MHW-3BOMBER Milk Frothing Pitcher 12oz Milk Frother Cup Espresso Steaming Pitcher Stainless Steel Milk Frother Cup Barista Latte

I have purchased many products from MHW-3Bomber and when I decided I wanted to get a new steaming pitcher I knew I wanted to test this one out. It’s made out of solid and durable metal that feels nice and has a textured outside and smooth inside. The grooves on the spout aren’t too aggressive to prevent easy cleaning, and I’ve found rinsing to be easy in between drinks. The handle has what I assume is a pinky cutout which helps increase control when pouring and fits nicely in my hand. I took it to my cafe to see how well it would work on a La Marzocco machine and it was easy to get consistent results. I’ve been able to get steady and consistent results after a bit of trial and error. I’m used to filling up to the neck of steaming pitchers but with this pitcher that’s too much milk in my experience to utilize the vortex function. Pouring couldn’t be easier, I’ve been able to get crisp lines in my latte art and the foam easily falls exactly where I want it to. I find myself not using all the milk because of the drink sizes I prefer but the milk waste isn’t at all a problem for me and is entirely because of my own preferences. Would recommend this over the $100 Vortex milk pitcher I’d compare it with. Read more

Closer to 5 stars than 4 so I rounded it there. This is a great pitcher for latte art, for those who know what they're looking for. There are lots of thoughtful little design details that make latte art pouring easier and more fun. Now remember, no pitcher will magically make your latte art better. If you aren't consistently steaming silky smooth milk (90%-95% of the battle for beginners), it doesn't matter what pitcher you use, you won't be able to pour any quality latte art. In latte art, pitchers are like paint brushes. Most of it still depends on the artist's painting skills. But once the artist gains more experience, they will begin to see where a certain brush would be more useful and learn how to maximize the benefits of each brush. So it is with pitchers. This particular one is my first product from this brand. Previously, I had two stainless steel pitchers, a 12oz and 20oz. Both of those had slightly sharper spouts compared to this pitcher, which will allow for finer detail. However, I find that this pitcher is a more versatile one for overall use, and I find myself going to it most of the time. Some of the benefits of this pitcher might have been lost in translation, so I'll try to share my thoughts on the ones that are most useful to me. 1) Diversion Trench: They may have been talking about the spout here, but one of the more unique and most useful features of this particular pitcher is where the spout ends. There aren't many other pitchers like this. There's a divot where the end of the spout meets the wall of the pitcher. This allows you to get closer to the surface of the "canvas" when you pour. What does that mean? Right after you lay your base, when you're starting to pour your design, that's often the trickiest portion for beginners for patterns which require you to get close to the center of the cup, instead of the edge. Most home espresso machines have steam wands that only best fit 12oz, maaaybe 16oz pitchers. Most people also are working with 6-8oz latte cups, so 12oz pitchers are easiest for steaming the respective amount of milk. 12oz pitchers often can't give you an easy angle to reach the center of the cup while also bringing the spout very close to the surface of the canvas (spout proximity). This is because for typical 12oz pitchers, the edge of the cup you're pouring into usually runs into the spout of the pitcher. It requires various workarounds, which do require more skill and control and may limit some designs, or transferring to a larger pitcher. Now transferring has multiple other benefits. But when you're a home barista and want to do less dishes, staying in one pitcher allows for an easier workflow. This particular pitcher has that slight divot mentioned earlier which, in many cases, lets you rest against the edge of the cup and reach further in than most other pitchers. It's hard to really appreciate until you actually physically try it out with a cup. I had a "wow" moment the first time I tried this. This is useful in combination with the next design feature: 2) Slant edge This is a common design feature seen in higher quality milk pitchers. So it's not as unique as the previous feature, but in conjunction with it, it allows for further reach. Same idea as above. For many patterns, you want to be able to reach the center of the canvas while maintaining spout proximity. 3) Turbo Principle I think this just refers to the bottom of the pitcher. It's not flat, but there's a slight elevation in the center. This supposedly helps in forming your vortex while steaming milk. I think this would be more appreciated on machines that don't have strong steam power. It also depends on your steaming technique and preferred pitcher angle/position. I didn't see a huge benefit for this personally since my steam wand is quite strong, but I can see how it could help. Forming a proper vortex is crucial in integrating air and milk while breaking down bubbles to form that silky microfoam. 4) Handle design Allows for multiple grips. I didn't see a huge benefit here but that's because of my grip style. I can see how it'd really help. I do like how the handle is thicker than those cheap steel pitchers, so it doesn't cut into your fingers as much (e.g. for pen style grip). 5) Thick walls I personally like this for comfort. But those who are used to feeling the temperature of the pitcher as a gauge during steaming will need to adjust. It's not a con. I read some reviewing it as a con. It just requires simple adjustment. Those were some of the most useful design features to me, which showed me how much thought and care went into this design. Now, it's not a perfect pitcher, and going back to the paintbrush analogy, it won't be the best picture for every use case. My particular pitcher came with some chips at the spout. Through normal usage, more chips appeared there. I'm a little concerned about potentially ingesting the material. So it might not be the best quality control. Also, sometimes I want a finer spout tip for more detailed designs like sharper rosettas, or a longer spout trench for free pouring (most animal designs). But it's still overall a very good pitcher and at this price point, it's hard to beat. I'm quite happy with this purchase. Hope this review can help shed some light on what some of these design features are and how they might impact your workflow and latte art pouring. Latte art has a very steep learning curve, but it's so much more rewarding when you see those baby steps of progress. Keep it up everyone! Read more
