20 oz Gold Milk Frothing Pitcher | Barista Basics

New to lattes and cappuccinos at home? A milk frothing pitcher (also called a steaming pitcher) is the tool you use to steam and pour milk, and this Barista Basics 20 oz (590 ml) pitcher in gold is a solid first one. It's sized for one or two drinks at a time. One tip before you start: fill it only about a third to half full before steaming, because milk roughly doubles in volume as it builds microfoam.

The gold finish isn't just for looks. If you serve different milks, say dairy for you and oat milk for a guest, a colored pitcher makes it easy to keep them separated at a glance, no labels needed.

Why you'll like it

• 18/8 food-grade stainless steel with a 1.3 mm wall, heavier than budget pitchers, so the milk heats at a controlled, even rate while you steam.
• Precision pour spout gives you control for latte art, from a simple heart to more advanced patterns.
• Large reinforced handle that stays comfortable in your hand through busy mornings and holds up to daily use.
• Measurement lines inside the pitcher so you pour the same amount of milk every time and waste less.
• 20 oz (590 ml) capacity, right for one or two lattes.
