    You can do a quick rinse of the 600ml jug easy enough.
    Leave the 1 litre jugs alone.
    And use use the 350ml one if you are doing 3 of one kind of milk.
    600ml for 2 and 350ml for the 3rd.

    Im having people over for dinner tonight and for the first time im going to have to make 5-6 coffees at the same time (half of them soy, the rest regular).

    My small jugs (350ml) are too small and my basic machine isnt powerful enough to steam milk 5-6 times in a row so theyre out of the question.
    Ive only got one 600ml jug so given i need to do two types of milk thats probably not a goer either, which leaves me with the dreaded one litre jugs.

    Ive only used them once before and being so used to the tiny jugs, its going to be an experience trying to texture the milk satisfactorily.

    Wish me luck. ;D

    What size latté? My double latté fits comfortably into a 110ml cup.

    And why would you want a milk frothing jug for your jeans (chinos)? 8-) You planning on carrying it in a pocket? : (Is that a milk frothing jug in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?) ;D

    I have a 750ml Motta 500ml Motta 400ml bell shape and 2/300ml std and I use them all depending on what type of cup or latte Glass I am serving and they are all in the fridge which I get some feed back from the Boss about taken over shelf space

    very good point , would imagine its ideal to really be a 600ml(300ish mils of milk) or 1 lt max (500ish mls of milk)
    Yep,

    Used to own an almost identical machine and it worked fine with the 600ml jug 8-)..... Still used the above proviso though, 300ml for when only one Latte/Cappa was required,

    Yer good idea to get it back on topic ;D

    What I meant was that peoples comments on this issue are often dependent upon their specific machine. For my gaggia classic (single boiler non-e61) I would only ever use my 300ml jug because I knew its limits - so it was one latte at a time. However, with the dual boiler expobar, I know I can steam 600ml easily so I adopt this method.
    For your lelit combi, you will have to find its limits.

    Completely depends on the size of your boiler
    Completely?

    My Expobar has a 2 litre boiler and handles a 600ml jug.
    So are you saying that if I had a commercial machine with a 12 litre boiler I should be using a 3.5 litre jug?  :-?
    Is a 3.5L jug one of the options present in this poll?
    should be! ;D

    now now kids

    I personally only ever make 2 or more thanks to my loving family, so a 750ml motta for me, split into another 600ml to pour, i personally find my 600ml run of the mill jug just the best for piccolo latte art
