I'll start by saying this beautiful and pricey frothing pitcher is fantastic, I'd give it 10 stars if I could! Prior to this one, I've tried about 4 different jugs, including the Espro Toroid. Not a one of them is nearly as good as the Motta. I make two cappuccinos for my husband and self every day. I use half and half and contrary what some people believe, it can be frothed beautifully into a thick, rich microfilm if your technique is right. However, with my other pitchers I have always had to waste about half of the milk I use because I needed a sufficiently large volume of milk (usually about 1.5 cups) to get enough microfilm for two cups of coffee.
Now to the Motta. It's only 17 oz, and I worried about it being too small. My Toroid is 20 oz, and I have a couple of others that are about 24 oz. With my other pitchers I'd end up with about a cup of wasted milk each day. With the Motta, I added only about a cup of milk total, measuring up to the small bend in the pitcher shape and a bit below the spout. That is the perfect amount, and due to the overall shape and size I was able to get a good vortex going without it spilling over the top. I got microfoam much more quickly than in my other pitchers, and I got up to the 140° temperature more quickly as well. The quality of the thick microfoam in the Motta is the best I've ever managed, thick, rich and creamy with no bubbles. After pouring it into the two cups, there was less than 1/4 c. of milk left over, so I'll always have much less waste with the Motta.
Looks of the Motta: Absolutely gorgeous, a beautifully machined, smooth, shiny metal with no sharp edges anywhere, plus it is much heavier and thicker than the other pitchers I have (which look cheap by comparison, and my other pitchers were not the cheap kind). It has a really great handle design that is easy to hold. It has a well defined spout. The pitcher looks fairly small, but if your volume of milk is correct and you have the foaming technique down, it is the perfect size to make microfoam for two cups of coffee.
Price comments: Ouch and yikes! compared to competitors, but you really do get what you pay for and to me it is well worth it and a pleasure to use. Over time, I'll save a lot of money since I'll be using. much less half and half. Highly recommended.

Quick Tips
How to Use
- Fill the jug approximately half way or slightly less with good quality cold milk. Milk straight from the fridge is ideal. Insert the steam wand below the surface of the milk and open the steam tap. Gently lower the pitcher until you start to 'foam' the milk by injecting volume into the milk. After a few seconds (how long will depend on how much steam your machine delivers) the volume of milk will increase. Before the milk reaches the top of the jug, raise the pitcher to immerse the steam wand into the milk. Position the pitcher so that the flow of steam creates a mixing action. Heat to your desired temperature, then shut off the steam before removing the pitcher. Now you are ready to create your caffe latte, cappuccino, flat white!!!
Care of your pitcher
- Avoid overheating or scalding the milk
- Rinse throughly after each use
- To clean use soap and hot water or may be used placed in the dishwasher
