Abstract
A multi-purpose jug with temperature indicator, wherein the jug is formed from a material having high thermal conductivity, including a liquid crystal thermometer attached to a side of the jug, the thermometer being arranged to indicate temperatures of liquid within the jug from 35 degrees Celsius to greater than 65 degrees Celsius, wherein the liquid crystal thermometer is in the form of a label adhered to the external side of the jug and is sealed with a layer of resin covering the label.
Description
- The invention relates to a jug with a temperature indicator, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a jug with a temperature indicator which is suitable for steaming milk in the process of preparing coffee for consumption.
- It is known to prepare coffee beverage for consumption by steaming milk so as to make coffee beverages in the styles of cappuccino, cafe latte and the like. It is known that the temperature to which the milk is heated is critical in order to optimise the quality of the steamed milk. For this purpose, it is common to insert a separate conventional probe-type thermometer into the milk during steaming so that the milk can be brought to the correct temperature. However, using a probe type thermometer in this way can be inconvenient, and can also cause cross contamination.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,324,963 and Australian Patent No. 2009101190 have proposed milk frothing jugs with temperature indicators, however the applicant has identified that the utility of these previously proposed jugs is quite limited, and that the longevity may also be limited. More particularly, with reference to Australian Patent No. 2009101190, the milk frothing jug has a temperature indicator which indicates milk inside the jug being brought to only a single specific temperature. Also, the temperature indicator is attached to the jug in the form of a label which will deteriorate over time and will be likely to be separated from the jug through repeated use of the jug and repeated dishwasher cycles.
- The applicant has identified that there are significant limitations to existing milk frothing jugs, and that it would be beneficial to provide an improved jug with temperature indicator which would be suitable for an expanded range of applications and would have an improved longevity.
- Examples of the present invention seek to provide a jug with temperature indicator which overcomes or at least alleviates one or more disadvantages associated with previous milk frothing jugs.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-purpose jug with temperature indicator, wherein the jug is formed from a material having high thermal conductivity, including a liquid crystal thermometer attached to a side of the jug, the thermometer being arranged to indicate temperatures of liquid within the jug from 35 degrees Celsius to greater than 65 degrees Celsius, wherein the liquid crystal thermometer is in the form of a label adhered to the external side of the jug and is sealed with a layer of resin covering the label.
- Preferably, the material is stainless steel.
- Preferably, the thermometer is arranged to indicate temperatures of liquid within the jug from 35 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius.
- Preferably, the liquid crystal thermometer has a series of separate cells which indicate specific temperatures in predetermined intervals.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of using a multi-purpose jug as described above, including the steps of heating/cooling water in the jug using the liquid crystal thermometer to bring the water to a temperature of approximately 35 degrees Celsius for making dough, and steaming milk in the jug using the liquid crystal thermometer to bring the milk to a temperature of approximately 65 degrees Celsius.
- The invention is described, by way of non-limiting example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of a jug with temperature indicator in accordance with an example of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an opposite side view of the jug shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the temperature indicator of the jug shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the temperature indicator attached to the jug, in accordance with one example; -
FIG. 5 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the temperature indicator attached to the jug in accordance with another example; -
FIG. 6 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the temperature indicator attached to the jug in accordance with yet another example; and -
FIG. 7 is a detailed view of a lower portion of the jug shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . - With reference to
FIGS. 1 to 7 of the drawings, there is shown ajug 10 with atemperature indicator 12 which is suitable for frothing milk in the preparation of coffee beverages for consumption. Thejug 10 is formed from a material having high thermal conductivity, and includes thetemperature indicator 12 in the form of aliquid crystal thermometer 14 attached to an external side of thejug 10. Thethermometer 14 is arranged to indicate temperatures of liquid within thejug 10 from 35° C. to greater than 65° C. Theliquid crystal thermometer 14 is in the form of a label adhered to the external side of thejug 10, and is sealed with a layer ofresin 16 covering the label. - In the example of the invention depicted in the drawings, the material of the
jug 10 is stainless steel, which has high thermal conductivity such that the temperature of the liquid within the jug is readily transmitted to theliquid crystal thermometer 14 such that the temperature shown on thethermometer 14 is accurate. The example depicted in the drawings has theliquid crystal thermometer 14 arranged to indicate temperatures of liquid within thejug 10 from 35° C. to 85° C. More specifically, theliquid crystal thermometer 14 has a series ofseparate cells 18 which indicate specific temperatures in predetermined intervals. The arrangement shown hassufficient cells 18 to indicate temperatures in 5° C. intervals from the lower bound of 35° C. to the upper bound of 85° C., with each cell being associated with a specific temperature. However, due to the nature of operation of thecells 18, temperatures within each interval can be identified by the change in appearance, particularly in the change of colour, of the neighbouring cell orcells 18. - Although the preferred example depicted in the drawings has the lower bound of 35° C. and the upper bound of 85° C., it will be appreciated by people skilled in the art that different values may be used provided the range of 35° C. to 65° C. is accounted for. In particular, the applicant has identified that it would be useful for the
jug 10 to have utility in identifying the correct temperature of water to be used in the preparation of dough, for example for making pizza or bread. For this application, the optimum temperature is just greater than 35° C., that being the temperature at which yeast will start to react. It is important for the temperature to be accurate, as yeast will die in temperature above 45° C. to 50° C. In addition to being useful for identifying the correct temperature of water for the preparation of dough, thejug 10 is also useful for identifying the correct temperature of steamed milk for the preparation of coffee beverages, which has been found to be in the order of 65° C. -
FIG. 3 shows a detailed view of theliquid crystal thermometer 14 in which thecell 18 a associated with the temperature of 60° C. may be represented in a different colour, or may change to a different colour, so that the user can readily identify that the frothed milk is at the correct temperature. In a similar manner, the cell associated with the temperature of 35° C. and/or the cell associated with the temperature of 40° C. may be coloured differently so that the user may also readily identify the correct temperature in the preparation of water for making dough. Theliquid crystal thermometer 14 may be labelled with a brand such as “Latte pro”, as shown. -
FIGS. 4 to 6 show different examples of detailed cross-sectional views of attachment of theliquid crystal thermometer 14 to thejug 10. In each example, a layer ofresin 16 is used to cover theliquid crystal thermometer 14 so as to prevent it from being removed during repeated cycles of use of thejug 10, which will include fluctuations in temperatures and harsh conditions, particularly in dishwashers. Specifically, inFIG. 4 , theliquid crystal thermometer 14 is housed within anindentation 20 formed in a side of thejug 10 with the layer ofresin 16 being applied over the liquid crystal thermometer so as to be flush with the surrounding surface of thejug 10. With reference toFIG. 5 , thejug 10 is provided with astainless steel frame 22 which surrounds and protects theliquid crystal thermometer 14. In this case, theresin 16 is formed in a layer which is flush with the surroundingframe 22. InFIG. 6 , theliquid crystal thermometer 14 is applied to the side of thejug 10, without an indentation or aframe 22. In this case, theliquid crystal thermometer 14 is covered by a layer ofresin 16 which extends over each extremity of theliquid crystal thermometer 14 so as to protect thethermometer 14 from inadvertent removal. -
FIG. 7 shows a detailed side view of a lower portion of thejug 10 with theliquid crystal thermometer 14 attached. - While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not by way of limitation. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the relevant art that various changes in form and detail can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
