Normcore Handleless Milk Pitcher with Sharp Spout, Espresso Steaming Pitcher, 18/8 Stainless Steel Milk Frothing Jug, Premium Barista Tools, Non-stick coating White,15.2 oz (450 ml)

Great pitcher, the sharp spout is perfect for getting detailed latte art.

This instantly and drastically improved my ability to get consistent, good-quality microfoam for lattes, and the spout helps control the flow of the milk so you can achieve better latte art! My latte art got an instant upgrade too. Highly recommend! (For reference, I had been using the pitcher that comes with the Breville Barista Pro for the past year).

I think it is pretty good with subminimal nano

Small enough to handle with one hand

Looks nice, good quality, and has a nice laminar pour

Don’t be like me and buy this thinking the sharp spout and handle less design will make pouring beautiful latte art simple and easy to do as a beginner. Sharp spouts like this restrict the flow of foam when you pour, so your milk is more likely to sink into your cup rather than float on the surface This size is also awful for 10oz+ lattes (at least if you want to make art) because you need room in your pitcher to swirl + get the milk horizontal and as close to your coffee surface as possible so it can float on top. If you want to freepour designs (think tiny squiggles like seahorses etc) this pitcher is great for small 6 to 8oz cappuccinos, but a wider round spout and a larger pitcher size is actually easier because the flow of foam is more beginner friendly for pouring hearts, tulips, and Rosettas. I also found that the lack of a handle for my tiny hands made this super difficult to grip! Handled designs work better for me and give me more control. The handle less designs are not a one size fits all solution, unfortunately. I do love whatever coating Normcore uses because it sure does feel durable and look beautiful. The thickness of the metal also seems perfect for gauging temperature of your milk by touching the bottom as it steams! In use, it would probably work better for someone with larger hands. The best part about this pitcher is how many markings are inside to tell you how much milk you’ve poured! I wish all jugs did this!

-Size is great and has internal mL markings that are easily visible. The rubber grip feels good in hand and helps prevent scalding your hand when steaming. Black coating looks good and cleans easily, resists any water mark, etc.-Performs as well as can be expected. It’s a milk pitcher designed by a company who makes espresso accessories. It steams milk well.-Is a little on the pricier side, but for the size/grip/coating it does feel worth it.

Major Difference:IKAPE is not graduated, so there are no markings inside to tell you how much milk you started with, and how much milk you ended with. What this means is that you can't measure out mL or oz on the IKAPE pitcher.The graduated markings on the Normcore pitcher are easy to read and won't come off in the dishwasher.The Normcore jug has thicker walls by 0.2mm over the IKAPE. Thicker metal feels and probably helps the milk retain more heat after steaming.The Normcore pitcher is great. I wanted the IKAPE to see if I prefer the handle over the handleless but if I do end up sticking with the handle, I will get another Normcore.
