Swan Neck Milk Frothing Jug 600ml

The spout is the whole point. A swan neck narrows to a fine tip and curves away from the body, which gives far more control over the pour than the broad lip on a standard jug, and control is what separates a rosetta from a beige circle. The 600ml body suits two large flat whites or three smaller cups at a time.

It is pressed from stainless steel with a smooth interior and a rolled rim, so milk moves cleanly up the wall while it is being textured and there are no seams for residue to catch in. The handle is set high on the body for a steady grip through the pour, and the base is flat and wide enough to sit stably on a scale or a worktop.

Eight finishes are offered, from plain silver and a warm gold through to a deep matt black, plus red, blue, green, pink and gloss black. It is the kind of piece that ends up on display beside the machine rather than in a drawer. Rinse it straight after use before milk dries in it, and hand wash rather than putting it through a dishwasher, which will dull the coloured finishes over time.
