Review: Calibration Tool NOT Included - EDIT: As commenters have mentioned, there are other ways to calibrate than the dedicated tool. desertcart actually gave me two dollars credit so I was encouraged to get the tool. I calibrated, and the thermometer works perfectly. So, I'm bumping the stars from 3 up to 5, and 5 stars to desertcart. This thermometer is a great complement to the Aeropress. /end edit. Original cranky review begins here: I guess the thermometer itself is ok. I won't know until it's calibrated. Like the similar product, the S10, this thermometer is described as "Easy to Calibrate" and as having calibration instructions. That's great, but now that I have it, the instructions say to slip the calibration tool "onto stem with hex nut recess toward themometer dial." But I have no calibration tool. Sure, now that I know that, I can return to desertcart's product page and see it listed as an accessory, but only if I click onto to the second page of accessories. And nowhere in the 6 other current reviews here is the tool mentioned. Did no one else bother to calibrate? Did all six people already have a tool? I don't think so. They didn't mention calibration at all, let alone a separate tool. So, if you want this item, perhaps you should purchase the kit which includes the tool. As for me, I guess I'll have to include the $5 tool in my next order. If I didn't have desertcart Prime, I'd be more upset.
Review: Solid thermometer - I bought this in June of 2014. It is still working. I use it every day. It's a great size and the numbers are easy to read without my reading glasses. You don't need numbers as long as you can see the dial and the color ranges. Espresso milk should be no more than approximately 160 degrees F. Near 180 degrees may burn your lips and it changes the milk consistency. Most espresso stands heat the milk to around 180 degrees because they think it will get cold. Umm, NO!!! At that temperature I now have to wait at least 15 minutes before I can start sipping it. When steaming the milk, stop when the dial gets to the edge of the green area. The dial may register a little hotter after you stop steaming. Perfect. An analog display helps me determine how fast the milk is heating better than with digital thermometers. This is a solid thermometer. For those out there that can't drink dairy, try this soy product: http://www.desertcart.com/Pacific-Natural-Foods-Blenders-Containers/dp/B002FYAONM/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1421004390&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=pacific+barista+series You can get this to steam into the perfect froth, even much easier than milk. It has a great flavor for soy. My wife uses this. I use it when we run out of milk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonably accurate. Works well for steaming milk.
*by H***U on March 21, 2016*

This works pretty well for steaming milk for latte art or cappuccino in general. I checked the accuracy with my Thermapen and it was about 5 degrees lower on multiple attempts. It was more noticeable with higher temperatures near 160. It is also noticeably slower reaching temperature than a Thermapen. These are however not comparable temperatures sensors since this Rattleware is designed to fit on the side of a milk pitcher and the Thermapen is not. These are also not in the same price range, so I don't expect the Rattleware to be as fast and accurate. If you use this Rattleware thermometer, you just have to stop steaming about 10 degrees before you reach your target. For example, if you want to heat to 150 degrees, stop steaming at 140 and you will see the temp eventually climb up to 150 because of the slight delay in sensation of temperature. It will also probably be a few degrees inaccurate.
