The Kendo jug is designed with a short and pointy spout that excels in producing super-contrasted lines while minimizing wash-out. Applying more pressure allows you to create heavier lines.
Pros:
- Perfect Weight: The Kendo 0.8 mm is ideal for basic pushing patterns, weighing 180g to help form patterns effectively.
- Clear Patterns: Allows you to apply more weight with less effort, ensuring the pattern remains clear without washing out.
- Intricate Designs: For intricate patterns or small leaves, keep the tip of the spout about 2 mm away from the surface and wiggle with a specific amount of weight.
Cons:
- Imperfections: There may be dents or factory marks on the jug, mainly at the bottom. These occur due to the 0.7mm thick material, making it easier to get marks or dents compared to thicker materials. They are not defects or damage from transit.
- Fingerprint Marks: After the first use, fingerprints easily show on the Matt Coating. This is not a color defect, and spraying the surface with glass spray and wiping with a microfiber cloth will remove the marks.
JIBBI's Note:
- The Kendo spout is specifically designed to be short and protruded, with a hanging tip. This is not a design defect but is intended for pouring efficiency.
- To prolong the Teflon coating, steam milk with a separate stainless steel jug and then transfer it to the Teflon jug.
- Consider buying an electroplating coating for longer-lasting use in a cafe or everyday setting.
- 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.
Important Notes on Black and Red Teflon-Coated Jugs:
- Non-Stick Benefit: Teflon offers a smooth, fast milk flow but wears down over time.
- Care Tips:
- To prolong the jug's life, steam your milk in a different pitcher and transfer it to the Teflon jug for pouring.
- Avoid steaming milk directly in the Teflon jug to prevent scratches and damage.
- Be cautious with sharp or coarse tools like steam wands, thermometers, or clips as they can scratch the coating.
- Warranty: Damage from misuse or normal wear won't be eligible for returns, exchanges, or refunds.
- Re-Coating Option: You may have the non-stick coating reapplied by third-party services at your own expense.
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.

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.
