SUBMINIMAL FlowTip Jug

There are some great things about this steaming pitcher. The gauge of steel is nice and thick, the tip is nice and fine, the shape is lovely for getting a nice vortex in the milk as you steam.

However, as a barista with small hands, the oversized handle is a challenge, as it seems to absorb a lot of the "wiggle" I need for a good Rosetta. As well, after two 5-hour uses and gentle handwashing (we don't have a dishwasher on site), the black coating is peeling off in large chunks!

This is compared to my Cream pitchers, which have been used and washed for over a year, and are just now starting to show signs of the coating coming off/scratching. I can't help but worry this is going to flake off into customers' drinks.

For the price I had hoped for better...I really wanted to like these pitchers.

The quality is better than I expected.
Though I have to grab it so hard or the rubber handle will come loose otherwise

This jug heats milk well. I prefer a jug with a wider mouth so i can spin the milk after heating to maintain a microfoam for flat whites. This jug if perfect for cappuccinos!

Great jug, stylish, practical. Worth it for sure.

Perfect for our chai latte!

I like my milk very hot. Depending upon how you choose to hold your milk pitcher this might be the one for you. The insulated handle is welcome relief from the heat transfer while steaming. I don't use a cloth on the handle of my other pitchers. Very fine pouring tip compared to most others I've seen. I've retired my other pitchers. It's my go to pitcher now.
