OK, here we go with my first review of the 12oz Espro Toroid Milk Picther!
Sweet looking little thing! The design shows why B/steamer says, "Just stick the wand straight in and let the machine do the work." I did just that! No tipping the pitcher. Ms. Silvia was temp surfed for full throttle. I put the wand in and the milk spirted straight out at me. I'm use to a much larger pitcher and the strength of the pressure blew part of the milk out. I pulled the pitcher and started again with the remaining milk. I know now that I put too much milk in to begin with! DAH!!!!
On my second try, she worked perfect! That little pitcher is sweet! VERY UNIFORM was my first impression. Normally I will have a thinner foam on top of my other larger pitcher. This one was uniform and smooth. The micro foam was dense and consistent.
I usually do double lattes. I use a large mug that "Wild Bill" and Denise threw for me a couple years ago. I placed my two shots in the mug and the finished steamed milk and it didn't quite fill the mug as normal. I WILL BUY ONE OF THESE but I will get the 20oz model. I can see why artists would love this picher for latte art! From the consumers standpoint, "NICE!"
I'll post again on Monday before I send this on to JohnF. Jim
