How to choose the right size milk pitcher when whipping milk foam ?

Choosing the capacity of your milk pitcher cup depends on a number of factors, including the capacity of the coffee maker you’re using, the amount of coffee you make, and your personal preference. Here are some suggestions:

Smaller capacity milk jug: For beginners or home users, it is usually better to choose a smaller capacity milk jug (e.g. 250 ml to 500 ml). Such a capacity is easy to control and is also suitable for making single or double cup quantities of coffee.

You may need a smaller milk pitcher to froth the milk before making the pulls, which makes it easier to control the texture and amount of milk froth.

Large capacity milk pitcher: If you regularly make multiple cups of coffee, or work in a commercial environment, a larger capacity milk pitcher cup (e.g. 500 ml to 1 liter) may be required. This will increase efficiency and reduce the number of repeated cleanings and fills.

You may need a slightly larger milk pitcher cup to hold the frothed milk and additional milk before pouring it into the coffee to allow for better control of the flow and draw when pouring the coffee.

If you are using a home coffee maker, the size of the steam wand may limit your milk frothing pitcher options. Make sure that the nozzle of the milk pitcher cup can fit the steam wand.

If you are very skilled at pulling flowers, you may prefer to use larger capacity milk jugs as they provide more space for intricate patterns.
