Milk pitcher

Also known as milk pitcher · milk jug · jarra barista · pichet à lait

What it is and what sets it apart: Spout and volume (e.g. 350–600 ml) set control. Differs from a glass—thin wall and sharp spout help.

What it’s for and how to use it: Cold milk → steam with thermometer/feel → swirl → pour. Size to drinks.

Cup impact or benefit: Silky microfoam = perceived sweetness and readable art.

Technical notes: Stainless; sharp spout. Don’t overfill.

Common mistakes: Boiling milk. Huge jug for one cortado.
