This is probably a stupid question but where is the air you are adding to the milk coming from? The steam wand injects steam which is water vapour. This will condense to water as soon as the temperature is
@EmileeBryant2 жыл бұрын
Its a brilliant question!! I do see beginners struggle with this concept so I usually omit it altogether. But what's happening is the force of the steam is pushing the milk away and leaving an air gap where the milk was. That air gets mixed into the milk and when the whey proteins β-Lactoglobulin starts to denature from heat, the hydrophobic end of the proteins essentially encased the air bubbles in the milk.

This deserves a lot more views... The only thing missing is how these mistakes will result in the milk. Usually when a newbie ask why their latte art is bad, the advices are mostly "you steam too long", "you steam too hot" or "get a better machine". Looking at the milk will provide intel that it's caused by wrong pitcher size / milk volume, stretching too long/short, wrong wand positioning etc.

@EmileeBryant Жыл бұрын
Sure! That’s helpful way to get a foam that’s dense and workable. The reason I try not to recommend it universally is because mooooost people over aerate their milk so letting it sit is often the opposite of what is needed. Granted both methods are great! I personally never let my milk sit but it doesn’t hurt the art so long as you swirl it again before pouring.

That could be the best clearest explanation of steaming ever. It seems I am doing it correct, texture is good taste is good but I am having trouble in bringing it exactly to latte art level.. I can do a mediocre heart but the milk texture does not become good enough for anything more complex. I think it could be bacause my machine’s general steam pressure is not that high (gaggia classic pro). Sonetimes you get a good vortex sometimes you dont. But I like it, a small cute machine.

I'm doing a specific style of latte art (ignore the videos on my channel, those suck) with slightly thinner milk, and when I finish steaming, it looks a certain way. Any more air and when I groom, the milk visibly goes from foamy (even if slightly) to liquid. Any less air and the texture is not satisfying, and the pour is less controllable. And that gentle aeration tip, damn. I realized that a few weeks ago and it really upgraded my texture. I'm glad I got some confirmation on this!!! I have a few questions, though my milk steaming is decent and improving, I struggle more pouring into espresso than into thick hot cocoa. This becomes much worse when I thoroughly mix my espresso before pouring. I asked my latte art teacher, and he says the coffee "eats" the milk foam. I'm not quite sure exactly how to fix this; this issue has been plaguing me all month (been doing a lot of darker roast espresso, maybe it is related?). I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to change my espresso for improving my latte art.
