How to choose your milk frothing jug

Milk frothing jugs are available in different types, shapes, and sizes. Some have thermometers and come bundled with accessories. All are very reasonably priced. Some of the factors to consider include size, materials used, handle and spout among other things.

Size of the jug

If the jug is too large you won`t be able to get it under the frother wand. Too small and it won`t hold enough milk. The same considerations apply if you`re using a handheld milk frother. The jug needs to be large enough to hold the increased volume of milk when it`s frothed.

But also think how much coffee you drink and the amount of milk you use. For single servings you only need a small 300ml or less jug. If you`re making a brew for your partner, family and friends you`ll need a 600ml milk frothing jug at least.

What`s it made of?

Unlike other materials, stainless steel is capable of capturing and blocking most heat that the steam generates. It also promotes air absorption. A stainless steel jug is also able to maintain a constant temperature during the frothing process because it heats as your milk heats.

Apart from keeping the heat constant, the other reason to choose stainless steel and no other metal is because stainless steel jugs resist heat better. They can be cleaned with ease and they also do not ruin the taste of the milk.

Finally, stainless steel jugs just look great. They will fit in really well with whatever decor you have in your kitchen.

It`s all in the spout

Milk frothing jugs come in different sizes and designs but, unsurprisingly, they all have spouts. A spout helps to pour the milk to create coffee art. The shape of the spout can play a part in the art you produce. Or at least attempt to produce.

Thermometers

Thermometers are a really handy addition to any milk frothing jug. As you probably know one of the key things to getting great froth for your coffee and hot chocolate is to not boil the milk. The ideal temperature is around 60 degrees. Any hotter and it will be very difficult if not impossible to create the froth you need. Which is why a thermometer is such a handy gadget to have.
