A digital, probe or clamp thermometer tells you the exact temperature of water or milk. In the coffee matter: the filter water goes to 92-96 ° C, hotter for light and slightly less for the dark, and the textured milk, at 55-65 ° C.
If you toss at home, a probe helps to follow the grain temperature and anticipate the first crack, which reaches around 196-205 ° C.
- In favour: cheap and accurate.
- In favour: it serves for water, milk, and tueste.
