Subminimal Flowtip Milk Pitcher 450 ml – precise pour for latte art
The stream narrows, almost like a pen, and draws a fine, calm line across the crema – and in the next moment, a small tilt, it spreads into soft waves. The milk follows your hand, not the other way around. It's exactly this feeling of control that puts the Flowtip on so many counters.
A reduced design, a thoughtfully shaped spout – and a pitcher that leaves little to chance when you pour.
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 pull wide, elegant waves – and the fine, sharp tip lets you draw the very thin lines that create detail.
So the shape itself becomes the tool: the same jug for soft surfaces and fine lines, depending on how you tilt it. The Flowtip is made from 304 stainless steel, holds around 450 millilitres and weighs a light 250 grams or so. The handle is heat-resistant and ergonomically shaped, so it stays comfortable in the 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 you need a suitable base. Nobody needs a pitcher like this – you want it. And if you want it, you know why. Our opinion is one of many.

Who it's for
For everyone who values a controlled, precise pour – and a pitcher that looks good on the counter. Whether you're practising fine detail work or simply want to pour a clean cappuccino every morning: the Flowtip goes with both. The handy 450 ml size fits especially well for one to two drinks.
What to pair it with
We're the importer of Subminimal – you'll find the whole 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 your machine's steam wand delivers the foam for latte art – from the compact one for the coffee corner to the La Marzocco in our Espresso Machines. Want to compare other pitcher shapes: affordable and precise are the pitchers from the Normcore Collection, while the Weber Workshops Collection shows the especially finely crafted side. And beneath the milk, dense Espresso Beans carry the drink.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Flowtip spout do?
The spout is shaped so that with the same pitcher you can pour both wide, soft waves and fine, thin lines – depending on how much you tilt it. That gives you plenty of room 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 stoves you need a suitable induction-compatible base.
What size is the Flowtip and how many cups does it hold?
It holds around 450 ml – good for one to two milk drinks. For frothing: leave a bit of room at the top, and the milk textures most beautifully.
Can I see the pitcher in person before buying?
Very much so. In our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can experience it live. Online we deliver in 2–4 working days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
A tip from our coffee roastery
A precise pour deserves an espresso with backbone. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight stay present beneath the milk, full-bodied and sweet. For maximum body without acidity, the Very Nutty, for a fruity experience the Wild Peach. That's our recommendation – one of many.
