Brew Barista-Quality Espresso Drinks with the ESPRO 20-Ounce Toroid Stainless Steel Milk Frothing and Steaming Pitcher

Guillaume Côté: I have an old school stove top steamer and this pitcher truly makes it easier to get nice froth. Expensive for what it is, but I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon so it's not a huge deal.

Dan: Great for steaming milk. Great quality. Makes it a bit easier to get nice velvety milk for your lattes!

RC: The pitcher is well made. I purchased it because of its shape to help me to better froth milk but it is big, bigger than I needed. I used it only a few times and the froth is a bit better. I definitely need more practice to find the sweet spot for swirling milk since the shape does make a difference.

Jairalaine TrogoJairalaine Trogo: The media could not be loaded.  This milk jug is the best! I’ve been using the milk jug that comes with my Breville Coffee Machine but it takes a lot of time for me to learn the latte art using that. It’s always a hit or miss. With this jug, I always get the same perfect steam and whenever I pour my milk to my espresso, the outcome is always beautiful! It’s worth the money for me.

Shelley b: Great little pitcher, but, it is exactly that “Little”
Having said that, I must add, I do like it very much.

Derek S: Superb design creating ideal flow pattern for smooth stretched milk. I use a Motte which is one of the best but my technique was inconsistent. Espro eliminates the vagaries. Hoffman said ( some years ago) he struggled with it apart from steaming the but it was right first time for my latte art.

J Wong: For every multi buck expensive coffee accessory there is an endorsement or neato graphic that goes along with the product, none of which actually improve the results one gets. The Espro Frothing pitcher is the opposite of that. An understated yet brilliantly designed product that needs to be used in order to be appreciated. Most frothing pitchers require the end user to hit a specific 45 degree angle in order for the milk to circulate properly to both mix micro foam and heat the milk evenly.

The Espro pitcher on the other hand COMPLETELY re-engineers the process. Rather than holding the pitcher at some awkward angle, the Espro can simply be put on it's base to work properly. The Espro is designed with a dimple at the base that directs the flow from center of the pitcher outward where the cleverly rounded base circulates the milk toroidally. For the none engineers out there that merely means the milk circulates in a donut shape. This eliminates cold spots, promotes proper foam creation AND eliminates turbulences where milk can come spouting out of the pitcher creating a mess to clean up (like every other design I've used does.) All this brilliant design for $30. If I were...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Very fast ship, just spent five days to Thailand,I'm a home barista,my espresso machine is pro-consumer--Rocket R58 with dual boiler+PID,the stock steam tip is just 1.5mm two hole but so powerful (steamed milk in 12oz pitcher in 22 second).My frothing's skill is not to bad,I can make a smooth texture , wet paint ,a good and dense microfoam with my old tradition pitcher,but just want to test it .

Today I tested toroid pitcher , it make a good performance like density , stable ,smooth and silky , I think because of bell shape patented .it so mighty power ,can repeat and swirl milk again and again in the pitcher.

But I couldn't made a perfect microfoam everytime,in small amounts of milk, it seems hard to control strashing and swirling phase because of my machine is so powerful more than consumer machine.

I read at coffeegreek for toroid 's review,they explained with 12oz toroid,that perfect for consumer machine with using time to steamed milk around 45second or above,it can make a good microfoam easier than commercial machine with big steam boiler(I absolutely agree).the commercial and pro-consumer machine match with toroid 20oz size(I bought this same,I'll...

M. H. Key: You may not believe that the shape of this pitcher could make much of a difference, but believe me, it does. Using the Espro Toroid pitcher, we get perfectly foamed milk, every time. It works well with whole milk, but with 2% milk, the results are fantastic...velvety, perfectly textured microfoam. (We haven't tried fat free milk or soy milk yet.) We got the pitcher to use with our Breville 920 espresso machine (which we love) and it is the perfect accessory - good looking, nicely made and extremely easy to use. No practice necessary - from the first use the results have been great.

CrosswireCrosswire: I've made microfoam with a standard pitcher and know how difficult it can be

The pitcher is ice-cold, straight from the freezer
The milk is cold, 2% and froths fine if I stretch it and then dip the wand
You have to keep the wand off center to create the vortex effect that breaks up the large bubbles and then dip the wand further in
I don't use my thermometer these days as when it almost scalds my palm, I remove my palm and heat for 10 seconds more.
The Toroid pitcher changes all of this
The mid dimple just directs the steam to create the whirlpool and the milk forms microfoam almost by itself
The texture is just like it should, a sheen of 'wet paint effect:
Theres no need to keep the wand off centre, or check for the whirlpool
The pitcher is well made and looks beautiful
IT'S REALLY GOOD, WORTH THE PRICE
its worth it just for its craftsmanship, but it actually works,
My latte "art" is a lot better after I've used this, OK, I know, there's a long way to go, but I can sense the difference now!
