Milk pitcher

Also known as steam pitcher · jarra de leche · milk jug

What it is and what sets it apart: A sharp spout and proper walls aid stream control—unlike any kitchen jug.

At the bar: Pick 300–600 ml by drink; fill ~⅓–½ before steam; wash after each use (protein).

Impact on the drink: Impact: free-pour precision and even temperature. Huge jug for a small drink = weak texture.

Technical notes: Mark fill lines. Don’t use a dented spout.

Common mistakes: Overfilling. Mixing milks without washing. Damaged spout.
