Thank you for actually explaining how you steam the milk. Would love to see you steam some oat milk and wonder how using oat milk would affect how much air we should be adding. Can’t wait to try out the manual steaming.
Manual steaming makes such a big difference. I might make a video about different dairy alternatives- if you’re doing it yourself the technique is exactly the same, but it can be less forgiving, especially at high temperatures, so it may take some trial and error. Also it’s worth getting the ‘barista’ version of whatever milk alternative you are using, as it will be designed to hold its texture and taste better when heated.
While you’re setting up the machine, go for something like Lavazza. It’s cheap and consistent. Once you’ve got the machine dialled in there’s no right or wrong, experiment and see what you like. I’ve been getting coffee from The BeanShop recently, they have some nice ones
Not really- the grind time and size are carried across all recipes. Each recipe has its own bespoke milk setting. There shoot time will default to 30s for a double or 25s for manual. I just save a manual recipe which I use for all my drinks, so all I have to do is vary how I steam the milk depending what I’m making- I always manually steam it, so the milk settings don’t make a difference
how does this differ from a latte. And what does selecting flat white change as opposed to pressing latte on the screenn? Surely the automatic frother doesnt change how it froths the milk
With a latte, you are using more milk for the amount of coffee. Possibly also slightly even less texture on the milk for a latte depending on how you like it. On the machine, the only difference when you select them is The level of milk texture and temperature.
A flat while typically contains a double shot in each drink, so this amount of milk is for 1 drink (4-6oz). You could use a smaller amount of coffee to your own taste if you prefer
Yes, more drinks please. I’m getting this machine for Christmas and I love how you made this simple and easy to understand. Thank you!
beautiful work man! Loved the art aswell, well done!
Getting my own barista touch in a couple days, so thanks for the video!

So helpful! Thank you
Great video,mate!
You are art i like the coffee ☕ color
great guide thank you very much. can I ask you please about the grind size is more fine or coarse?
Lower number is smaller grind size. 👍
Thanks is it a single or double ? Thanks
It’s a double shot of espresso, with approximately twice that of milk
Just got this machine today. Can anyone recommend best beans to buy? Thanks (Flat white's my drink!)

So if you pull a double shot? How do you know how much milk to use? I'm so confused. Lol
