Behind the bar of many cafés across South Africa, Brew Tool accessories are used in all aspects of making great coffee. They have the right devices for tamping ground coffee, milk pitchers which make frothing that much easier, and just about everything else in between. While Brew Tool’s coffee equipment is relied on by professionals throughout the country, its wide variety of coffee gear may also be used to make delicious coffee at home.

To produce foamed milk for flat whites, lattes, or cappuccinos, baristas keep two variables in mind as they froth; texture and temperature. This Brew Tool milk pitcher with a strip thermometer allows you to track the temperature of your milk, as you froth it. By keeping an eye on the passive temperature indication strip as the temperature climbs, you can reach an ideal temperature (~60°C) to ensure you don’t under- or overheat your milk whilst developing texture. This also ensures that the flavour profile of your coffee is not affected by overly denatured milk and keeps your espresso-based drinks consistent.

This milk jug’s precision spout allows you to control your pour, and achieve your desired latte art. Whether you need to prepare multiple drinks in a busy café setting, or improve your home espresso workflow, this milk jug is easy to clean with hot water and soap. It is made from durable and food-safe stainless steel. To preserve the thermo-strip‘s longevity this jug is not recommended for use with dishwashers.
