The top portion is made of two piece plastic. My initial concern was water penetration, but I've been using it for close to a year now and it works great. Doesn't rust and it's accurate. I do recommend it for household use.
I use my thermometer for not only cappuccino but other things as well (like making sure my water temp is correct for yeast). It is small and nicely attaches to cup or whatever. It is really handy to have.
the clip is weak and doesnt hold well. there are better thermometers out there. temperature gauge is only from 180 to 120. previously I used a office paperclip and a regular digital thermometer and I will return to that setup. check alton brown for the paperclip and thermometer technique.
This thermometer does the job. However, the graduated marks stop at 180 degrees rather than >212. Without the upper scale, you can't tell how accurate this thermometer actually is.
With the free shipping, I was able to combine it with an oil sprayer that she also wanted. I got this for my sister for Christmas. I really love that this site has all the reviews on the products. She is a stay-at-home mom/home schooler/babysitter who really loves a good coffee drink but can't/won't pay the Starbucks $$. She really wanted one of these and I chose this one based on the reviews on this website and others. I do all my research by what others have had to say before making any final decisions. I really love the way that I can save time and money by using the Free Shipping feature, I canget the better item(s) which always makes me happier.
