Latte art jug (milk pitcher)

A stainless steel jug designed for steaming and pouring milk for latte art. Sizes range from 350 ml (single drink) to 1 L (commercial high-volume). Spout shape varies — standard round, sharp tulip, or specialty profiles.

Why it matters — The pitcher is one of the most important tools for latte art. Pitcher weight, balance, spout angle, and taper all directly affect pour control. A good pitcher in skilled hands produces clean shapes; a poor pitcher fights against the pour.

Good to know

• Common volumes: 350 ml for a single small drink, 600 ml for two small or one large drink, 1 L for high-volume cafés.
• Many baristas own multiple pitchers — different sizes for different drinks, different spout shapes for different art styles.
