How to choose the right Barista Tools

• Match milk jug sizes to your drink menu and volume, choosing smaller jugs for single drinks and larger options for batch steaming.
• Select knock boxes or knock tubes with enough capacity and robustness for your daily shot count and available counter or floor space.
• Choose dredgers with fine or coarse mesh depending on whether you use cocoa, icing sugar or other toppings.
• Consider reusable cup styles, lids and sizes that suit your takeaway trade and storage space behind the counter.
• Look for clear, easy-to-read milk thermometers to help staff hit ideal steaming temperatures consistently.
• Prioritise commercial-grade stainless steel and impact-resistant materials that can withstand constant use and regular cleaning.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse and wash milk jugs and reusable cups promptly after use to prevent milk residue and staining.
• Empty and clean knock boxes frequently, wiping down surfaces to control odours and maintain hygiene standards.
• Soak dredger tops and strainers regularly to clear blocked mesh and keep powder flowing freely.
• Use non-abrasive cleaners on stainless steel tools to avoid scratching and to preserve a professional finish.
• Check milk thermometers for accuracy and damage, replacing any that are difficult to read or out of calibration.
• Store barista tools in organised stations near the coffee machine to reduce clutter and speed up service.
