MHW-3BOMBER Milk Frothing Pitcher 12oz Milk Frother Cup Espresso Steaming Pitcher Stainless Steel Milk Frother Cup Barista Latte Art Round Spout Milk Jug, Black P6007MB-OS

Closer to 5 stars than 4 so I rounded it there.This is a great pitcher for latte art, for those who know what they're looking for. There are lots of thoughtful little design details that make latte art pouring easier and more fun.Now remember, no pitcher will magically make your latte art better. If you aren't consistently steaming silky smooth milk (90%-95% of the battle for beginners), it doesn't matter what pitcher you use, you won't be able to pour any quality latte art. In latte art, pitchers are like paint brushes. Most of it still depends on the artist's painting skills. But once the artist gains more experience, they will begin to see where a certain brush would be more useful and learn how to maximize the benefits of each brush. So it is with pitchers.This particular one is my first product from this brand. Previously, I had two stainless steel pitchers, a 12oz and 20oz. Both of those had slightly sharper spouts compared to this pitcher, which will allow for finer detail. However, I find that this pitcher is a more versatile one for overall use, and I find myself going to it most of the time.Some of the benefits of this pitcher might have been lost in translation, so I'll try to share my thoughts on the ones that are most useful to me.1) Diversion Trench: They may have been talking about the spout here, but one of the more unique and most useful features of this particular pitcher is where the spout ends. There aren't many other pitchers like this. There's a divot where the end of the spout meets the wall of the pitcher. This allows you to get closer to the surface of the "canvas" when you pour.What does that mean? Right after you lay your base, when you're starting to pour your design, that's often the trickiest portion for beginners for patterns which require you to get close to the center of the cup, instead of the edge. Most home espresso machines have steam wands that only best fit 12oz, maaaybe 16oz pitchers. Most people also are working with 6-8oz latte cups, so 12oz pitchers are easiest for steaming the respective amount of milk. 12oz pitchers often can't give you an easy angle to reach the center of the cup while also bringing the spout very close to the surface of the canvas (spout proximity). This is because for typical 12oz pitchers, the edge of the cup you're pouring into usually runs into the spout of the pitcher. It requires various workarounds, which do require more skill and control and may limit some designs, or transferring to a larger pitcher. Now transferring has multiple other benefits. But when you're a home barista and want to do less dishes, staying in one pitcher allows for an easier workflow.This particular pitcher has that slight divot mentioned earlier which, in many cases, lets you rest against the edge of the cup and reach further in than most other pitchers. It's hard to really appreciate until you actually physically try it out with a cup. I had a "wow" moment the first time I tried this. This is useful in combination with the next design feature:2) Slant edgeThis is a common design feature seen in higher quality milk pitchers. So it's not as unique as the previous feature, but in conjunction with it, it allows for further reach. Same idea as above. For many patterns, you want to be able to reach the center of the canvas while maintaining spout proximity.3) Turbo PrincipleI think this just refers to the bottom of the pitcher. It's not flat, but there's a slight elevation in the center. This supposedly helps in forming your vortex while steaming milk. I think this would be more appreciated on machines that don't have strong steam power. It also depends on your steaming technique and preferred pitcher angle/position. I didn't see a huge benefit for this personally since my steam wand is quite strong, but I can see how it could help. Forming a proper vortex is crucial in integrating air and milk while breaking down bubbles to form that silky microfoam.4) Handle designAllows for multiple grips. I didn't see a huge benefit here but that's because of my grip style. I can see how it'd really help. I do like how the handle is thicker than those cheap steel pitchers, so it doesn't cut into your fingers as much (e.g. for pen style grip).5) Thick wallsI personally like this for comfort. But those who are used to feeling the temperature of the pitcher as a gauge during steaming will need to adjust. It's not a con. I read some reviewing it as a con. It just requires simple adjustment.Those were some of the most useful design features to me, which showed me how much thought and care went into this design. Now, it's not a perfect pitcher, and going back to the paintbrush analogy, it won't be the best picture for every use case. My particular pitcher came with some chips at the spout. Through normal usage, more chips appeared there. So it might not be the best quality control. Also, sometimes I want a finer spout tip for more detailed designs like sharper rosettas, or a longer spout trench for free pouring (most animal designs). But it's still overall a very good pitcher and at this price point, it's hard to beat. I'm quite happy with this purchase. Hope this review can help shed some light on what some of these design features are and how they might impact your workflow and latte art pouring. Latte art has a very steep learning curve, but it's so much more rewarding when you see those baby steps of progress. Keep it up everyone!

Excelente calidad, hermoso diseño y muy eficiente al momento de cremar la lecheEl color es mucho mejor de lo que esperaba

Great pour cup for my needs. Wanted something to make my coffee in so I can pour it into my 19 ounce coffee cup that won’t fit under my coffee k-cup machine.

This milk frothing pitcher is a must-have for any home barista! The 12oz size is perfect for steaming milk for a single cappuccino or latte, and the precision spout makes it easy to pour smooth, detailed latte art.The stainless steel construction feels sturdy and well-balanced, and it’s easy to clean after each use. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the sleek, modern design looks great with my espresso setup.If you love making lattes, cappuccinos, or macchiatos at home, this is a high-quality, reliable frothing pitcher that won’t disappoint. Highly recommend! ☕✨

Amazing

This little 12oz size and round spout is perfect for steaming a small amount of milk for a 6oz cappuccino and creating little to no milk waste, but the best part about it is the handle, and the recessed spout. I have small hands, and the way the handle is shaped allows me to place my pinky against the indentation to create more control when pouring. It’s such a nice and ergonomic addition! I ended up ordering this again in a larger size because (both the 12 and 15oz) because I like it so much. The recessed area of the spout (where it dips into the body) allows me to anchor the lip of my cup there so I can pour clean and precise latte art in the same spot! It makes pouring beautiful art super easy. And the matte black is gorgeous. The only reason I’m giving this one star off is because it’s missing any sort of markings on the interior to help you judge how much milk to use when filling, leaving you to eyeball it. 🥲 The solution is to use a different jug for measuring, but it would be nice not to have to use so many different mugs for this purpose so I have less to clean after making my cappuccinos. 👍

High quality milk pitcher. Just the perfect size and weight for pouring latte art. It is a great value for functionality as my breville pitcher is no where near as well built as this.

Fast shipping, high quality and they certainly do pay attention to details.
