Milk thermometer

Also known as milk thermometer · steam thermometer · termómetro de vapor

What it is and what sets it apart: Avoids scalding milk sugars. Differs from hand feel—great while learning.

What it’s for and how to use it: Clip in jug → steam to target → stop early (carryover) → clean probe.

Cup impact or benefit: Sweet milk without cooked smell. Teach others at home.

Technical notes: Fast response matters. Optional once you have feel.

Common mistakes: Aiming 70+ °C “just in case”. Dirty probe between milks.
