Customer Reviews
Inconsistent, needs constant calibration
This thermometer has all the right features for frothing a pitcher of milk, it's a good size, and I liked the froth and scald indicators on the dial.
The problem with it is that face twists very easily on the stem, thereby 'changing' your temperature reading. Many thermometers allow you to calibrate them with a small wrench or tool, but this one will turn just by handling it. Even if you calibrate it in the morning, by the afternoon it will be off by 5-10 degrees.
I bought a couple dozen of these for my coffee shops, but ended up having to throw most away due to baristas inadvertently serving either cool drinks or scalding the milk.
Easy to use and easy to see
This thermometer is a pleasure to use. It is easy to read the dial and it is easy to clip on. It is also very accurate. I have used it several times since I bought it and I am very happy with it.
Loved It at First but it Broke after 2 months
At first I just loved this thermometer for frothing the milk on my cappuccino. It has really big numbers which were a pleasure to read and was color coded so you could see at a glance the proper range for frothing. However after only a couple months use, the face twists, thereby changing the temperature reading. I tried everything to fix this but nothing worked. It is pretty useless like this since the temperature can be anything from 20-40 degrees off. ( I tested it on boiling water ) I don't know if the bolt that holds the long stem to the face got loose, but you can't tighten it. At first I thought it was just my bad luck, but then I noticed a few people commented on the same problem.
