My order showed up sooner than expected very happy with service unfortunately I am not a coffee shop owner so most things are out of my price range like a $3000 bur grinder so for now I’ll have the coffee shop grind my espresso beans, the steaming thermometer works great.

I have a Rancilio Silvia fitted with a PID. I had been frustrated by my inability to steam milk. Sometimes I would hit it just right, but often I didn't. I did some research and learned that the optimum temperature for microfoam is 140F. This led to the purchase of this thermometer. I never could have anticipated the difference this tool would make in my ability to transform milk into microfoam. The size is perfect (just the right length) and I love the easy-to-read dial, with temps in both C and F; it's great that the 140F sweet spot is designated by a green band. I checked the calibration after I had used it several times, but it was only a (immaterial) degree or two out. The sheath cleverly includes a built-in calibration wrench. But the big surprise was how my use of a thermometer improved my ability to steam milk into microfoam. I no longer have to guess when it's done (my guesses were rarely accurate, even after years of practice). It's now perfect every time. I can't say enough good things about how much this thermometer has improved my lattes! I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

The clip is easy to use and holds great. Temperature is accurate and gets up to speed better than previous lower quality thermometers we had been using.

Love how secure the clamp is. Doesn't wiggle or slide around on the milk pitcher.
