thanks for the lesson. Until now, I'd kinda been gently adding air, probably for like 10-12 seconds, so I was surprised to see you only spend about 6 seconds. The last 2 days I've been trying that - 6 seconds of more aggressive stretching, spending more time churning and incorporating. Seems to be improving my latte art consistency. However, I'm on a Bambino Plus, so, diff steam wand but not sure how diff. It's a 4-hole wand but I don't know if the steam power is weaker than the Dual.

Yeees exactly the video for exactly yall

Thankyou!! Tried this on my Bambino plus and milk is nice and silky 😍

And Alternatively a $5000 check depending on your family’s individual generational wealth

Hopefully I can pepper more in as we go along

That really makes me so happy !! Thank you!

I wish you the best of luck! You're going to crush it!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. And yeah it’s not impossible just long 😅

Happy there were some gems here! Please update me when you can!

@@EmileeBryant - Adjusted the steam power on my Sage Dual Boiler this morning from 135C to 140C and could tell the difference instantly when I did a purge. 👍🏻 Thanks again Emilee for the heads up and please share some more tricks and tips for this machine in future videos. 🙏🏻

So happy you enjoyed! There will also be a video around Christmas to be your Christmas present video.

I'm looking forward to it! Thank you!

Thank you kindly

Of course!

Thank you!

No, thank you!

Of course!

Yeah for sure!

That warms my asymmetrical heart. Tell em to suck it.

Interesting point! Im glad you made the monetary sacrifice for Lart science

I have a few tips! But anything aiming for a corral or macchiato size drink, most of the time produces a bit extra milk waste. Though for smaller flat whites it should be possible without any or much waste! I will make video soon!

@@EmileeBryant Really?? Thanks!!! Looking forward to it!!! And any other of your videos!!!

I will work on that!

I'm interested in this, because a real cortado has VERY little milk. I'm also guilty of over stretching the milk I think. It's a nice creamy feel, but not so good for art 😔

Yes it does and you can do both at the same time! Thank you so much for the kind words and support! Appreciate you!

Hey! You can let it sit for a few seconds. Some people rest the milk longer. I just dont prefer for too much foam to rise prior to pouring to get that shiny pop!.

@@EmileeBryant roger that - thank you!!

Yes!

Crank it UP👶

@@EmileeBryant I really want to upgrade to ECM or Profitec at some point 😘

Glad you enjoyed! If you are working with a slightly lower end model vs the dual boiler, you might find the steam wand a bit too weak for that trick but you should try it anyway and let me know!!

@@EmileeBryant I can make hearts, but I want more art. Two things working against me 1) my steaming - with your teach I'm working on that. Today was better, but I think I need more foam. 2) My cup size I think it is too deep. I can't get the pour spout low enough before my milk runs out. Side note: I don't brew coffee for a living and the model you have I believe is the Breville Oracle Espresso Machine.......much too expensive for my daily cup of brew. Is there another model under $1,000 you recommend? Or perhaps a stand-alone steamer.

Yes. But Honestly with commercial machines I’d be very gentle with the air as they tend to be stronger and and add a ton more in a shorter time

Can you go to my Instagram at some point and DM me a video of this? @emstagrim is my handle. Make sure to say something like (hey I messaged on YT and you said to message here) so I know it’s you. :)

That machine is a bit weaker in general but you’re welcome to try the technique!! I go more to the side for a better vortex with softer steam wands. A ton people are very successful on the bambino! I know lance has videos on it form way way way back

Probably not. You should purge the steam just prior to using it so it can warm up and expel and extra condensation. Also you might have a different model? The barista pro/ almost all the other brevilles are not dual boilers so they take longer to give energy to the steam. Let me know!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5iCntByyJ2sqY0.html This video will show you! Very similar. Around the 2:30-3:00 minute mark but you should watch the whole thing for even more menu goodies.

I don’t know that brand but I can research!

I use the matte black 22oz round spout!

What size for steaming? 😊

I don’t tend to measure in time because machines can vary so much. But it’s probably close to 30 to 40 seconds.

@@EmileeBryant Like start-up time (important but often hidden negative aspect of cool and expensive expresso machines), the time to froth is also important (in my opinion). My current DeLonghi does it in around 90 seconds, but the Profitec Pro 600 in about 12-15 seconds. Big THANKS anyway for a quick and good reply ! ps. extra plus for the 100-dollar note joke :)

I hope this is how it always goes. Other than you being perpetually in a bad day

I can make another video about steam tips but KIIIIIINDA. There is a balance of steam hole amount/ size that is perfect for each person and machine. More holes can mean more jets of steam thus more capability in injecting air but a faster realms of temperature. So if you work on a reaaaaaally cheap machine that doesn’t hold a lot of heat and pressure in the steam boiler or exchanger, you might see a huge dip in pressure when steaming with more holes (again depending on the size too) And the opposite is sometimes true that less holes hold the steam pressure better but inject less air efficiently (kinda) and heat up the milk slower. Than there are weird outlying products like the “foam knife” and “weber variable steam tip”

@@EmileeBryant Thank you for the information

By dots and line what do you mean? Like drawing styles?

@@EmileeBryant Like here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpiZftZer9ampmg.html Those three dots above the seahorse head, and the lines this person is drawing... I have tried to make the dots before, and it just looks terrible! This person's milk does look much thicker than my steamed milk... I might try getting a thicker consistency. If you have any tips, let me know!

As soon as I touch the 1-cup button (holding it or otherwise) the machine starts to brew.

While the machine is off! ❤️

@@michaelyork5617 let me know if that works

@@EmileeBryant Ahh yes! Thank you so much for your fast reply! Love your videos!

@@michaelyork5617 YAY. Of course! I recommend looking up more about that menu! it's got cool features and a reset button if you ever need.

It’s pretty universally understood

LOL love that. Better vortex!

it legit does seem to spin easier counter clockwise to me lmao love from canada xoxo

If you want a machine that makes coffee identical to cafe (9 bars only/extremely great steam pressure and quality built) then go marzocco. For the price and flow capability if you slayer mod it, the breville is more for your buck. Though the steam wand is capable… it’s not as powerful or fast as marzocco.

That is Micra vs BDB

There's a big price difference. Breville Dual Boiler has way more features but it's a plastic machine built in China. LaMarzocco is like a Ferrari, a status symbol handmade in Italy. Don't think either one will make inherently better coffee, unless you have a super sophisticated palate and want to play around with lighter roast specialty coffee beans. Then BDB will be better as you can tinker with all sorts of parameters. If I had unlimited money I'd buy the LM but honestly spending $5k on an espresso machine is silly. I spent $2k on my machine and I still wouldn't tell someone how much money I spent on a machine just to make lattes.

When you win a latte art throwdown you get to keep the opponents bones. It's wild.

I think I have herniated disc right now (today was no fun). I just spent 20 mins on YT watching vids about relieving back pain and then come back to my subscribed feed and there are still spines around.

Thanks! We are all humble scumbags here!

I feel super seen right now 😅

SAY WHAT!? 🩻

Yes indeed.
