KitchenCraft Stainless Steel Milk Thermometer

Works a treat when steaming my milk, excellent product, great quality and value, delighted with purchase.

Easy to read and use in steaming milk with the wand on my espresso machine. The red line indicator helps to ensure that I do not over heat the milk and spoil my coffee.

The thermometer is quite accurate as you can see in the picture (excuse my poor milk frothing skills). It’s a very good size and fits many milk jugs. I would say the top is quite big and wide so it’s difficult for me to see how my milk frothing is going. The clip was also quite loose. I have to try bend it to get it tighter, but I still haven’t got it to replace where it’s good. You have to stop milk frothing a couple moments before your desired temperature as the thermometer reads slow slowly however that’s just the nature of these thermometers. Overall good quality, recommend it.

Seems to work well - checked calibration at room temperature and boiling point (room temperature is spot on and the boiling point is within a few degrees centigrade of actual boiling). The thermometer I received has a dial style the same as the second and third pictures in the product description: no "China" lettering and instead "Kitchen Craft" in a bigger font a few millimeters higher up. The reason I mention this is because the first picture represents a product that is identical to the Grunwerg model. The dial style and the thermometer construction look, otherwise, exactly the same which makes me think that this thermometer is identical to the slightly more expensive Grunwerg thermometer. In terms of milk frothing I'm getting better results already and I realise that my previous approach (touching the jug to test the temperature) was way off in terms of accuracy and end results. The thermometer needs to be wiped clean. It can't be submerged in water - it is not watertight and this is clear from a brief inspection of the casing. In terms of quality, it's sufficient for occasional (multiple daily use) home use but it won't survive for long, I suspect, in a cafe. That said, my unit doesn't have any of the out of box problems that others have reported: the dial is fixed well to the spindle and the top of the spindle is flush against the plastic dial cover (face of the unit) so there is no obvious danger of the dial falling off. I would recommend the Kitchen Craft thermometer and will certainly buy another one even if this one only lasts a couple of years.

I use this in conjunction with a small milk jug for frothing milk for lattes etc Appears to be very accurate, even when I'm using only a small amount of milk and only covering the bottom ~1-2cm of the probe. Very easy to wipe clean after use and small enough to store atop the coffee machine itself. I would consider this easier to use than a jug with 'built in' thermometer as you can easily see the temperature displayed whilst also trying to hold your angle during frothing.

This has genuinely improved my morning coffee routine! It's simple, affordable, and does exactly what it promises perfectly frothing milk with minimal effort. I've noticed a significant upgrade in the quality of my homemade coffees, and it makes them taste almost like café-bought ones. Highly recommend to any coffee enthusiast looking to enhance their drinks easily at home. Definitely worth the purchase!

Temp read out works the clip is god awful. Rly hard to keep it attached to the milk jug.

Works as it should, easy to clean, easy to use. Really good to read the temp.

This thermometer functions exactly as expected. To verify its calibration, I tested it in a glass of melting ice water (which is a consistent 32°F), and it read perfectly. The device is very well-made and takes the guesswork out of the process. If you are trying to learn the exact right temperature for frothing milk for your lattes, this is a fantastic tool to help you get it right. Pro tip, avoid getting to the red line!

Hace su función, va muy bien.

What can you say about a thermometer? It works, lol!

Works, clear indicator for milk froth, useful for people with sensitive hands as I can only hold the body of the milk jug to 50 degrees c before it is too hot for me to hold.

Does not fit in between my Hario stainless steel kettle :(
