The Rhinowares Professional milk pitcher is a stylish looking pitcher developed by those who understand how to make great barista quality coffee.

The spout is very nice for getting closer to the surface earlier in taller vessels so a design can be started a tad earlier. Since foam will coalesce at the mouth a bit faster it behooves the user to do a stepped pour, stopping after the first penetration of the crema to recirculate the milk and then resuming the pour. This is certainly not the best way to lay down a good rosetta but makes this pitcher nice for tulips or layered heart designs. The rounded tip is also nice for these push-based designs, where a more pointed tip in this size of pitcher makes definition in a rosetta a bit easier (in a larger size, for lattes, this spout makes easy and gloriously defined rosettas in broad vessels). I'm not saying the tip makes things any more difficult, just that it requires adjustment. Likewise, it is easy to angle the pitcher too far in towards the body. It is definitely helpful to grasp the rim in the cradle of the thumb and forefinger to better aim the flow for a symmetrical pour; holding the pitcher by the handle or lower body makes it easy to misjudge the spout and flow direction, resulting in designs hugging or following the inside curve rather than centering (handy for a double rosetta, double tulip, or wave, though).

The patented base shape with a central bump helps improve the milk circulation and creates a more consistent roll while heating. It has a classic square style handle providing plenty of room for your hand while pouring the milk and creating your latte masterpieces. It also comes in some gorgeous colours, like pastel blue, pink, and bright yellow. However, the stand out feature is the tapered design that ensures beautiful velvety and smooth microfoam for creating the ultimate latte art for your latte, flat white or magic coffee drink. Then there’s the spout, which is not a spout at all but a crease that runs the entire length of the jug’s tapered body. This gives a more consistent pour as milk flows seamlessly from the bottom of the vessel to the top. The fluted tip is quite sharp, making it easy to pour professional latte art designs.
