Steaming and pouring latte art, is an essential element of latte making, but is heavily influenced by the coffee milk jug you use. Choosing the right barista milk jug from Dolo Coffee Supplies can help accelerate your results. Different milk jug designs offer different experiences when creating different latte art. Explore our variety of designs until you settle on a design that suits your way of making latte art.

What is a Barista Milk Jug?

Any coffee lover who wants to perfect their espresso-making skills to enjoy their favourite cup of coffee needs a pitcher. You cannot attain or perfect your latte art skills without investing in a quality pitcher. Whether you want to add a heart, tulip, peacock, caffeinated zebra, rosetta, or swan to your latte, you need the right milk jug for a coffee machine. 

A milk jug is a milk jug that you can use to steam and froth milk while brewing coffee. Also called a pitcher, most coffee milk jugs typically have a conical shape and spout that help steam and froth the milk to smooth textured milk. Additionally, most jugs have etched volume lines to help portion control the milk for the perfect latte. 

However, a barista milk jug can only yield a wonderful experience if designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. The milk jug is not just a container for your milk with the ability to control the position of milk you add to the coffee cups. Its design and materials also enhance the coffee-making process. 

For instance, the milk jug influences the quality of milk foaming and texturing. It needs to have a conical shape at the bottom to create a whirlpool effect that aids in the foaming of the milk. And keep in mind that well-textured milk is the foundation of latte greatness.

The material of the milk jug is equally essential. If you’re on the market for a coffee milk jug, ensure the jug is made of stainless steel, Teflon-coated stainless steel, cast iron, or similar hardy materials. Stainless steel is especially a good material choice as it can withstand corrosion, breaking, or leaking. Additionally, stainless steel is easy-to-clean.

Importantly, a thick-walled stainless steel jug will help retain heat induced into the milk through the steaming process and keep the temperature constant throughout the milk until it reaches 70°C. By enabling the milk to capture most of the heat, the jug also enhances the ability of the milk to absorb air and foam and retain the foam longer for silky smooth espresso, latte, or any other cup of coffee. 

You also have to give thought to the spout. A spout is not just an extension that allows you to pour the milk continuously into the coffee cup without making a mess. It has a significant influence on how well you create latte art. For instance, a long and narrow spout allows more precision while pouring milk than a broader and shorter spout. 

This is perfect if you’re trying to perfect your skills in creating simple designs such as a rosetta, peacock, or swan. On the other hand, a wider spout is great in perfecting the creation of rounder shapes such as tulips and hearts.

The handle also influences and affects your precision in latte art making. Generally, a wider handle allows for better grip, flexibility, and precise control over where you direct the pitcher. Whatever your preference happens to be, Dolo Coffee Supplies have got you covered.

The Importance of Milk Jugs

The importance of a milk jug in your coffee-making experience cannot be overstated. They are one of the most important coffee tools when preparing lattes. For starters, the pitcher is the main instrument for portion control. Remember that adding too much milk will dilute the coffee and take away from the lovely coffee taste that all latte lovers yearn for. On the other hand, adding too little milk will result in a bitter latte, a chore drink. Controlling the amount of milk in the drink is an essential part of milk jugs.

After preparing the milk, the spout on the milk jug allows you to pour frothed milk in a precise and controlled manner. Making latte art is not just a matter of dumping milk into the cup and hoping for the best. You need to precisely control where and how much milk goes into the cup while making the latte. Otherwise, your latte art will not be as good.

Milk jugs are also essential in ensuring the milk maintains the right temperature. They’re made of heat-resistant stainless steel, which allows the jugs to retain heat during steaming and frothing up to the ideal temperature of 70°C. If the milk loses heat rapidly, the foaming tends to disintegrate, making it difficult to break the remaining large bubbles.

Although milk jugs come in a wide variety of sizes, they tend to be large enough to hold the increased milk volume after frothing. For instance, a milk jug designed to prepare milk for one cup of coffee will have enough space to store the milk after frothing and expanding.

Milk Jug FAQs

What is a milk pitcher called? 

A milk pitcher is called a wide variety of names, including steaming pitcher, frothing pitcher, milk pitcher, milk frother, coffee milk jug, etc. All of these names refer to the same coffee-making tool.

What size milk jugs do baristas use?

Baristas need to make a lot of cups of coffee, oftentimes one after the other. As such, the typical milk jug will is about 12 oz., which is perfect for making between 1 and 3 drinks at a time. More experienced baristas who love serving multiple drinks in one go prefer to use the 20 oz. pitcher. Additionally, for better precision, baristas prefer pitchers with sizes optimised for latte art making while pouring latte art. 

What size milk jug do I need?

There’s no one-size milk jug that fits all users. The standard 12 oz. (about 600ml) barista pitcher is too big for home use if you only make one cup at a time. You’ll be wasting a lot of milk every time you make your latte, espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, or any other drink that needs frothed milk. Instead, buy a small coffee milk jug – a 36 ml pitcher will meet your needs if you only make one cup. However, if your household consumes two to three drinks every morning, a standard pitcher will suffice.

What jug is used to steam milk?

A typical stainless steel coffee milk jug is the perfect vessel for steaming milk. It’s essential that the jug has a handle and spout to enhance your accuracy, consistency, and control while pouring the milk.

What can I use as a frothing pitcher?

Use a stainless steel jug. Stainless steel is efficient in helping the milk retain its heat, which is especially important during the frothing process.
