MOTTA "Lady" Barista Milk Pitcher – Italian Stainless Steel Pitcher for Latte Art
The milk foam settles like wet paint on the espresso, and with a small flick of the wrist, a fine pattern emerges from a white dot. The Lady is built for precisely this moment: a pitcher from an Italian workshop that sits securely in the hand and pours cleanly.
A barista milk pitcher with a welded, heat-resistant handle and a spout for controlled latte art.
What makes the Lady special
The Lady is made of 18/10 stainless steel (AISI 304) and is entirely manufactured in Italy – Motta has been building such pitchers for decades. The handle is welded and heat-resistant, so it stays comfortable in hand even with warm milk, and the spout is designed for clean pouring.
When frothing, it's all about interplay: the proteins in the milk stabilize the fine air bubbles, the fat gives the foam its silky density, and the shape guides the stream. The Lady is available in several sizes – 350, 450, and 600 milliliters – for a single drink or for two cups. Our opinion is one of many.

Who it's for
For anyone looking for a solidly built pitcher from Italian manufacturing – from a single cappuccino to two cups. If you value a well-fitting, heat-resistant handle, you'll find it here.
What to combine it with
The steam wand of your machine shapes the foam. From compact models for the coffee corner to La Marzocco, you'll find them in our espresso machines; our consultation tool helps with the choice.
If you like to compare other shapes: the pitchers from the Normcore Collection are affordable and precise, while the Weber Workshops Collection showcases the particularly finely crafted side. And under the milk, the espresso plays its part – dense espresso beans round off the drink.

Tip from our coffee roastery
For milk drinks with a prominent espresso, full-bodied roasts are our first choice: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight with chocolate and nutty notes. For maximum body without acidity, try Very Nutty, and for a fruity experience, Wild Peach. This is our recommendation – one of many.
