My Rattleware (RW) 20 oz I have had for longer and wash in the same dishwasher as the update one, shows no signs of any damage so I assume it is made of higher quality "stainless" steel. The handle has since corroded in many places and looks awful. My next one will probably be a 12 oz RW to replace this one. I bought this 12 oz UPDATE pitcher from another vendor and was dismayed at the QC of the company. Mine came with little dents in the side. The most recent one, a 16 oz RW bell shaped one (from Amazon) also shows no rust ether.
A 20 oz. This is a decently built pitcher, but too small for good frothing action -- tends to spill over. pitcher seems to work better.This pitcher's dimensions are: about 2.65" wide at the top, about 2.8" wide at the bottom and about 3.6" deep.
The straight sides enable you to get that 'whirlpool' that is critical in making the sought-after 'microfoam'. Don't bother with bell-shaped pitchers.this is the one you need. I'm new to espresso/cappuccino making and this pitcher makes frothing much easier. The smaller size is also a help.
This size does not give you very much frothing room for larger drinks and I will probably purchase the 20oz size soon. Get this for making smaller drinks but if you want more frothing room I would get the 20oz or even larger. This is an ok size for creating a small 2 cup cappaccino with the Mr Coffee Cappaccino Maker. The quality is excellent, sturdy stainless steel and heats the milk alot quicker than a ceramic mug I have been using.
Steams enough milk for 1 serving of double-shot latte. Take into account that steamed milk usually doubles in size if done properly. Very small. When deciding on size, always measure liberally.
