This is the perfect accessory for frothing milk for cappuccino, especially if you usually make two cups at the same time. You should use a stainless steel pitcher for frothing anyway, and this one has the added feature of a nonstick coating inside. You can froth your milk while your espresso is brewing, and then both cappuccinos are ready to serve, piping hot, at the same time. Well worth the extra expense for perfect cappuccino!
