Amazon.com Review: This professional-grade frothing thermometer clips to the side of a frothing pitcher and permits baristas (espresso machine operators) to instantly and precisely measure temperatures while steaming milk for cappuccinos or caffe lattes. The thermometer measures temperatures from 120 to 180 degrees F, and the optimum frothing temperature zone is indicated on the 1-1/4-inch dial in purple. The instrument has a 5-inch stainless-steel stem. --Fred Brack

Rating: - cappuccino thermometer
wonderful little thermometer. Allows you to make cappucino froth just like the big guys. Only consideration is that it is only 5 inches long. Not meant for tall container. Get a frothing cup to fit.
Rating: - Economical
Plus - Easy to read, non-adjustable, very responsive
Minus - Clip does not fit the Krups XS5020 Frothing Pitcher tightly. If it did it would be 5 stars
Rating: - Avoid this model!
First, I feel foolish for having bought this thermometer in the first place, seeing as the range on the display is 120-180. This essentially eliminates being able to ensure that milk to be frothed is cold enough. Plus, milk for lattes should never be stretched beyond 100 (even lower if you have a more powerful frother), which, obviously, is below the range of this thermometer. Then there's the responsiveness problem. By the time this thermometer registers 140, the milk is already screeching violently.

Rating: - This is an excellent buy!
I recently purchased a new espresso maker and wanted to make sure I was frothing the milk correctly. I purchased the Taylor Classic. It has been an excellent investment. It works well and the price is most reasonable. I'm very happy with this thermometer.
Rating: - recommended
Inexpensive and easy to read even without glasses, and does the job. At first the thermometer will do nothing, then all of a sudden it really moves, so I am glad to have a thermometer or I would probably burn the milk, because I am just starting. Hope that it is a long-lasting product.
