I couldn't figure out how to make steaming milk, but it helped me a lot because I was able to figure out what was wrong with my steaming milk. I think it will be easier to adapt because all the environments in the video are very similar to me. Thank you for sharing a good video.

Another great video Brian. Needed this one.

I personally don't think there's a standard of how much air you can and can't have, or how thick or thin the milk is--it's preference and the style of drink you're making. I find the key to success is really about how well you can execute incorporation of air (desired texture) while also hitting the temperature you need to either 1) reach desired milk sweetness (and different milks will behave differently) or 2) get the drink at the desired temperature you like to enjoy it at.

OMG you are my favorite channel. I just watched one other video, then saw this title. I literally have not steamed on my Decent because I feel clueless, after reading about it, how to do it right. When I try, I get milk everywhere. (I'm a brew coffee guy, the decent is my first and probably last foray into espresso!) By the way, I see the accupuncture needles. I made a WDT with them and it works great.

people (specially barista) are confused about the right milk steaming technique! it’s all right! it’s depends on what you want! it’s that easy 😅

Great vid! Your illustration helps even for other espresso machines. It’s very clear. I have a question, isn’t more challenging to steam milk while the pitchers are outside the fridge? Do you think if your milk was colder you’d get even better results or it wouldn’t matter? While preparing my espresso, I leave the pitcher with the milk in the ‘freezer’ so it’s as cold as possible.

Thank you for this video. I already tried your tips and it works great ! What's your calibration for steaming with de DE1?

Love the videos Brian - are those 6 oz glasses?

I prefer the first one and usually the texture I aim for. Lol. #3 texture is too thin for me, but easier to produce complex latte art. IMO, foam is too thick when you can’t make latte art (because foam isn’t thin enough to have good petal separation) and #1 still produced great latte art with good petal separation.

hi Brian! :) I'm wondering if you already pulled a shot and steam milk back to back to the point where you will feel that the machine is getting tired? I've been really interested with this machine because i want better tasting coffee as well but at the same time i also want to practice latte art from time to time :) do you think the machine can keep up? :) thank you so much for this video! :)

are you able to change steam tips?

Brian, what temp are you using? Do you just go until it’s uncomfortable to hold and figure it’s about 165?

Which de are you using and what voltage?

Hey! I'm interested to get this, but are you able to steam and brew at the same time?

Don't you have to purge the steam wand before steaming with the Decent?

I don’t know man. Even the example that’s supposed to work, didn’t. 😅

His examples are horrible. So, he explains how he makes mistakes but dont put in the title "Tutorial" since Im expecting an actual tutorial... not just your examples of mistakes. Please consider of not just taking that one take and take multiple takes so you can show proper examples of bad... good... best.
