Frieling Creamer/Frothing Pitcher

Performs well as a creamer, but I hope you don't have much milk to froth!
I will be the first to admit that I was highly attracted to the physical design of this pitcher. On that account, it holds up. This is a beautifully made piece of kitchen gear, with a nice mirrored finish on the outside, made from heavy gauge steel, and a nice, solid-feeling (I guess it could be solid) handle.

Where this item falls short for me is in its small volume as a frothing pitcher. I will also be the first to admit that this is an error on my part, but a 10 ounce pitcher sounded like more than enough for my needs. The problem is, the expansion of the milk as you foam it means you'll be overfilling this pitcher like a Homer Simpson beer.

This was my first frothing pitcher. Three weeks later, I went and bought a 24 ounce pitcher at a local kitchen supply store. If you only want to foam 2-3 ounces of milk at a a time, this is the pitcher for you. If you have dreams of large, creamy lattes (especially if you have dreams of more than one of them), this...

pitcher size appropriate for one or two cappuccinos
If you are making your cappuccinos one or two at a time this picture is fine for those that drink their coffee Italian style. If you prefer a more American style cappuccino (1/2 milk and 1/2 espresso) the capacity of this picture will hold enough milk for one good sized cappuccino.

The pitcher is very sturdy and attractively styled. The handle stays cool when the milk is being steamed. The pitcher is also easy to clean.

I highly recommend this item.

Pay attention to the capacity!
I didn't pay close attention to the other reviews. This is too small to be a frother for lattes. You need a 16 oz capacity.

Otherwise, it is a high quality item.
