reviews and discussions

how to make perfect microfoam

  • 12 oz: fill with 3-5 oz (85-150 ml) of chilled milk
  • 20 oz: fill with 6-10 oz (175-300 ml) of chilled milk
  • steam milk so that the milk-flow forms the toroid shape shown. different positions of the steam wand allow predictable variations in texture of your microfoam
  • continue steaming until the milk reaches your preferred final temperature, usually 130-150°F (55-65°C)
  • tap the pitcher on the counter, and then swirl the microfoam to make it even more smooth and consistent
  • pour and serve


"I like the toroid.
I’ve consistently made microfoam EVERY single time since I first put milk in it. The Toroid was very much a silver bullet for me."

"First go, I found it much easier to produce the best microfoam I have ever achieved...it all seemed to fall into place much quicker."

The Toroid™ Steaming Pitcher

I love lattés. However, when I tried to copy the thick silky foam and the rich milk flavour of my favourite barista, I rarely succeeded. Finding the perfect swirl in my regular pitcher was frustrating and sporadic.
After countless prototypes and lots of input from great baristas, came the Toroid™ pitcher. Finally, I can easily make perfect microfoam every time. Now I am on to perfecting my latte art!
Happy steaming,
