Great value / great look
Color: Silver, Size: 11.8 Ounces
Very nice stainless steel frothing pitcher but the Latte art pen is very small, much smaller than I expected. The size is perfect for working with one Latte at a time. All in all a nice product. No real complaints...I mean, what can go wrong with a frothing pitcher :)

Espresso starter pack essential
Color: Silver, Size: 11.8 Ounces
I wanted something affordable to go with my entry-level espresso machine, and this milk frothing pitcher does the job perfectly. It works well, feels sturdy, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything more expensive. Great value for the price! We’ve used it everyday since purchase and it’s super easy to clean.
