2.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, needs constant calibration, November 8, 2007

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Large face, good accuracy, but too long, January 12, 2010

This thermometer is about average. The large dial is well marked and provides a high degree of accuracy, but the numbering and lettering use an unnecessarily small font for such a large face. The temperature reading seems very accurate when I compared it against other frothing thermometers. The primary drawback I found was that it is too large for a typical home frothing pitcher. With a six inch stem (actually slightly longer) plus the dial, it requires over 6-1/2" of clearance to use. I find myself wishing it were shorter whenever I use it. Good value for the cost.
