Subminimal Flowtip Milk Pitcher 450 ml – Precise Spout for Latte Art
The stream becomes narrow, almost like a pen, drawing a fine, steady line across the crema – and the next moment, with a slight flick, it spreads into soft waves. The milk follows your hand, not the other way around. This feeling of control is precisely why the Flowtip is found on so many counters.
Reduced design, a well-thought-out spout – and a pitcher that leaves little to chance when pouring.
What the Flowtip Spout Can Do
The name comes from the spout. The soft, smooth neck guides the milk evenly to the tip, without turbulence. The side edges of the spout are shaped so you can create broad, elegant waves – and the fine, sharp tip allows for the very thin lines that create details.
Thus, the form itself becomes the tool: the same jug for soft surfaces and fine lines, depending on how you tilt it. The Flowtip is made of 304 stainless steel, with a capacity of approximately 450 milliliters and a light weight of about 250 grams. The handle is heat-resistant and ergonomically shaped, so it remains comfortable in hand even after several drinks.
A nice side effect: the Flowtip is stovetop safe. On gas and electric stoves, you can heat milk directly in it; for induction, a suitable base is needed. Nobody needs a pitcher like this – one wants it. And whoever wants it, knows why. Our opinion is one of many.

Who it's for
For everyone who values a controlled, precise pour – and a pitcher that makes a statement on the counter. Whether you're practicing fine details or simply want to pour a perfect cappuccino every morning: the Flowtip supports both. The handy 450ml size is particularly good for one to two drinks.
What to Combine It With
We are an importer of Subminimal – you can find the entire range in the Subminimal Collection. If you don't have a steam wand, the Subminimal NanoFoamer from the same collection froths your milk by hand.
Otherwise, the steam wand of your machine provides the foam for latte art – from compact models for the coffee corner to La Marzocco in our espresso machines. If you want to compare other pitcher shapes: the pitchers from the Normcore Collection are affordable and precise, while the Weber Workshops Collection shows the particularly finely crafted side. And under the milk, dense espresso beans carry the drink.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Flowtip spout for?
The spout is shaped so that you can pour both broad, soft waves and fine, thin lines with the same pitcher – depending on how much you tilt it. This gives you a lot of flexibility for latte art.
Can I use the Flowtip on the stove?
Yes. On gas and electric stoves, you can heat milk directly in the pitcher. For induction cooktops, you will need a suitable induction-compatible base.
What size is the Flowtip and how many cups does it make?
It holds approximately 450 ml – good for one to two milk drinks. For frothing: leave some space at the top, then the milk can be textured most beautifully.
Can I see the pitcher in person before buying?
Absolutely. You can experience it live in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). We deliver online within 2–4 business days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
Tip from Our Coffee Roastery
A precise pour deserves an espresso with body. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight remain present, full-bodied, and sweet under the milk. For maximum body without acidity, try the Very Nutty, for a fruity experience, the Wild Peach. This is our recommendation – one of many.
