A handle-free milk jug is best for latte art. Without a handle, your grip will be closer to the jug body, making it easier for the spout to reach the surface.
- This Model features a flat, slanted top that reaches every tight space in the cup and has a new signature laser gripping style for a comfortable, silky, yet supple feel.
Pros:
- The CAPTAIN design is inspired by aircraft engineering and includes red, heat-resistant silicone.
- The CAPTAIN design controls milk flow, ensuring froth pours into the cup, not the liquid.
- The super pointy spout is perfect for creating precise lines in latte art.
Cons:
- Rainbow-plated jugs have a spectrum of colors and may have small soft spots, which are not considered defects.
- The Matt Coating shows fingerprints easily after the first use. Clean with glass spray and a microfiber cloth.
Jibbi’s Notes
- If your latte art appears crooked during pouring, it might not be due to misaligned spouts or handles. Our jugs are crafted with precise tolerance limits. The pointed spout design allows little margin for error, requiring a steady hand and precise movements. In contrast, jugs with large round spouts offer more forgiveness when off-center. Practice will refine your technique, so avoid prematurely attributing issues to the jug alone; consider other factors.
- During tulip pours, beginners often tilt or grip the pitcher unevenly, lifting too much for each layer of the tulip, resulting in irregular shapes. To achieve consistent results, keep the cup level, align the spout centrally, and maintain a parallel arm. Slow, controlled pouring onto a dry canvas stabilizes the jug, preventing excessive lifting and ensuring even pours.
- Mastering this jug through practice enhances your skills. For those preferring simpler pours or struggling with jug control, our rounded spout model may be more suitable.
Quality Assurance Notice: No Refund or Exchange Below This Mentioned
- All jugs are inspected before shipment. Minor variations in spouts, handles, and bodies due to production tolerances are normal.
- Handle alignment may vary by 1-2mm, which does not affect pouring technique.
- Laser welding marks inside the handle are not defects and do not lead to rust.
- Minor scratches may occur due to the lightweight design intended for latte art performance. Although each jug undergoes thorough inspection, they may not be entirely scratch-free due to this thickness.
- By purchasing a color-coated jug, you acknowledge these conditions, including minor scratches and factory marks on both exterior and interior surfaces. Plated items will naturally tarnish over time with use.
Read Before You Buy:

- Color coating may peel, fade, or discolor over time. Contact us within 3 days for major coating issues or defects not mentioned before use.
- Signs of use invalidate return policies.
CAPTAIN
- Please be aware that slight differences in color tones may be present in some areas and that there may be tiny soft spots or scratches on the metal in rare cases. The appearance of the coatings depends on the color schemes, methods, finish, and materials used, as well as surface chemical treatments.
- The Color Electroplating is intended to appear only on the exterior surface of the jug, but may sometimes unintentionally appear on the interior. Color imperfections inside the jug are common to all jugs with color application and are not defects.
- The wire markings on the inside of the milk jug are a normal occurrence during the electroplating process. The wire is used to hold the jug in place during electroplating, so the mark will appear after the process is complete. This marking does not signify any defect or poor production.
- Different combinations of blue shades (such as Aqua, Purple, Dark Blue or Light Blue) may be present in one jug and this is normal and not a defect.
- Fingerprints are easily visible on the blue surface after the first use, but this is not a color defect and can be removed with a microfiber cloth.
- All jugs are made from a mold and produced by a machine that bends the sheet metal. As a result, the metal may come into slight contact with another object and get scratched. Although we take great care in examining each jug, we cannot guarantee that every stainless steel product will have a flawless surface. However, scratches will not affect the jug's functionality or ability to froth milk.
- Electroplating color will last longer, but some series are coated with other methods like Teflon or Painting, so we recommend delicate hand washing to preserve the color as long as possible. Do not soak in chemicals, as this can result in color abrasion.
- RoseGold/Blue Plating may cause the copper or blue at the surface to oxidize normally, resulting in marks, stains, or tarnish on the surface. This is not a defect and is expected over time and wear.
For washing and care
- The jug is not dishwasher safe and should be hand washed with delicate care.
- It is not chemical resistant and cannot retain color.
- Soak the jug with citric acid/vinegar/baking soda to remove stains and fingerprints or use a glass cleaner spray followed by wiping with a microfiber cloth.
- If using Caffeto "Coffee Machine Cleaning Powder," do not soak for more than 10 minutes and supervise to avoid uneven soaking or misuse that can cause color damage.
