Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular brunch spot in Norwich, was struggling with inconsistent milk texture from their generic, mismatched pitchers. They decided to standardise their coffee station with the Olympia CL027 jugs to improve quality and speed.
"Honestly, it's the little things that make a big difference. The Olympia jugs feel right, they steam milk beautifully, and the spouts give our baristas the confidence to pour properly. Our coffee presentation has improved tenfold."
Samuel Jones – Owner
Within a month, the team noted a visible improvement in drink quality and a reduction in milk wastage from re-steaming, contributing to a more efficient workflow during the hectic morning rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give it a good wash with warm, soapy water or run it through the dishwasher.
- Fill with cold milk, ensuring the level stays below the point where the spout begins to avoid overflow when steaming.
- Position the steam wand just below the surface of the milk, slightly off-centre, to get the best vortex going.
- This jug is a tool – get a feel for its balance and how it transfers heat so you can stop steaming at the perfect temperature.
Keeping It Going
- Rinse the jug with cold water immediately after every use. This prevents milk proteins from sticking and hardening.
- The jug is fully commercial dishwasher safe for a thorough daily clean.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the stainless steel surface.
- Regularly check the inside for any milk residue build-up and the spout for any blockages to ensure perfect pours.

Explore more from EGLHow the Bowed Base Creates Silky Microfoam
Ever wondered how baristas get that incredibly smooth, glossy milk texture? A big part of the secret lies in the shape of the jug. The Olympia CL027 features a distinct 'bowed' or curved base. This isn't just for looks; it's a clever piece of fluid dynamics. When you introduce steam from the wand, this curved shape encourages the milk to spin into a controlled whirlpool or 'vortex'.
Think of it like stirring a cup of tea – a flat-bottomed mug can be splashy, but a rounded one creates a smooth swirl. This vortex is crucial because it folds and stretches the milk, breaking down larger air bubbles into microscopic ones. The result is a perfectly integrated, velvety 'microfoam' rather than a stiff, bubbly foam. This silky texture is what allows for detailed latte art and gives lattes and cappuccinos their signature luxurious mouthfeel.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Coffee Shops: This 500ml barista milk jug is the perfect daily driver for consistently excellent flat whites and lattes.

- Mobile Coffee Vans: A tough, reliable, and compact stainless steel milk frothing jug that's built for life on the road.
