Customer Reviews

Savvy shopper
This thermometer does a great job when frothing 10 oz of milk or more. It is, however, inferior to my digital thermometer in terms of response time.

I usually prepare a latte or cappuccino by steaming just 3 or 4 oz of milk in the cup before brewing coffee directly into it. With such small quantities of milk, this lag becomes significant in order to avoid scalding (and its inferior taste).

It is easy to use, has a substantial and easily attached clip, and is very easy to read. Many people who steam larger quantities will undoubtedly rate it 4 or 5 stars.

Three stars based on my main use and specific needs. BUT 5 stars for other applications in the kitchen.

Calibration Tool NOT Included
I guess the thermometer itself is ok. I won't know until it's calibrated. Like the similar product, the S10, this thermometer is described as "Easy to Calibrate" and as having calibration instructions. That's great, but now that I have it, the instructions say to slip the calibration tool "onto stem with hex nut recess toward themometer dial." But I have no calibration tool.

Sure, now that I know that, I can return to Amazon's product page and see it listed as an accessory, but only if I click onto to the second page of accessories. And nowhere in the 6 other current reviews here is the tool mentioned. Did no one else bother to calibrate? Did all six people already have a tool? I don't think so. They didn't mention calibration at all, let alone a separate tool.

So, if you want this item, perhaps you should purchase the kit which includes the tool. As for me, I guess I'll have to include the $5 tool in my next order. If I didn't have Amazon Prime, I'd be more upset.

Great thermometer Not so great mounting clip
This is a perfect thermometer for frothing milk in a pitch, but the clip that is supplied is not. It slides around and gets in the way. I replaced the clip and still use this thermometer. comes with a protective plastic sheath as well.
