Yeah, it’s a bit bubbly and I don’t like the big blob of crema on the left of the rosetta, but I was reasonably stoked with the definition. Finally getting a hang of this thing …
What is that?!?
Millk jug with rubber to stop from burning your hands? (How do you judge when the milk is ready? Sound?)
That’s an amazing spout!
Is it specifically designed for the art?
So many questions…..

Hi Guthers,
It’s a handle-less milk pitcher, the rubber being to stop the ‘burnies-ouch’ factor. I just put my hand under the base to feel the temp (on the other side from the steam wand of course). Yeah, it’s designed for art, and you have brilliant control; however, the spout has taken a lot of getting used to. You have to pour much slower, or milk comes cascading over the ‘corners’ where the spout joins the jug. I’ve been using it for a while now, and just starting to get good results. I tried to go back to using a handled jug the other day and really didn’t like it.

I didn’t even notice the lack of handle!
Where did you get it from? I’m in the market for a more art-friendly jug…
Very cool.

I really want a 300ml one …
haha, this jug sucks and is not my friend. I have trouble enough without the spout egging me on to spill it over the egdes.
It amazes me how you can pull off such deadly art with it.
Cool jug and cool art too! Very fine leaves.
