About GT Milk Pitcher
You bring the spout towards your espresso and start pouring. You want to see where the milk lands and how much you add. The GT gives you a wide U-shaped spout, an open sightline along the angled top rim and a handle for tilting the jug. The 600 ml capacity offers room to froth milk before pouring.
U-shaped spout approximately 27 mm wide · Top rim at 8°
The GT has a 600 ml capacity and a wide shape. This gives the milk room to move and increase in volume while steaming. Match the amount to your drink and what your steam wand can froth well. Leave space above the milk. The jug's capacity is not a recommended fill level for frothing.
600 ml jug capacity · Wide, four-sided shape
The diamond-shaped handle supports your fingers while tilting the jug or making small pouring movements. Choose a grip that lets you direct the spout calmly and keeps your wrist relaxed.
Diamond-shaped handle
Is this right for me?
The GT suits a coffee setup where you prepare the milk yourself and pour it from a jug into your cup.
Use a steam wand for steaming milk in the jug. Check that you can position the jug underneath and have enough room to adjust its position while frothing.
The GT helps you follow the milk flow. You practise milk texture, pouring speed and distance from the coffee yourself. A heart is a straightforward pattern to start with.
If you usually prepare little milk, consider the 400 ml milk jug 5.0 too. If you already have a jug that pours comfortably, consider whether the GT's spout, visibility and handle add something to your workflow.
How it works
Pour cold milk into the clean jug. Leave room for frothing and use enough milk to position the steam tip properly. Follow your machine's operating instructions.
First incorporate a little air into the milk. Then place the steam tip slightly deeper and keep the milk moving to distribute the bubbles. Stop the steam before removing the jug and clean the steam wand immediately.
Gently swirl the jug to keep milk and foam mixed. Pour when the milk is glossy and moves as one.
Start with a gentle stream to mix the milk with the espresso. For your pattern, bring the spout closer to the coffee surface and pour more milk. Watch where it lands and adjust your movement accordingly.

Yes, you can transfer prepared milk and use the GT solely as a pouring jug. For latte art, the milk must have a fine texture and pour well. Transferring it does not automatically make a stiff foam layer fluid.
Rinse away milk residue after use and wash the jug with warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft sponge. Clean the guiding groove and spout too, then dry the jug. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to protect the surface.
