This review is from: Ep-20 20oz Frothing Pitcher with 20oz Milk Volume

OK, I've had this for about 5 years, and saw the other 2 reviews, which to me are both misguided.

First of all, a review should review this product in comparison with others of the same genre. A review shouldn't be of whether you want the product in the first place. You should be reviewing this AS a steaming pitcher, not whether one needs a steaming pitcher in the first place. And, you can't steam the milk in the mug for making something like a cappuccino with latte art, etc. I steam the milk in the mug for my daughter's hot chocolate, sure. But for many drinks, you must have a steaming pitcher. So, presuming one knows one wants a steaming pitcher in the first place, it is totally unfair to ding THIS one because it IS a steaming pitcher.

Second of all, there are steaming pitchers available in 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, 24oz, 32oz, etc. Rating the 20oz pitcher 3 starts because it is "too small" is bizarre. The review should review the *quality* or *value* or *durability* of the item. The review should compare it with *other 20oz pitchers*. PLUS, I don't get this - a standard cappuccino cup is only 6oz, this pitcher is EASILY big enough to steam milk for TWO of them. If you're trying to fill a couple of travel-mugs, or pouring lattes for 6 people, sure, get the 32oz. But in general, I find it too BIG. I have a 12oz and this 20oz, and I'm actually going to order a 16oz because it is hard to reach the steam wand to the bottom of this one for a 4 or 5oz macchiato/cappuccino type drink, but the 12oz pitcher is too hard to control. This one, however, is the *perfect* size for steaming 2 6oz cappuccinos for me and my wife.

Now, after whining about the other 2 reviews, on to my review.

This is an excellent value for only less than twenty bucks or whatever it is going for. It isn't as good as the Motta - but - that costs *three times as much* - so, I would hope it is better.

It is solid stainless steel, a heavy enough gauge for the desired thermal properties. Milk spins well in it, and the spout is controllable enough during the pour.

The pitchers are perfect for a single espresso beverage. More than one and it can be time consuming, but overall it is a perfect pitcher.

Just what I was looking for. If you need a frothing pitcher this is it. I can make plenty enough for 2 large latte's, 3 if their grande size
