12 Oz Stainless Steel Frothing Pitcher by Update International - Perfect for Making Delicious Lattes and Cappuccinos

churchlady: Pitcher holds the advertised 50 ounces. Looks cheap, feels cheap, however is completely functional. I bought the lowest cost option and that is what I received.

sheilar redinger: I purchased this milk frother at a discounted price for my home coffee brewing system. This is a great product for the price. My only complaint is that if your wand on your espresso maker is not long enough, you have to be careful of how much you fill this. This is the perfect size for about a 12-16 oz coffee. If you are wanting to make a larger one, you would want to purchase a larger cup to froth your milk in. I love that it is all metal, and the handle is plenty sturdy as well. I usually know when my milk is ready judging by how hot the outside of the cup is. Be careful tho, as it does get extremely hot on the outside and could potentially burn you. I think if it was double-walled this would be prevented, but for the price, its not going to have a double wall. I also love that the pouring spout works amazingly. My last one when I would try and transfer it into my cup, the milk would drip down the front of the milk cup spilling everywhere and wasting away! And this one seems to do a great job of only pouring where you tell it to! The steel material is holding up very well and I have had this for just under a year. The only thing I wish is that I could set it in my espresso maker...

K. T.: Prior to ordering these pitchers, I read the reviews thoroughly noting that many people gave varying testimonials in regards to the true size of the pitcher displayed, as well as the best sized pitcher to get a good foam. So keeping in mind I am new to the 'cafe-at-home' thing, here goes my opinion...

After measuring out 12 ounces of water and pouring it into the pitcher, yes, the pitcher is a full 12 ounces... all the way to the brim, as other reviewers have mentioned. So if you are looking to foam a full 12 ounces of milk (for those who do not know, the milk will expand with foam as it is steamed, so do not fill all the way to the top prior to steaming - you will get a mess), get the larger size, but truthfully I don't think you'll need it. Most of the traditional sized at home coffee mugs are roughly 8-10 ounces, so unless you are trying to fill a 16 ounce travel mug with just steamed milk (no espresso), this 12 ounce pitcher will work just fine. While some people have mentioned that they use the larger pitcher for two people, I can only attest to using this pitcher for two people once, and I used small cappuccino style mugs (~3-4 oz mugs). With this method things came...

Thomas A. Oehser: OK, I've had this for about 5 years, and saw the other 2 reviews, which to me are both misguided.

First of all, a review should review this product in comparison with others of the same genre. A review shouldn't be of whether you want the product in the first place. You should be reviewing this AS a steaming pitcher, not whether one needs a steaming pitcher in the first place. And, you can't steam the milk in the mug for making something like a cappuccino with latte art, etc. I steam the milk in the mug for my daughter's hot chocolate, sure. But for many drinks, you must have a steaming pitcher. So, presuming one knows one wants a steaming pitcher in the first place, it is totally unfair to ding THIS one because it IS a steaming pitcher.

Second of all, there are steaming pitchers available in 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, 24oz, 32oz, etc. Rating the 20oz pitcher 3 starts because it is "too small" is bizarre. The review should review the *quality* or *value* or *durability* of the item. The review should compare it with *other 20oz pitchers*. PLUS, I don't get this - a standard cappuccino cup is only 6oz, this pitcher is EASILY big enough to steam milk for TWO of them. If you're...
