Thanks, great advice, I've now discovered as a beginner because I'm taking too long in getting the wand and everything else positioned, I end up foaming hot milk. and this now explains the dry and bubbly foam I'm creating.
Thank you, out of the thousands on 'how to steam' videos on YT you're the only person to explain this important step, thank you for your expertise, appreciated.

your scene of entire process of steam milk will help me much more than anything else i saw in the internet... i mean, people told how to do each part of process, but not show without cuts from beginning to ending the entire process, I already gor each step in my mind, but i really though that i should do it in a way that is totally more complex... because they tell first make air comes into the milk then start the vortex, but both steps are actually one in your case, and not a separeted step, what makes a huge difference, for sure is clear when each part acts on your video, but not in the others due to cuts that make it looks as a whole different timming for each step... i will try with water make the steamming process when i not want some milk a head, but for sure i will use milk because hot milk into coffee is better than cold milk... and mostly important i have a home machine that shred beans into pownder and has steam wand all in one, but is not good as comercial ones, anyway the machine is fine to do really tasty coffee, i could make really nice expresso, the tip i mostly undersmate is the fresh roasted beans, i bought i single package of to thest against one sit for some weeks and makes my mind blow, how different both are, now i just pick beans and use the amount i need to use in a few days, each week buy a new pack will be much more tasty than get a big one, or a bunch of the shelfs and get all into a good expresso coffee but without the max potential LOL Still learning and loving the expresso art
