Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Classic Cappuccino Frothing Dial Thermometer
Customer Review: Economical
Summary: 4 Stars
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
Customer Review: Avoid this model!
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: This is an excellent buy!

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.Customer Review: recommended
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: It Works

As you might expect, it does in fact tell you the temperature of your milk. The clip clips nicely onto a frothing pitcher (to the person who said the clip broke when you clipped it onto a mug a few times - that's because you clipped it onto a mug a few times... it's for a frothing pitcher.) The yellow shading on the "sweet spot" of the dial is clear and useful. It's adequately responsive for the price (in my experience, lag is 3 seconds, not 7 as previous poster mentioned).
In other words, it does exactly as advertised in exactly the manner the price point indicates it would. Perfectly adequate tool for the recreational latte maker.
