A Tip From Our Barista Trainers

If you have experienced the beauty of a latte or cappuccino poured with a perfect heart or rosetta pattern on top, you know the great value of the tool necessary to pour these designs, the 20oz or 32oz steaming pitcher. Silky, smooth milk steamed in a spouted pitcher can be poured through a rich viscous espresso base by a skilled and steady hand to create beautiful patterns. At Alterra many baristas are proficient in the skill yet always maintain the quality of a perfect latte or cappuccino. Some are even pouring latte art on mochas and hot chocolates to add the “little something special” for our customers. It is all thanks to our friend the spouted steaming pitcher, so please treasure this important tool!
