This is a decently built pitcher, but too small for good frothing action -- tends to spill over. A 20 oz. pitcher seems to work better.
This pitcher's dimensions are: about 2.65" wide at the top, about 2.8" wide at the bottom and about 3.6" deep.

This is an ok size for creating a small 2 cup cappaccino with the Mr Coffee Cappaccino Maker. This size does not give you very much frothing room for larger drinks and I will probably purchase the 20oz size soon. The quality is excellent, sturdy stainless steel and heats the milk alot quicker than a ceramic mug I have been using. Get this for making smaller drinks but if you want more frothing room I would get the 20oz or even larger.

Very small. Steams enough milk for 1 serving of double-shot latte. When deciding on size, always measure liberally. Take into account that steamed milk usually doubles in size if done properly.

I bought this "stainless steel" pitcher instead of a more expensive one. I got it 5 days ago and have used it to steam milk approximately 9 times since then. I have not run it through the dishwasher at all, but have washed it by hand. The handle is already rusting where it joins with the body of the pitcher! Also, the "spout" is nowhere near as pronounced as in the photo, making it more like pouring out of a plain drinking glass than out of a pitcher.

Definitely regretting going cheaper on this purchase. :(

This is indeed a very small frother as others have already stated. When I got it I doubted that it even held 12 ounces, but sure enough, 12 ounces means the milk fills the pitcher to the brim. Which means you can't really froth 12 ounces of milk, but rather 6 ounces. It is thus better used as a small creamer on a large table setting, or for a very small milk steamer. It is otherwise an attractive little piece.

Otherwise this is solidly build. The handle does not get hot while the milk is steaming.

This product is made in China. A white label had been placed over that statement on the outside package as if to hide that fact.

I purchased this frothing pitcher for DeLonghi EC155 having very short steal nozzle.
Initially it seemed this was made by Saeco famous in household espresso machine, but what I got was made by Update.
I don't know the relationship between Saeco and Update, but it still fits to my machine.

Well, it's a frothing pitcher. There's not much else to say. It looks good, shiny on the exterior with a brushed steel interior. The handle is a little thin, and looks kind of cheap, but it serves its purpose. The only glaringly ugly feature is the logo on the bottom, which you'd think they would take care to imprint, but no one sees the bottom, so that's ok. This pitcher is the perfect height for my DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker, and works great. Overall, if you don't have a lot of money to spend on accessories, I would recommend this pitcher. If you really care about looks and a more comfortable handle (you're only holding it for maybe 30 sec at most anyway), then you might want to consider something more expensive. However, this is the perfect size for cappuccino, which I what I use it for, and the price tag is attractive.

I have a hard time giving this three stars because it deserves more since I just have no concept of how much an ounce is :). I thought 12 ounces would be enough to be able to play around with the milk for Latte art on my drinks but it helps if you have enough milk for the drink. Personally I would upgrade to the bigger pitcher unless you only drink true doppio macchiato's (the drinks in the tiny cups). I am a Starbucks Barista and know when I see a quality product and this definately meets my standards. Good product, just stupid buyer :).

I bought this 12 oz UPDATE pitcher from another vendor and was dismayed at the QC of the company. Mine came with little dents in the side. The handle has since corroded in many places and looks awful.
My Rattleware (RW) 20 oz I have had for longer and wash in the same dishwasher as the update one, shows no signs of any damage so I assume it is made of higher quality "stainless" steel.
The most recent one, a 16 oz RW bell shaped one (from Amazon) also shows no rust ether. My next one will probably be a 12 oz RW to replace this one.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase this, first off the picture makes it seem about 2x the size that it actually is, i honestly don't think i could even one persons drink worth of milk in the pot. Secondly it was listed as a new item, however it came with scratches and what looks like some kind of stain in the bottom of it like its been used already. Unless it was broken i don't think i could've been more dissatisfied.
