About the THAMES × WPM Collaboration

This pitcher is the result of a collaboration between WPM and Bangkok-based barista Platoon "Thames" Seangcharoen, whose competition experience spans Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, including a First Runner-Up finish at the Thailand Latte Art Championship.

Rather than redesigning an already successful pitcher, the collaboration focused on refining the details that influence milk flow, pouring precision, and workflow consistency. The result preserves the familiar feel of WPM's #30 body while introducing thoughtful improvements that benefit both competition and everyday café use.

Design Features

WPM #30 Flat Top Body

The pitcher is built on WPM's #30 flat top body, one of the company's most widely recognized competition platforms. Its balanced proportions provide a familiar feel for experienced baristas while supporting consistent pouring performance across a wide range of latte art styles.

Redesigned Competition Spout

The elongated spout has been refined to produce a controlled, narrow stream of milk that performs well during combination pours and layered latte art patterns. The revised pouring angle improves precision while maintaining smooth milk flow throughout the pour.

Curved Vortex Base

Unlike a traditional flat-bottom pitcher, the curved base encourages a wider vortex during steaming. This promotes more even milk circulation, helping integrate foam more effectively and produce smoother, more consistent microfoam.

Integrated Volume Gauge

The slanted top incorporates an integrated volume gauge that allows baristas to monitor milk levels throughout steaming and pouring. This visual reference helps improve consistency without interrupting workflow.

90° Handle

The ergonomic 90-degree handle provides stability across a variety of grip styles. Whether pouring wide patterns or fine detail work, the handle supports comfortable positioning and controlled movement.

Garnet Multi-Layer Finish

The Garnet Red finish is built using a metallic base coat that creates depth and richness, followed by a fingerprint-resistant protective topcoat. This layered finish helps the pitcher maintain a clean appearance throughout extended café shifts and under the bright lighting of competition stages.

Performance

Recommended Drink Sizes

The 600cc (20oz) capacity is optimized for approximately 10oz milk beverages, making it well suited for cappuccinos, flat whites, and larger competition pours that require additional steaming capacity.

Pouring Characteristics

The redesigned spout and curved base work together to produce a smooth, predictable milk stream with excellent control during layered tulips, rosettas, and free pour designs.

Competition Applications

The integrated volume gauge, balanced body, and ergonomic handle provide the consistency and repeatability that competitive baristas value during practice and on stage. These same characteristics also benefit busy café workflows where consistent milk texture and pouring control are equally important.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this pitcher different from a standard WPM #30 pitcher?

This collaboration retains the familiar WPM #30 body while introducing a redesigned spout, curved vortex base, integrated volume gauge, and signature THAMES branding. These refinements were developed to improve pouring precision and milk flow without changing the handling characteristics that many baristas already prefer.

Why does the curved vortex base matter?

The curved base encourages a wider vortex while steaming, helping incorporate air more evenly into the milk. This supports smoother microfoam and more consistent pouring performance.

What beverage size is this pitcher designed for?

The 600cc (20oz) capacity is best suited for approximately 10oz milk beverages and provides sufficient capacity for competition routines and café service.

Is the Garnet finish purely cosmetic?

No. The Garnet finish combines a metallic base coat with a fingerprint-resistant protective topcoat. In addition to its distinctive appearance, the finish helps reduce visible fingerprints and maintains a cleaner presentation during regular use.

The 600cc / 20oz THAMES × WPM Free Pour Latte Art Competition Pitcher in Garnet reflects a thoughtful collaboration between one of specialty coffee's leading equipment manufacturers and an accomplished competition barista.
