I don't know if all thermometers do this when you suddenly dipped into boiling water from room temperature but the needle flickers/skips to the higher temperature instead of rising slowly. I'm guessing it does this because it is a big dial and your normally suppose to gradually go up in temperature and not instantly shock it. The needle goes back down smoothly though when taken out of the water back to room temperature.The metal beaker/cup clip does not seem to be adjustable and is fixed at the top of the thermometer with the connecting part coming down 1.5" from the dial. So you can technically adjust the depth of the tip from a range about 1 inch.This is my first thermometer so I do not know if the "flickering up" is normal but it seems to be giving me an accurate measure. It comes with a calibration tool or you can use a small wrench to calibrate it depending on your need. Besides that, the thermometer works great and is sensitive enough to show from room temp to when I am gripping it. Great product with a large dial for a great price.

I ordered this for yogurt making, and it's perfect! I calibrated the thermometer with the standard boil test, and it was only off by one degree, which I felt was totally within reasonable error. Though if you're really concerned about it, it comes with a calibration tool (its the black tube in the product picture). The thermometer seems pretty accurate and really allows me to control the milk boil/simmer for yogurt. The clip is really handy and works really well, keeping the thermometer in place. I imagine this would be great for frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos, but the stem might be a little long. If you're looking for a beverage thermometer, you might check out something like this: . It has a shorter stem.

I checked its calibration before use and it was right on and agreed within a degree F with our Thermapen One at all temperatures tested. The dial markings make it easy to see when you're about to get into the milk scalding zone. If I destroy this somehow, I'll replace with same.

The thermometer pictured is NOT the thermometer you receive, as many reviewers have commented. The differences are: 1)Print is much smaller on the dial, but still very easily read. 2) The sheath is a single piece of black molded plastic without the "Temperature and recalibration guides" mentioned in the description. Now, all that being said, I didn't realize the differences until I happily sat at my computer to write a review about how pleased I was with the product, and then thought, "Wait, is that right? That looks different..." and compared them. This is a very attractive product, works very well, and I'm exceptionally pleased with it. The only people I wouldn't recommend it to are people who have very bad eyes and are specifically looking for very large numbers. Otherwise, this is a great product you'll be very pleased with.

I wanted to steam milk for my lattes, mochas, tea lattes, and cappuccinos, so I bought this milk thermometer. The thermometer does need to be adjusted for accuracy (most thermometers do) I had some trouble tightening it (could not find my pliers). I have noticed it is off about 10 degrees but I think that is because I had trouble adjusting it without pliers. It is easy to read and easy to use. It will fit most steaming/milk pitchers. It was a great price and shipped quickly!

This product has so far worked exactly as expected. The dail section came with no scratches or damage at all. Dial rises and falls smoothly both going up and down; Haven't seen any "jerkyness" with it jumping around large amounts. Only the first 1-2 inches of the probe have needed to be submerged in my milk for it to give these accurate readings -- Other reviews have stated they needed to submerge a much large percent of the probe to obtain accurate readings, but that wasn't my experience.I don't have any other more accurate thermometer to compare it to, so can't speak to it's precision. However, the readings for steaming milk feel roughly in line with where they should be.

Bought this to go with my new Breville Barista Express to steam milk to the perfect temperature without scalding the milk. I know all the YouTube videos say use her hand to feel when it's too hot to touch then turn off the steam, but I find that if I use my hand, it's too hot for me to touch around 120 degrees and that is not the desired temp for steaming milk! It is easy to read and is not in the way. I put mine on the left side of the steaming pitcher and put the steam wand off toward the right side of the pitcher. Easy peasy. Perfectly steamed mild every time!

Awesome gadget for my cappuccino. I used a digital one for meat before and it sucked. This reads the temp fast and accurate and i dont have to hold it which lets me focus on frothing my milk to perfection

this is the perfect size thermo for froth pitches of small to medium size. Dial is a nice size that you can read without getting bulky and in the way. clip works great be keeping thermo in place on the pitcher. it's not cheap but it is competitively priced for a decent thermo and works well.

Lo utilizo mas en la preparación de té verde. Tengo que usar agua a 70 grados centigrados para que no se amargue y este termómetro me ayuda mucho al momento de calentar el agua. También lo he usado para espumar leche en cafetera de espresso y funciona bien. Solo ten en cuenta que tiene un leve retraso de unos 5 grados en la medición de la temperatura asà que deja de calentar 5 grados antes de llegar a la temperatura deseada
