5" Adjustable Milk Frothing Thermometer for Perfect Espresso, Latte, Coffee - NSF Approved, 0-220°F Range

industry go to thermometer that I find accurate, easy to read and consistent at a fair price

Works as Described, Fast shipping, great seller

I like that you can adjust the accuracy, as with all thermometers of this type. However, moving the clip is extremely difficult (almost impossible at first). It is difficult to read because of angle, unlike those I used when working as a barista. I do appreciate, now that I am much older, the over-sized dial, which is what I bought it for. I also love the color coding.

It works perfect. Make sure that you have a steam cup larger than a 20 once. The shorter version would be better for the smaller pitchers.

I absolutely love this thermometer. I own a coffee shop and have tried many different thermometers only to find they have small, hard to read dials, or that they are slow to react to the fast temperature changes that happen when steaming milk. The large dialon the Barista Basics is big and easy to glance at while you’re barista is engaging with customers. And it’s super accurate - which means less accidental milk boils and less wasted time re-steaming milk.

Works well. Does fog up sometimes, but, it is accurate.

The plastic cover melted on its first use, I placed it on a pot of milk being warned to 165 degrees for 15 seconds, that was enough to warp the plastic lens which popped off, and the plastic lens holds the digits in place so now the digits just spin around like crazy making it impossible to both calibrate, keep calibrated and use ever again. Maybe the pirate logo is a sign that this is a pirate product.

This looks amazing and works beautifully. Perfect addition to my coffee bar.

Si estas leyendo esto, es por que eres Barista o aficionado al cafe seguramente. Al grano, ya conoces la marca... su display de lectura es del tamaño que deberian ser TODOS los termometros, GRANDE! (esto lo hace muy comodo). Y sin rodeos... estas enamorado de su calaverita (no digas que no, si.. siiii). Lo mas importante, te da parametros recomendados (si... RECOMENDADOS) para espumado de la leche en Farenheit, lo cual es practico. PROS: Aguja de 13 cm de longitud, suficiente para usarse con cualquier pitcher. Bien construido y ya viene calibrado (dudo mucho que tengas que hacerlo tu), pero en caso de que no... su funda tipo pluma "BIC" es tambien herramienta para ayudarte a calibrarlo (vease videos de como calibrar). Lectura en F o C. Aguja de lectura en rojo que contrasta bien. Clip ajusta bien en pitchers. CONTRAS: Cuidado con tus dedos al tocar los bordes del clip, viene filoso! Y como cualquier termometro, no esperes a que aguante una caida sin cuartearse el display de plastico (sentido comun).

Me ayuda a lograr la espuma perfecta para mis lates o capuchinos.
