Essential for crafting cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites and a variety of other coffees, milk frothing jugs are must-haves. Whether you are running a commercial operation or crafting coffee at home, you will need at least one milk frothing jug. Our range features diverse choices from the collections of leading brands such as Yagua, Motta and Tiamo. Giving you different sizes, shapes and colours to choose from, the Barista Shop range offers all the Milk Frothing Jugs that you will ever need.
What is a frothing jug?
A frothing jug is a metal milk jug into which you place the steaming wand of an espresso machine to froth milk for completing a variety of coffees. The jugs, also known as pitchers, are usually fashioned from stainless steel as this is a highly conductive and durable material that is easy to clean. Stainless steel also ensures that you can maintain a consistent temperature as you steam.
Which milk frothing jug should you choose?
Milk frothing jugs should be filled to just below the spout when frothing and so it is important to choose a pitcher that is the right size for the coffees you intend to craft. If your jug is too large, you will be steaming and frothing more milk than you need. In commercial settings, multiple colour-coded jugs will enable you to froth different types of milk and to quickly identify which jug you need. Alternatively, you could identify different jugs using colour-coded silicone handles which are also available here at Barista Shop.
What about latte art?
Many professional baristas enjoy getting creative with their coffees. It is possible to create a variety of patterns on the surface of a latte or cappuccino to impress the recipient. For simple patterns including hearts and tulips, a standard frothing jug will suffice. But to craft complex, detailed patterns such as swans and peacocks, you will find that a milk frothing jug with a narrower, sharper spout will yield the finest results.
