Rattleware 5-Inch Thermometer Kit, Easy Steam

I mainly used for monitoring milk temperature during steaming/frothing. Calibration was quick/easy and instructions/tools were very straightforward. The dial is large and easy to read and the clip holds the thermometer where I want it on the pitcher. Not sure what more I can ask for.

This thermometer is just right for my 20 oz ss frothing pitcher. The clip holds securely, the dial is just the right size, it's accurate and it's easy to calibrate with the included tool. I like the green area on the dial. When the needle hits the beginning of the green area (150 degrees), I shut off the steam and let it coast to 160. Always the perfect temperature and have never burned it yet; cleanup is easy. I highly recommend this thermometer.

The needle is loose and moves whenever the thermometer is bumped. You can get the needle to wander around the dial by very lightly tapping the thermometer on the counter. Thus, it will not stay calibrated and the temperature readout is worthless.I have sent it back for a new one. I'm hoping the replacement works better (or it is going back, too.)----------------------I had not exchanged a product with Amazon before. They make it extremely convenient. Just box it up and leave it at the front door - UPS does the rest. The replacement arrived 2 days after my request. The new thermometer does not have any of the problems that I described for the first one. I have been using it for a few weeks and it works great.

When I bought my espresso setup, I already had a beverage thermometer from Sur La Table. I found myself wishing the face of the dial was a little larger and more informative as to where my temperature was, essentially it had a "not there yet" section, a "ready" section and a "too hot" section. Fast-forward, I purchased a few Rattleware items and felt like they were great add-ons to my home coffee bar. So I bought this thermometer as a replacement. The dial has all the markings of my previous, but it also has the temperature marks across the face. Its the perfect size, I can see my milk froth and take a quick glance at where I'm at temp-wise.The calibration is super easy, you either calibrate the hot or the cold end of the spectrum. I did the hot, then tested the cold and it landed in the right spot! The tool is simple, just a quick rotate with the wrench and you are set.The clip that holds the thermometer to the pitcher is nice. I grips the thermometer very tightly, you have to squeeze the top 2 metal pieces together to twist or remove the thermometer from the clip. But the clip is not so tight on the pitcher, for example, if you had the thermometer attached to the pitcher and turned it upside down, the thermometer might fall off. But for me that's ok, I keep my thumb on the clip at all times.

This item came with a calibration tool which worked well. I calibrated it with a cup of ice water as per the instructions. when using it to froth/steam milk, the needle moves upwards smoothly. it has helped us get perfect temperature milk for every cup of latte or cappuccino. no more guesswork and overall very convenient well worth the money. I would get this one or a different one but you should definitely get a product like this.

A simple, cheap, crude thermometer for your frothing cup. Comes with an adjuster so at least you know if it is basically accurate because you can set it.There is a clip that really isn't strong enough to work, but the dial is easy to see and it covers the temperature ranges one has to access when steaming milk.Not a bit of mention on it or the packaging as to where it was made. Wherever that was, it did not come from a plant that makes devices for critical use. Close enough I suppose.

I love the large face and the green and red markers so you know exactly how hot the milk your frothing is. It comes with a very long clip which grabs the pitcher easily and stays in place. So far, about a month, it's remained accurate so I haven't had to recalibrate it but I suspect that following the instructions will work. Rattleware makes good products for espresso and related uses.One thing to be aware of is that the reading continues to escalate for one or two seconds after you've removed the pitcher of milk from the steam. Compensate for this and stop a second sooner. I guess if it were 101% perfect, the instant read would be a little better but I'm quite happy.

Does a great job
