Inexpensive and easy to read even without glasses, and does the job. At first the thermometer will do nothing, then all of a sudden it really moves, so I am glad to have a thermometer or I would probably burn the milk, because I am just starting. Hope that it is a long-lasting product.

This is an excellent buy! [Posted on 2008-06-16]
I recently purchased a new espresso maker and wanted to make sure I was frothing the milk correctly. I purchased the Taylor Classic. It has been an excellent investment. It works well and the price is most reasonable. I'm very happy with this thermometer.

Avoid this model! [Posted on 2008-06-21]
First, I feel foolish for having bought this thermometer in the first place, seeing as the range on the display is 120-180. This essentially eliminates being able to ensure that milk to be frothed is cold enough. Plus, milk for lattes should never be stretched beyond 100 (even lower if you have a more powerful frother), which, obviously, is below the range of this thermometer. Then there's the responsiveness problem. By the time this thermometer registers 140, the milk is already screeching violently.

I bought this thermometer to replace a digital instant-read thermometer that I had ruined by keeping it too close to a hot grill. But I'll definitely be buying a better thermometer.

Plus - Easy to read, non-adjustable, very responsive
Minus - Clip does not fit the Krups XS5020 Frothing Pitcher tightly. If it did it would be 5 stars

wonderful little thermometer. Allows you to make cappucino froth just like the big guys. Only consideration is that it is only 5 inches long. Not meant for tall container. Get a frothing cup to fit.
