I bougth a Lelit Machine (expresso machine) less than a year. I'm trying latte art since the first day. Probably I've seen more than 300 vídeos, tutorial videos. I saw your video yesterday, this one and another ones, and in a moment of this video I listening how you explain the correct way to inject the air, at the scary part, LESS IS MORE, you have to be GENTLE ... the sound of the air ("tse, tse, tse ...") I've done it today, I have think in all this words while I've been injectiing the air in the milk ... anb for the first time in my live, I've prepared a more or less good cream. Oh Emilee, you are my coffee goddess. Thank's a lot!!

This is the best milk steaming tutorial I've seen to date. I practiced a bunch following your instructions and I think I'm finally getting good microfoam! One thing you might want to mention is that people might need to play with the angle of their wand a bit. I have four holes on my wand and the top two were creating big bubbles all the time because I had wand too tilted up. Once I figured out this was the issue, I tilted the wand down a bit more and suddenly no more big bubbles. Now I can start trying actual latte art!

Thank you for the amazing explanation, great detail that was actually useful. I've watched numerous videos and had good progress but I'm feeling a bit stuck. After this I feel I have new things to try. The difference with my machine is I'm using an automatic delonghi Magnifica and the steamer is much weaker than professional machines so the process is longer than what ppl show and I'm trying to adapt. Cheers!

I‘ve been a barista now for over 15 years and have never come across an explanation as good as yours. Just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks. Would be interested in hearing what you had to say on reusing milk that has already been steamed - something that‘s always a huge issue in out coffeeshop in trying to find a balance between quality and waste. Am looking forward to the rest of your content!

@EmileeBryant Жыл бұрын

Awww thank you! Really happy you found value here! So for me I would argue you should not resteam milk for a few reasons. It opens the potential of repeated reuse of milk which means less cleaning in between steams and you can start to get bacteria growth from the milk hanging out in the pitcher at warm and room temps. Then there is the flavor impact. Once you complete steaming and the milk is done, saving. Some and adding it to cold milk to re steam will continue to denature the proteins and will ruin the structure and very likely taste. (Or maybe it does nothing to our perception since it’s so little) but would be best to avoid altogether. You can take a mental note on how much waste you have (small drinks like cortados will have a bit of waste is if made alone. Other wise you can batch drinks and steam enough for a cortado AND a latte or something like that. Use less milk until you have almost no waste and you’ll find the drinks are more consistent. It will help latte art too!

My personal experience working with homemade almond milk and store bought is that the foam is too thick and too heavy to be usable for latte art. It's fine for Cappuccinos where you're just pouring it and dropping cinnamon on top. Though my feeble attempts at hearts did result probably in a new latte art design: the amoeba. As for Califia Farms "Barista" blends - specifically their unsweetened almond: it does not maintain any foam whatsoever. Steaming only heats it. Any foam generated dissipates immediately once the liquid is disturbed. I bought six containers of that stuff and ended up using it to mix protein shakes. Full fat whole milk is best for latte art, but not good to drink daily - you'll pack on pounds fast. The heart in my chest is more important than a heart in my cup.
