CDN ProAccurate® Instant Read Beverage Frothing Thermometer with Clip for Precise Temperature Measurement, 5" Stainless Steel Stem, Yellow Case (IRB220-F)

I don't know if all thermometers do this when you suddenly dipped into boiling water from room temperature but the needle flickers/skips to the higher temperature instead of rising slowly. I'm guessing it does this because it is a big dial and your normally suppose to gradually go up in temperature and not instantly shock it. The needle goes back down smoothly though when taken out of the water back to room temperature.The metal beaker/cup clip does not seem to be adjustable and is fixed at the top of the thermometer with the connecting part coming down 1.5" from the dial. So you can technically adjust the depth of the tip from a range about 1 inch.This is my first thermometer so I do not know if the "flickering up" is normal but it seems to be giving me an accurate measure. It comes with a calibration tool or you can use a small wrench to calibrate it depending on your need. Besides that, the thermometer works great and is sensitive enough to show from room temp to when I am gripping it. Great product with a large dial for a great price.

I ordered this for yogurt making, and it's perfect! I calibrated the thermometer with the standard boil test, and it was only off by one degree, which I felt was totally within reasonable error. Though if you're really concerned about it, it comes with a calibration tool (its the black tube in the product picture). The thermometer seems pretty accurate and really allows me to control the milk boil/simmer for yogurt. The clip is really handy and works really well, keeping the thermometer in place. I imagine this would be great for frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos, but the stem might be a little long. If you're looking for a beverage thermometer, you might check out something like this: CDN IRB220-F ProAccurate Insta-Read NSF Beverage & Frothing Thermometer. It has a shorter stem.

The thermometer pictured is NOT the thermometer you receive, as many reviewers have commented. The differences are: 1)Print is much smaller on the dial, but still very easily read. 2) The sheath is a single piece of black molded plastic without the "Temperature and recalibration guides" mentioned in the description. Now, all that being said, I didn't realize the differences until I happily sat at my computer to write a review about how pleased I was with the product, and then thought, "Wait, is that right? That looks different..." and compared them. This is a very attractive product, works very well, and I'm exceptionally pleased with it. The only people I wouldn't recommend it to are people who have very bad eyes and are specifically looking for very large numbers. Otherwise, this is a great product you'll be very pleased with.

It works great for steaming milk. Since I've purchased this, I use it every time I make a latte (several times per day). Even with lots of practice and experience, it's not possible to be precise about the milk temperature without a thermometer. So using something like this can help you to always get the perfect temperature.Having said that, however...the temperature is not instantly displayed on this thermometer. It lags quite a bit. I've learned that for 4.5 ounces of milk, I have to stop steaming when the thermometer reads about 15 degrees below where I want it to be, and for 6 ounces, that decreases slightly to about 12 degrees. It will all depend on how powerful your steamer is and how much milk you are steaming, but I think it'll generally be in the ballpark of this thermometer reading 10 to 15 degrees F behind the actual temperature by the end of the steaming.Once you know that, it's easy to use. When I want 155 degree F milk, I just turn off the steam right after it passes the 140 degree mark.

I wanted to steam milk for my lattes, mochas, tea lattes, and cappuccinos, so I bought this milk thermometer. The thermometer does need to be adjusted for accuracy (most thermometers do) I had some trouble tightening it (could not find my pliers). I have noticed it is off about 10 degrees but I think that is because I had trouble adjusting it without pliers. It is easy to read and easy to use. It will fit most steaming/milk pitchers. It was a great price and shipped quickly!

Perfect for temperature measurements when frothing milk

This is a MUST buy if you make lattes at home.

Bought the 1 inch variety to use with steaming milk. I was worried it would be a bit small, but it is the perfect size for me and does not get in the way when steaming milk for my morning latte.

A tiempo y muy útil.

Muy útil para controlar la temperatura de los líquidos

Este termómetro es una excelente herramienta para baristas, la carátula es grande y tiene buena precisión, el vástago es largo e ideal para usar en kettle calentador de agua o jarras de latte art.Aconsejo no sumergirlo en agua y mucho menos hirviendo, pues la tapa de la carátula es plástica y podría derretirse o perderse el sellado hermético y entrarle agua, lo cual lo dejaría inútil.Utilicen el clip y procuren que la carátula este separada del agua o pared del recipiente donde estén calentando, asi les durará mucho tiempo.Lo recomiendo, una compra segura, adelante, y gracias por leer la reseña.

this is the perfect size thermo for froth pitches of small to medium size. Dial is a nice size that you can read without getting bulky and in the way. clip works great be keeping thermo in place on the pitcher. it's not cheap but it is competitively priced for a decent thermo and works well.
