the foam comes out thicker from the spout than you expect.

  • One size does not always fit

    A small amount of milk in a large jug feels different than the same amount in a smaller jug.

  • Foam comes out unevenly

    When pouring, sometimes thinner milk comes out first, followed by a thicker layer of foam.

  • No second pot ready

    You want to pour it in carefully, but you only have the pitcher you used to froth the milk.

Two sizes to practice your milk routine

With the silver Italian milk jug set, you get one 350 ml jug and one 500 ml jug. Choose the size that suits your serving and steam wand. You can froth the milk in one jug and then carefully pour it into the other. This can help incorporate the foam, but good steaming remains the foundation.

For which home barista?

For those who froth milk with a steam wand and want to discover which cup size suits their portion. Also useful for practicing pouring carefully.

What's in the set?

You will receive two silver Italian stainless steel milk jugs: one 350 ml and one 500 ml. Both have a spout and handle. Milk, cups, and espresso machine are not included. Keep a separate clean cloth handy for the steam wand, for example from the set of six coffee cloths. Wipe the steam wand immediately after frothing.

What does a second milk pitcher actually do?

By slowly pouring the milk over, you can better distribute thicker foam and thinner milk. Don't see it as a fix for improperly frothed milk. Start with a fine, even milk texture and then try whether a second pitcher helps your pouring.

Prefer the same Italian set in a different color? Check out the black milk pitcher set of 350 and 500 ml. If you usually use larger milk portions, then a separate silver Italian milk pitcher of 750 ml is an alternative.

A second pitcher can help, but good frothing remains the beginning.

    Choose your cup and milk portion

    Choose the 350 or 500 ml jug that suits your drink. Do not fill to the brim: milk needs room while steaming.

    Steam and pour off if necessary

    First, make a fine, even milk foam with your steam wand. Then, if desired, slowly pour it into the second pitcher and swirl briefly to blend the texture.

Frequently asked questions about the silver milk jug set

How do I choose between 350 and 500 ml?

Choose based on the amount of milk you want to froth and the space under your steam wand. For small servings, the 350 ml pitcher can be convenient; for more milk, there is a 500 ml option. Do not fill either to the brim.

Does this set fit my espresso machine?

The pitchers are intended for frothing milk with a steam wand. Check that you can hold the pitcher under your steam wand and have enough room to swirl the milk around. No specific machine brand is required.

What is the difference with the Essentials style?

We're here to help you get the most out of your water sports adventures. Below, you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

Will pouring over the espresso automatically result in nicer latte art?

No. Pouring again can help mix the milk foam, but it doesn't automatically fix poorly frothed milk. Focus especially on fine foam and a steady pouring motion.

How do I clean the silver milk jugs?

Rinse away milk residue immediately after frothing and clean the spout thoroughly. The supplier states that the Italian stainless steel pitchers are dishwasher-safe; washing them with warm water and a soft sponge is also fine. Let them dry.

Italian silver milk jug set of 350 and 500 ml

With this silver Italian milk jug set of 350 and 500 ml, you can switch between two jug sizes when frothing milk. The stainless steel jugs feature an Italian spout that is wider than that of the Essentials version. You can steam in one jug and then carefully pour the milk over before pouring your latte art.

Which size works best depends on your espresso machine, steam wand and milk volume. If you prefer a darker colour, check out the Italian milk jug set in black. A second jug is a useful aid when practising, not a replacement for good steaming technique.
