Milk Carton Pourer

I buy my milk in 2ltr cartons with the screw top. Does anyone know if you can get a pourer that fits these. I always end up putting to much milk in my tea, I know I could put it into a jug but I would rather have a pourer.Thanks :coffee:

    Hello freya18th


    Could it be your pouring action that is the problem here? Are you tipping the carton forward too far because you worry about the milk dribbling out of the spout and down the milk carton?

    A way around this pouring problem is to use a spoon to act as a pouring aid. Hold the spoon over the mug/cup and hold the handle of the spoon against the milk carton spout. As you begin to pour, the milk will slowly and gently trickle down the handle of the spoon and shouldn't dribble down the carton.

    Try it and report back.

    I have poured thinner liquids than milk using this method, without spilling a drop. If it works for you, it will save you the expense of buying a pouring spout too.

    Kind Regards
