The detail
A coffee thermometer takes the guesswork out of steaming milk — clip it to your jug and pull the milk off at the right temperature every time, for better texture and sweeter lattes. Our range covers clip-on dial thermometers and digital thermometers from Rhino Coffee Gear and Motta, in short and long stems to suit different jug sizes, plus stick-on TempTag temperature tags that show at a glance when your group head is up to heat.
For milk, the number to aim for is around 60–65°C: hot enough to be properly hot in the cup, cool enough that the milk stays sweet rather than scalded. A long-stem thermometer suits 600ml and larger jugs; a short stem is better for a 350ml jug where a long probe hits the base.
They are an inexpensive way to bring more consistency to milk texturing. Pair one with a good milk jug, or browse our full specialist espresso tools range.
Tell us how much coffee you pull and how hands-on you want to be. We'll shortlist two or three, and explain the trade-offs honestly.
