The milk pitcher is the barista's pouring instrument: its spout shape controls the speed and stream of milk during latte art, and its capacity matches the drink size (12 oz for cortados/flat whites, 20 oz for two lattes). High-end pitchers (Rattleware, Motta, WPM) have refined spout geometry that makes thin-stream pours and broad rosetta patterns easier. Specialty bars cycle through dozens of pitchers a service to keep them cold.
