The Budan Milk Pitcher combines durability and style. With an ergonomic design, a precision spout and an elegant finish, it is perfect for latte art and elevating any coffee setup.
Crafted from stainless steel with an anti rust, scratch resistant finish, it is built to handle daily use. Steel also conducts heat quickly, which is what lets you judge milk temperature by touching the side of the pitcher. Stop steaming at 60 to 65 degrees Celsius, when the jug becomes too hot to hold comfortably.
The tapered spout is what makes latte art possible, concentrating the flow into a thin stream you can steer through the crema rather than spreading it too wide to hold a pattern. It also works well with a handheld milk frother if your machine has no steam wand.
Available in 350ml, 600ml and 900ml, in Silver, Black, Rose Gold and Gold. Fill the pitcher to about one third with cold milk and size it to the drink rather than buying the largest, since 350ml suits a single cappuccino or latte, 600ml handles two drinks, and 900ml is for serving several people in a row.
Rinse it straight after use while still warm, and hand wash rather than putting it through a dishwasher, particularly on the coloured variants. Pair it with an espresso machine that has a usable steam wand.
