This Mini Pitcher Is Useful for Much More Than Your Lattes |
As a teenager who thought that vanilla lattes were a personality trait, my entire vision of a luxurious home built for cool, powerful adults was that it would have an espresso machine in it. Now, I'm neither cool nor powerful, and my home doesn't even have a dishwasher. But I do have the Breville Bambino Plus, a relatively affordable little espresso machine that makes darn good coffee (read more about why we love it here). I think my teenage self would be impressed by my fancy coffee apparatus, but also disappointed that I never really make vanilla lattes. I don't actually even use the milk steamer on the machine all that much. But I still use the stainless-steel milk-steaming pitchers that came with the espresso machine almost every day. You probably know the steaming pitchers I'm talking about; they usually come in the package with any espresso maker that you'd buy. But you shouldn't be limiting yourself to using them only in that way. These pitchers are essentially an additional piece of cookware. I put mine right on the stovetop and use them to reheat coffee, warm maple syrup, melt butter, toast spices, make chili oil, and basically any time I need a pan for an extremely small quantity of something. Rest assured that there's no need to own an espresso machine to make use of stainless-steel milk pitchers—you can buy them separately.
