We are very happy with the product. If the dial were any larger it would probably get in the way. this thermometer works great. While the dial is not real large, it is easy to read with the red band for optimum milk temps.
My husband and I agree that it's an essential accessory for our cappuccino machine. This thermometer is very fast, as advertised. I like the big red zone that lets me know when my steamed milk is just the right temperature -- even without my glasses.
Can't live without it if you need to froth milk. I really like the Red zone (around 160F) where you just need to watch the hand moving to the Red zone without paying attention to the reading on the face of the thermometer. It is low cost(and the price on Amazon is excellent) and works well and meets the daily need of measuring the temperature when frothing milk. A small warning that the stem is a little long so when you put it into the container to froth milk in the expresso machine, it can't stand straight up (due to the height restriction of the expresso machine).
Haven't used it in a while.I guess you use it when you start to learn, but the after you make several dozen cappuccino's, you learn to do without it. Not bad if you have free shipping as far as price and all.
If I had seen accurate pictures of this, I would not have purchased it.GOOD points: it is accurate, and that's why it's good. Amazon's photo is misleading: the actual dial is NOT the dial on the product page, and the photo shows some sort of guide on the sheath, which is not on the actual one. Of course you do that once, maybe twice ever, so there's little real added value. Also the sheath does have a hex-shaped top that saves you from picking up a pair of pliers to calibrate the boiling point. Also although the "clip" on the sheath is of questionable use, the picture shows a metal one, which should be pretty sturdy. The product however has a one-piece black sheath with a molded clip which gives it a cheap and ugly look.
