The Subminimal FlowTip Milk Jug is a stainless steel steaming pitcher engineered for latte art control, available in a handled version for stovetop heating and two handleless versions for a more connected, grip-forward pour. All three share a patented FlowTip spout, a 450 ml total capacity with roughly 180 ml of recommended working volume, and heat-resistant materials throughout. The variant selector above lets you choose the style that fits your workflow.
The FlowTip spout is patented and purpose-built to give poured milk a smooth, predictable trajectory. Most standard pitchers have a spout geometry that makes the final few centimeters of a pour feel unpredictable: the milk fans out or drops too fast. The FlowTip's geometry narrows and directs the stream so that the difference between a rosetta and a formless blob comes down to your hand movement, not the jug fighting you. The recommended 180 ml working volume keeps the milk at a depth where surface tension and flow rate stay consistent through the whole pour.
The handled FlowTip uses a phenolic resin handle that stays cool while the stainless steel body heats on a gas or electric stovetop, up to a maximum of 65°C / 105°F. The handleless versions use an insulating silicone sleeve that wraps the body, giving a secure grip and a more direct sense of the milk's temperature as you steam. Both materials are chosen specifically so that heat from the jug body does not transfer to your hand during a pour.
The stainless steel jug body is dishwasher safe on all versions. The FlowTip Jug is not microwave safe; the metal body makes microwave use unsafe regardless of variant. All versions require a diffuser plate for use on induction stoves; the handleless versions are not recommended for stovetop use at all, as the silicone sleeve can overheat with direct heat contact.

The FlowTip Milk Jug suits home baristas and prosumers who steam milk with an espresso machine and want a pitcher that supports consistent latte art. The handled version is also suited to anyone who heats milk directly on a gas or electric stovetop before steaming or frothing. The 450 ml total volume works well for single or double drinks.
The FlowTip Jug is not suited to microwave use; the stainless steel body makes that unsafe. The handleless versions are not designed for stovetop heating, as the silicone sleeve is not rated for direct heat contact. All versions require a separate diffuser plate for induction use, which is not included. The jug is not designed for large-batch steaming or commercial-volume service.
The handled FlowTip Milk Jug is gas and electric stovetop safe, with a maximum temperature of 65°C / 105°F. The phenolic resin handle is heat resistant but should not be exposed to direct flame. The handleless versions are not recommended for stovetop use, as the silicone sleeve can overheat with direct heat contact. All versions require a separate diffuser plate for induction stoves.
The FlowTip Milk Jug has a total capacity of 450 ml, but the recommended working volume for steaming is approximately 180 ml. Keeping milk at that level gives consistent steam pressure and surface tension through the pour, which is what the FlowTip spout geometry is calibrated for.
Yes, all versions of the FlowTip Milk Jug, handled and handleless, are dishwasher safe. The jug is not microwave safe in any version; the stainless steel body makes microwave use unsafe.
The handled FlowTip Milk Jug uses a phenolic resin handle that stays cool during stovetop heating and gives a traditional pitcher grip. The handleless versions use an insulating silicone sleeve for a more direct, wrap-around grip that many baristas find gives a better sense of control during the pour. Both versions share the same patented FlowTip spout, total capacity, and dishwasher-safe stainless steel body.
The FlowTip Milk Jug requires a separate induction diffuser plate for use on induction stoves; one is not included. This applies to the handled version only. The handleless versions are not recommended for any stovetop use.
