A milk frother is one of the barista’s main tools.
A pitcher is needed to prepare coffee drinks with milk: freshly brewed espresso is added with milk or milk foam, whipped with a steam outlet (cappuccino/steamer). Metal is mainly used to make pitchers, due to the good thermal conductivity of this material. In particular, pitchers made of aluminum, ceramics, glass and plastic are found, but they are less reliable. Thermal conductivity is extremely important, since the process of preparing foam is directly related to controlling the temperature of the milk – it should heat up, but not boil.
How to choose the right milk pitcher.
First of all, pay attention to the thickness of the walls. Experienced baristas prefer pitchers with thick walls, because they heat up much more slowly, which allows you to whip the foam longer and control the temperature. Pitchers come in different volumes: from 120 ml to 1 liter, but for any volume it is not advisable to fill the milk jug more than half. The shape and size of the pitcher spout are of great importance, as they affect the formation of a thin laminar stream of whipped milk, which ultimately has a decisive influence on the beauty of latte art.
