A GREAT PRODUCT! (on CDN ProAccurate Inst...)
Son Ton | Mon, 05/28/2012This is a really useful and must have tool for serious home barista. The gauge is durable but not too accurate. For that you need a digital gauge.
A MUST HAVE! (on CDN 4-Event Timer & ...)
Son Ton | Mon, 05/28/2012This timer is a must have if you are serious about the quality of your coffee. The application range from timing the brewing of aeropress to the extraction timing of your espresso shot!
GOOD THERMOMETER (on CDN ProAccurate Inst...)
Son Ton | Sun, 05/27/2012This is a good thermometer for measuring water temperature and if you are a novice at steaming you can use it to determine the point at which to stop the steaming to prevent scalding the milk. It is quite pricey for an analog unit however.
A REALLY USEFUL TOOL! (on CDN Loud Alarm Timer)
Son Ton | Sat, 05/26/2012This is a must have tool if you care anything about the quality of your coffee. It can be used to time your espresso shot, to time the amount of time of infusion for french press.
GO BIG (on CDN Extra Big Digit ...)
intrepid510 | Fri, 05/11/2012The large read out on this timer makes it easy to read while doing a pour over, basically having a timer allows for repeatable brewing from drip to espresso.
TIME IT (on CDN Timer on a Rope)
intrepid510 | Fri, 05/11/2012If you are brewing coffee for anything other than an auto drip brewer having a timer is essential and having a stop watch like this makes it a lot easier than setting the microwave or using your cell phone's timer feature.
NICE (on CDN Insta-Read Froth...)
intrepid510 | Fri, 05/11/2012Nice little thermometer provides some nice guidance on when to stop steaming your milk. Just got a remember to stop steaming a little be before you hit the right temp, because while these say insta-read they do take a few seconds to get up to temp.
SOLID (on CDN ProAccurate Inst...)
intrepid510 | Thu, 02/02/2012A thermometer is an excellent device when you first start steaming, just remember that even though it's called insta-read you need to stop steaming about 10 degrees where you want it to stop. The clip keeps it to the pitcher and the sheath protects the thermometer.
GREAT FOR A START (on CDN ProAccurate Inst...)
avaserfi | Sat, 01/28/2012I used one of these for a long time to help me 'calibrate' my hands so I knew what the frothing pitcher felt like at different times. I no longer use the thermometer, but it was invaluable in helping me learn to steam milk properly.
DUAL USE (on CDN Multi-Task Timer...)
EricBNC | Sat, 12/24/2011This is a nice product for keeping track of time and for use as a timer - this will come in very handy for timing coffee brewing when making a manual cup.
GREAT! (on CDN Extra Big Digit ...)
samuellaw178 | Sat, 12/24/2011It's good to have one of these for timing your shot. Plus the big digit helps you to see from afar. Great product
DEDICATED TIMER (on CDN Loud Alarm Timer)
samuellaw178 | Sat, 12/24/2011This is a good timer for timing your shot. I normally use my Iphone but it would be better to have a dedicated one.
5" STEM (on CDN ProAccurate Inst...)
samuellaw178 | Sat, 12/24/2011Make sure that your pitcher fit these before getting it. 5" stem is kinda long for most 12oz pitcher. Temperature monitoring is very useful when frothing to make sure you don't end up with scalded milk.
TIMELY (on CDN Egg-Shaped Timer)
EricBNC | Sat, 12/24/2011Great looking timer - the egg shape add to the appeal of this design and CDN has come up with a winner here - nice gift idea too.
COMPACT CLIP (on CDN Stainless Steel ...)
EricBNC | Thu, 12/22/2011I think holding the thermometer securely is very important to making great frothed milk - this will work with your favorite analog thermometer.
