I bought this recently as I was keen to try it out. I can confirm that it looks to be as straight as they say it is and it’s a very nicely made jug for the price. However I’ve found that I don’t actually like it as much with my current machine which is a Sunbeam EM6910. I’ve got my 6910 tuned to give pretty decent steam power, but it’s still well short of some of the prosumer machines.
I think this jug would go much better with a prosumer machine or possibly with a smaller, less powerful machine than mine like a Gaggia Classic for example as the milk stretches really easily in it. (Or with a commercial machine of course). The current price on these from Barista Hustle means they’re about NZ$68 landed depending on the exchange rate on the day. So save yourself a bit and grab a near new one for NZ$50 including shipping within NZ.
In case you don’t already know about the jugs here’s some info from the BH website:
Precise-
Handles and spouts, perfectly aligned in all directions, to +/- 2 millimetres. Perfect alignment means this pitcher pours consistent and symmetrical latte art — every time.
Stainless Steel-
Our stainless steel has a high-sheen glossy silver finish.
Durable-
This is a professional grade tool that’s built tough. Thick 0.9mm stainless bends less and holds shape longer. A fully flush laser welded handle that has no un-washable crevices around the join and is guaranteed to stay on for at least 10 years.
Versatile Spout-
Designed for high accuracy latte art and zero dribbles. Wide enough for slowsettas, narrow enough for detailed pouring. Super versatile.
