Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Subminimal FlowTip jug different from a standard latte art jug?
The FlowTip features a uniquely designed spout with tangent edges that give milk room to flow smoothly, plus a sharp tip only at the very end — meaning you get both fluid wave-work and fine detail control in the same pour, something most standard jugs cannot offer.
Is the FlowTip jug compatible with the Subminimal NanoFoamer?
Yes. The FlowTip is designed as the ideal companion to the NanoFoamer and works seamlessly with it, though it is also fully compatible with any steam wand or handheld milk frother.
Is 450ml the right size for lattes and flat whites?
Yes — 450ml is the recommended capacity for steaming enough milk for a single latte, flat white, or cappuccino. It gives you sufficient volume to create good vortex and texture without over-producing milk waste.
Can beginners use the FlowTip jug, or is it only for experienced baristas?
The FlowTip is specifically engineered to make latte art easier to learn. The controlled flow design reduces common beginner errors, making it one of the best latte art jugs for people who are just starting out.
