Great (Rating: 5 out of 5) The Frothing Pitcher is great. The size and shape is perfect. The shipping time was excellent. I had the items within a week. Thanks for a great service.
Does what it needs to do (Rating: 4 out of 5) Hard to wax poetic over something as mundane as a stainless steel milk frothing pitcher so I will just say that this one gets the job done. It's reasonably well-made, nice-looking and pours without drips. The wide mouth and relatively shallow depth makes it easy to froth milk, although I would suggest that you not fill it more than halfway to avoid having to clean up a mess when the froth overflows.
I noticed that one reviewer complained that the handle had broken off of the pitcher he purchased. It appears to be spot-welded on well enough for normal use but I think that if the pitcher was dropped while full and it landed on the handle, the length of the handle could supply enough leverage to break it off. I don't think I'd worry too much about it, however, unless you tend towards being butter-fingered.
Well constructed and shapely large vessel (Rating: 5 out of 5) I very much like the shape of this pitcher because it's diameter is larger than any other I've owned. I also like the angle of the handle, for that makes it easy to hold even for a larger hand. The pouring lip is nice and wide, reducing the drip of any milk which has not been frothed. My only complaint is that it is a larger pitcher and for single beverage, it can seem too large. On the other hand, it's better to have the option. I gave away my electric cap machine and use the Latte-Whip frother which is one of my favorite little kitchen gadgets. This pitcher also holds up very well to daily use with no signs of wear.
Great pitcher (Rating: 5 out of 5) This is the perfect size for a home espresso machine. It's easy to hold, and the size makes it easy to steam the milk evenly.
It's good... (Rating: 4 out of 5) Not much to say here...It's a metal frothing pitcher. It's NOT to light weight or made of cheap metal. It's great for what it is. It's not going to break on it's own or anything. I'm going to put it under the Christmas tree and make sure my Hubby unwraps it first before he finds out about the coffee/cappuccino machine I got for him. A little forshadowing will be fun.
