Question: I have been practicing a lot at work, but I have noticed that I cannot tell when the cup is too angled or about to overflow. I am a lefty, so I am holding the cup kind of backwards. Any advice about how to make sure the milk is coming out at a proper rate and not too fast to overflow the cup?

I helped a friend of mine build his coffee stand. And now I want to figure out how to do this🤣🤣. I literally know nothing about coffee except I drink it black

It was so hard to find a good beginner tutorial, thank you so much!!
I was really curious about latte art. unfortunately I don't have any of this complex coffee machine stuff at home, but I want to try it anyway :)
(I know 0 about coffee though, I just like drinking it)

Just wanted to share (also for the algorithm) that I've been having issues with my texturing coffee and it wasn't worked at all and I was starting to feel bad like I was never going to be able to do it

They helped me figure out what the issue was. Now I can go back to practice practice practice and I know im on the right track. They didn't have to do it at all and I didn't even expect them to see my comment but they did so I cant say thank you enough

Can you use espresso made with a nespresso machine to do lattè art on?

[jbrady]

Hey love your videos. One question, I always have to skim the top off so the pour goes through because it doesn't come out as creamy as yours to pour...why is that? Almost like a capuchino finish as to the texture and not the gravy finish if you know what I mean

Awesome video mate. Been practicing every afternoon when I make a coffee for the misses and myself. We use skim milk so I have found it hard to get the latte art to work. However in saying that I think I have mastered the milk froth and the heart shape. I find I need help with how to push the milk into the centre of the cup.
Do you do this by tilting the cup and once you start to pour you straighten the cup up to move the milk? Can’t wait to make another cup.

i’m excited to give it a shot and have a perfect espresso machine. However, it doesn’t produce much Crema, so I’ll try to find espresso beans that work well.

Hi Gary! Starting to see some real improvements since I've incorporated some of the tips I've learnt from your Bootcamps, but I wanted to ask how you determine the size of the heart. Mine keep coming out tiny! Well formed, but really small. I usually use homemade almond milk, but similar results when I practice with organic full cream as well.

How much ml of milk to use for my 60ml output espresso? ( i am using double shot with 15g coffee bean as input).
And why i am getting a foamy milk like a cappuccino rather than latte😢. Can u please advice on my questions? Thank u

[PontusWelin]

ok! Looks like my biggest issue is wrong size mugs. I'm gonna use smaller ones from now and see if I can get some latte art =)

I have watched so many different videos on how to do latte art and I still can’t even get a monk head to form. I have a delonghi machine at home, I have the nano foamer, and I have a fully automated machine at my church that I’ve been practicing on. Every time I try to pour all that seems to happen is all the milk sinks to the bottom and at the very end, a little bit of thick foam trickles onto the top of the crema. I’ve changed cup angle, pour speed, pitcher style, how I heat the milk when using the foamer, espresso beans…nothing seems to help. Any other tips or advice!? I want to master this so bad and just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

I always alwayssss break the crema, not setting it in. Haha.

I find it really funny, that this is a “beginner’s guide” and we started off with coffee bro science. No offense, it’s funny!
