About the analogue thermometer
See how warm your milk gets.
What the analogue thermometer adds
Track your milk as it warms.
0-100 °C · Celsius and Fahrenheit · No battery
Keep your hands on the frothing.
The removable clip holds the thermometer on your milk jug's rim. You don't need to hold it separately while positioning the jug and controlling the steam.
The clip must fit securely on the rim. Keep the probe clear of the base, sides and steam wand.
Removable clip · 304 stainless steel probe
Check your brewing water too.
If your pouring kettle has no temperature display, measure inside it before making coffee. See the temperature where you use the water, including after transferring it.
Clean the probe when switching from milk to water.
The same thermometer for milk and water
Is this right for me?
For reading the temperature.
This thermometer suits you if you're looking for a simple addition to your milk jug or pouring kettle.
You heat milk or water yourself.
You want to track temperature while preparing. The thermometer measures; you heat and decide when to stop.
Your jug has enough room.
The liquid must be deep enough to immerse at least 5 cm of the probe. A small portion in a wide jug doesn't always allow this. For milk, leave room for foam too.
A practical indication is enough.
You're looking for an analogue reading without a battery. To assess very small temperature differences, choose a thermometer with specified measurement accuracy and response time.
How it works
Position, read and clean.
- 01
Position the thermometer.
Attach the clip to a suitable jug and face the dial towards you. Set the jug down stably before placing the thermometer.
- 02
Check the measuring position.
Keep at least 5 cm of the probe in the milk or water. Let it hang freely without touching the base, sides or steam wand. Keep the dial above the liquid.
- 03
Track the temperature.
Give the needle time to respond. If heating milk, stay with it and stop in time yourself. If checking still brewing water, read once the needle barely changes.
- 04
Clean after use.
Remove the thermometer from the jug and clean the probe and clip by hand. Remove milk residue after each preparation and dry the parts before storing.
Measure in the liquid.

Frequently asked questions
What else would you like to know?
How accurately does this thermometer measure?
Use it as a practical temperature indication. Probe position and the time you give the needle to respond affect your reading.
Can I use it for plant-based milk?
Yes, track the temperature of a plant-based drink too. Make sure the probe sits deep enough in the liquid. How much foam forms and how long it lasts also depend on composition and technique.
Does it fit through every pouring kettle lid?
No. The opening and probe length must suit. The probe doesn't fit through the vent hole of MHW-3BOMBER's 400 ml Planet pouring kettle. With other kettles, also check the probe reaches deep enough into the water.
Can I use it for a small amount of milk?
That depends on your jug. At least 5 cm of the probe must be in the milk while leaving room for foam. Jug capacity alone doesn't tell you whether that's possible with your portion.
Can I measure my espresso machine's brewing temperature with it?
Measuring in a cup tells you the liquid's temperature there. That's different from the water's temperature at the coffee during brewing. Don't use this thermometer to determine your espresso machine's brewing temperature.
How do I clean the thermometer?
Clean the probe and clip by hand and dry afterwards. Gently squeeze the clip to slide it along the probe or remove it. Remove milk residue after each use. Dishwasher suitability is not confirmed.
