The professional series milk jug, Europa by Metallurgica Motta oozed style and function when I first layed eyes on it in 2013. Promising creamier and silkier steamed milk for my flat whites and cappuccinos, how could I pass it up? So of course, I put aside the premium cost of about 3x the entry level and grabbed one - a small 350ml polished stainless steel version.
It wasnt long before I realised that while the 35cl 350ml jug was perfect for single coffees, I'd need something bigger for making two coffees at a time. That is when I bought a 500ml cl50 Matt Black teflon coated Motta. It looked wonderful when I first bought it, but after almost two years of daily use and abuse, the matt black exterior coating started to degrade (the inside teflon was still fine).
It was the perfect excuse to upgrade, again, this time opting for a bright orange 750ml 75cl Motta. I'd say its too big for everyday use, unless you are making 20 ounce drinks (large mugs), otherwise the cl50 (500ml) is just perfect.
