In this short video, John Buckman demonstrates our full lineup of Decent Milk Jugs and explains why we designed three different versions — with two spout styles in two different sizes. Each jug has a purpose.
Whether you’re just starting out or refining your latte-art technique, your milk jug plays a huge role in how your drinks turn out.
You'll discover:
- Why precise measurement lines matter for getting the right milk-to-foam ratio
- How the thickness of the jug's wall affects steaming speed and temperature accuracy
- Why we include a built-in thermometer port (and why “hand-feel” steaming is risky!)
- When to choose a wide spout vs. a pointed spout
- Why many latte-art competitors steam small, but pour large
If you’ve ever wondered which milk jug you should use, this overview breaks down the trade-offs in a practical, approachable way — and helps you choose which jugs match your skills level and workflow.
