The push forward has been an aha moment for me, great tip! Would love to see an advanced milk steaming video that goes into the more nuanced/micro aspects. It's one of the things I'm really struggling to nail down, especially since my steam wand heats up my milk fairly quickly.

@LanceHedrick 2 жыл бұрын

Have you watched my long form video? That's literally all I do. I don't think overcomplicating it is super helpful. Getting the position right and practicing control of the stretching is all it is! You got this! Takes baristas anywhere from a week to a couple of months on bar to nail sometimes.

@tylerhilligoss 2 жыл бұрын

@@LanceHedrick I have and it was incredibly helpful! I find myself getting bubbles that are hard to tap out but I do occasionally get some good steams. A couple things that have helped me have been looking at how the milk sticks to the side wall during swirls as well as the sound changes (the latter you mentioned but didn't go into the details). Perhaps a video similar to this where you talk about mistakes you see people make as they learn how to steam or good ways to identify what you need to change when you see certain indications of poorly steamed milk. Either way, keep up the great content it has been absolutely indispensable!

When pouring art into notNeutral Lino single cappuccino cups (5 oz), I often blow out (flatten) the bottom of my art. I've always assumed it was because the cup isn't a perfect circle-because it doesn't happen with my other cups. I now realize that although the cup shape is part of the issue, starting higher may help a lot. Great video.

It is great if you have a good coffee machine but . . . most people watching on here want to try it at home. Yes, I know you will frown uppon people using a french press etc. but I ( and thousands of others ) just want to present latte art at home. Without a machine. It doesn't have to be top quality like yours but just any tips from you Lance would be most helpful. If someone has already got access to a coffee house machine, then they are already halfway there and probably got access to tuition in Latte art anyway at their work.

Great video! Your videos often have a way of dialing in (pun intended) on the the things that others often leave out. One question I do have, is how important is the cup you pour into? Are there any things you do differently when pouring into one of your latte cups vs a less ideally shaped vessel?

@LanceHedrick 2 жыл бұрын

Steeper the cup, harder the art. For steep cups, fill more before starting your design. And tilt aggressively, pouring quickly

This probably isn't worth a youtube video, but I'd love to see latte art tips for non latte mugs - like a travel mug, or a regular dinner coffee mug. It seems possible from videos and being at certain places that do it (hello coffee trucks with coffee cup latte art), but all tip videos are specifically built around a huge super wide half and shallow, bowl like shaped latte cup.

@heckandahalf1634 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Lance, I think pouring the art is something that will come with practice, but the skill is really in getting the texture perfect. Also, no one has talked about the importance of the espresso you're pouring into as a canvas. Isn't this quite important to the fluid dynamics of it all, also? My espresso often doesn't look as ready to be painted as does yours or Emily's, so there must be something to that as well. Perhaps an idea for a future video.

@LanceHedrick 2 жыл бұрын

I've discussed texture at length. And espresso is certainly something that can help but isn't mandatory. Can pour into cocoa powder just fine.
