Instructions

The Temptag ® will indicate when the ideal milk temperature is reached by changing colour.

• Ensure the metal jug surface is clean and dry.
• Simply attach to your metal jug as illustrated.
• Press and rub the Temptag® to ensure all air bubbles are removed, and you have a solid bond.
• It is recommended that an additional Temptag® be placed on the opposite side for right or left handed use.
• As the yellow window begins to appear, shut off steam immediately to ensure ideal temperature is achieved.

Hygiene

Often, traditional thermometers become very unhygienic and can have health and safety issues if not cared for properly, such issues are:

• being left on the drip tray of coffee machine covered in milk.
• left in a glass of dirty water all day, build up of bacteria.
• transferred from one jug to another, creates cross contamination.
• wiped with either dirty cloths or aprons, transfer of bacteria.
• If not removed from the jug, falls out when pouring.

Consistency

TempTag will promote consistency in many ways. 

Shift rotations will more than likely result in a change of coffee served. Using the TempTag will minimise any changes in the temperature of the milk, giving the customer a consistent coffee no matter who is making it. 

TempTag is ideal for training of new staff.

• Maintaining quality.
• Understanding how different milk types sound and react to steaming.
• Assisting senior staff to ensure consistency at all times.

Put simply, serving a consistent coffee means more people through the door!

Precision

“Take the guess work out of milk preparation”

When is the last time you calibrated your thermometer? 

The reaction of the TempTag is instant, and there are no delays or waiting for correct readings.

Usually, when using traditional thermometers, the steam is cut off at or around 65 degrees. The temperature will continue to rise for 5 – 10 seconds. This method will provide no guarantee the milk hasn't already been burnt. Most people will usually shut off the steam just before 65, allowing for the typical delay in the reading, however, this is really only guessing.

The TempTag will give an instant reaction once milk is at its optimum for serving with coffee, 65 degrees celcius for normal milk and 58 degrees celcius for soy milk.
