ATTENTION: Re: the music, I understand some of you aren't content with its volume. This was my first video for youtube, so I'd love some grace! I know it has been distracting for some, but there is nothing I can do to change it. I have since heard the criticism and have ditched it in the newer videos. Thank you for your patience as I'm brand new to Youtube. Day 24 here, and that was posted in the first week. Thanks! Perhaps turn on Closed Captioning if you think you are missing information! Cheers

This is absolutely next level instruction. In years as a consultant, trainer, and barista, I’ve never seen this process broken down so clearly and articulately. You’re an absolutely born teacher, man.

This is by far the best and most detailed tutorial I’ve seen for steaming milk. Tomorrow, we steam!!

You are one hell of a teacher. This reminds of the old YouTube days when tutorials were made out of love and not to just for the views.

Just wanted to jump in and say that I've been practicing home barista skills and latte art for about 6 months now, and my milk has been very inconsistent. Some days it was perfect, some days it was a mess. I've watched tons of videos, but this really drilled it in. Because my milk is the same every time now, I can actually practice latte art productively every morning. This was the magic bullet to getting consistent milk.

I’ve been a barista for 7 years, at one point management of a cafe. I have never been able to have proper training. I am in a really great cafe right now being their lead barista, new cafe in a small town. These videos are so useful, as I learn I can help this cafe bring quality coffee to the community and I will be able to train younger people on the machine in the future carrying on the coffee culture!

Hey! I have 5 years experience as a "speed barista", I was never taught the proper technique here by either of my employers. It was all about getting those drinks out fast. But I just started a job at a new café where they do latte art and I confess I was really intimidated by it as I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Then my boss showed me without milk in the pitcher and I had a light bulb moment. Now, watching your video, I see her technique is the exact same as yours so im looking forward to steaming and making more fancy drinks in the future. Thanks for your video.

This made a HUGE difference for me. I've never seen anyone break it down this specifically. Its been about a week and I am blown away at the difference in my milk texture and consistency.

Only 7 minutes in and already have to pause to quickly type this comment: You sir, are a GREAT teacher! Well done! You go over the basics repetitively and thoroughly, so that people can master the basics...as it is truly the foundation for perfectly steamed velvety milk. Bravo! 👏👍

Lance, you are a natural born teacher. You are, throughout the entirety of the video, continually aware of the mind of the beginner. This is empathy and a separator IRT great teachers vs someone who just teaches. As a famous New Yorker once said, "You either gots it... or you don'ts!" So many steaming and latte art videos I've watched over the years. These details you point out are what make the difference. You've made a full Subscriber out of me. Can't wait to watch your other videos. You gots it Lance!

Wow, I've already corrected a few mistakes that I've been making. This was super helpful! You're such a natural in front of the camera btw!

Pure gold! Watched so many videos on this and they never explained what the final texture should look like as well as you have! One of the most helpful things you did was pouring the milk into the cup on it's own. I haven't seen any one do that and it really helps with understanding how it should be without the espresso in the view. I haven't even started yet, but I can't wait! I feel less intimidated by the process now too.
