BARISTA BASICS Steaming Thermometer (5in/127mm)

I gave it a 3 stars but if I go more precise I would give 5 stars for the top portion which is very easy to read, more precise than digital thermometers, and I love the green zone. However I'd give a 1 star for the crappy and dangerous handle that is not only super hard to adjust as you can see from the major cut it did to my thumb that took a a few weeks to heal, but the way it's made other than the super sharp edges like a cheap 1990-2000 computer steal case, it's that it keeps wobbling back and forth loosely, but also it's going to scratch both the bottom of ur pitcher but also the inner portion where the handle sits.

I wouldn't have mind to pay twice the price to get the same top but with a sturdy and safe rubberized handle that would STAY firmly in place and won't cut my thumb from touching the sides.

Simple little tool to help me dial in my milk. My steam wand is not very powerful, so having a tool like this has helped me to get a much more consistent milk texture and temperature.

Very useful

It’s a good tool to use for consistency on milk steaming.

I have nothing to complain about and it does everything that it needs to do. With it telling me the temperature of the milk it helps a lot with steaming milk a lot more consistently

Easy to read and helps me consistently achieve the perfect milk temperature for my drinks. Highly recommend if you're learning how to steam milk and achieve the perfect froth.

The color coding for temp ranges is a life saver.

Works perfect! They show you the perfect temperature for the milk!

Excellent and quick. Extremely affordable and a good buy.

Very cute thermoeter. I like the green and red zone for quick reading of temperature needed for mild. Look very nice too.

I never steam milk without it!

These used to be great thermometers. I used them for about 10 years in my shop. For the past three years or so, the quality gas dropped a lot! I order about a dozen at a time and now every one practically breaks within a month. They used to last 6 month to a year, each, in a busy coffeehouse.

Cool looking thermometer and it works well !
