The Top 6 Latte Art Mistakes

Sam breaks down the six areas that baristas struggle to overcome in their mastery of latte art, so you can finally nail that drink presentation on the bar.

:39 - Your pitcher and mug
1:44 - Pour height and timing
2:35 - Commitment issues
3:43 - The wiggle
4:36 - The strikethrough
5:55 - Two cups, one pitcher

it was super helpful to get the side shots to really see how great the distance from the cup is supposed to be!

It's funny how she was working so hard to mess up to demonstrate the mistakes. And even so the art came out nicely from some of the mistakes. 🤣

EXCELLENT vid, Sam and you nailed me (along with quite a few others, I'm sure.) I got the milk, pitcher, and correct cups BUT, lots of cloud snakes, etc. 🙂

Really helpful, especially the strike-through explanation and, well, really all of it.

some super fantastic thoughts and tips here that i have not heard anywhere else on the tons of latte art videos

Great video Sam! What size milk pitchers would you recommend accordingly to both latte and cappuccino size cups? Thank you! Cheers! ☕

[marksangria]

omg Sam you are ADORABLE. I really enjoyed this video. best from Clive lately. (if the latte tips didn't sell me already, the wink did 😉)

One thing I struggle with is art for cortados. I have the notneutral cortado glasses, and I want to make simple art. What size pitchers do you use for cortados? Is it possible to steam a small amount of milk for a cortado without wasting too much milk I won't use? Am I looking for a unicorn?

A great teacher-praise

Why didn’t I get a call to help drink the latte art disasters? 😢😜-criticism

[NoobToobSteak]

I wish I knew what was wrong with my art. The milk won’t float 😢

[sdsupple]

I am a huge offender of 2 drinks with one pitcher. The double cortado from 1 pitcher just makes too much sense!

I do not get this latte art thing. It is like "Let's make this terrible tasting meal look pretty".
