Know All About Stainless Steel Milk Pitcher

Two essential skills for any barista are milk steaming and latte artwork. Both are difficult to master especially for those who first begin. There are many milk jugs available on the market. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and designs. Given all the options, how can you choose which milk jug to use? It all depends on what you need.

Let's begin with the most important thing you should look at when selecting a milk jug. It is its width. First, a wide enough jug should allow steam to circulate in the jug. The whirlpool will help break down larger bubbles and produce micro-foam. You may be wondering what micro-foam is.

Micro-foam is made from milk that has been well-aerated, evenly heated, and produces silky smooth, shiny milk. This milk is great for making latte art. The majority of milk jugs come in one size, either 12 oz or 20 oz. You can find smaller or larger pitchers if your coffee shop requires them. When choosing your milk jug size, consider how much milk your beverage will require. 

Your pitcher should not be too full or too empty when it comes to milk steaming. You won't be capable of submerging your steam wand tips into the milk if it is too full. It will steam too much if it is full. The ideal amount of milk should be just below the base, approximately one-third of the way up the jug.

A pitcher made from high-quality stainless steel is best as it will maintain the right temperature while steaming the milk. The jug will heat up as the milk is steaming at 160°F/70°C. You can choose a pitcher made of stainless steel if you are uncomfortable with the heat.
