Milk Frothing Pitchers

Spout shape and volume, in that order

A milk pitcher is bought for two reasons: how the spout pours and how much milk it holds. A sharp spout gives a narrow stream for latte art; a wide one is easier to use for a flat white but blobs earlier. Volume matters more than it looks — a 600 ml pitcher with 150 ml of milk is hard to control because the milk sits below the spout, so most bars keep two sizes and pick by drink. The pitchers here are 304 stainless with measurement marks inside the wall, which is what lets you stop guessing the fill line and start repeating a result.

• Volume for the drink, not the jug you happen to own
• Internal marks so the fill is repeatable
• Spout shape — sharp for art, rounder for volume pours
