Much better than my digital thermometer
I have owned this product now for about 4 months and it has been a great help to me in frothing milk for cappuccinos and lattes. I am a fairly serious cappucino junkie, Expobar machine, Mazzer mini grinder.
This product works best on my 20oz frothing pitcher, which I use most to prepare coffee drinks for 2-3 people. The clip holds well and it can be used unattended during the start of the steam process.
But, when I try to use it on my 12oz pitcher, it does not attach well because of the large clip on this thermometer. So it is less useful on this size.
In all, I love the analog display and the color coded areas. It very quickly gives you an assessment of how close you are to frothing (+140) temperature without having to read the display too closely.
Not perfect, but a good product.
Frothing Thermometer
Thermometer is essential for frothing. Unless you use same milk and and the same steam and milk temperature the most experience Batista will be 5-10 degrees off. Particularly temperature is important for latte art.
Before first use calibrate this thermometer (boiling water). You can calibrate with iced water but you more interested in 160-180 interval of temperature. Also clip is very nice as well as green -red range. I found this thermometer with help of lsdeal.com . Also I recommend to use: Rattleware 20-Ounce Latte Art Pitcher and Rattleware 58-Milimeter Round-Handled Tamper, Long Before buying tamper consult your manual for correct size.
Very helpful for learning!
I am new at espresso making, and having a decent thermometer is very helpful for learning to froth milk. Buy this and a decent frothing pitcher and you will be very impressed at how well you can froth milk, even on your first tries! (Assuming you have a decent machine, which is another issue entirely =)
