Very very good video. No bullsxxt, only helpful info. The amount of milk, when to put the steamer deep, and how to practice without milk, those are gold tips.
Thank you so much for posting this and giving so much detail. I have been wasting my milk for over a month now watching video after video and none of the videos ever gave the instruction that the foam needed to be made when the milk is cold. Thanks again!
Been looking for good videos and have found nothing until this one. Love it made me all excited to dig into this coffee world ... It truly is art ... Great video
I was watching millions of videos and couldn't get it right here is a tip... Take enough milk for one portion only Steam clockwise. You need see milk is spining around not bobling! And now. Count to 9 maximum 10 second. Always coming right milk Please come back and comment if it works for you
The type and even brand of milk makes a difference. When I got my first real steam-wand machine (Silvia) I was doing great with the texture. Then it all went downhill and I just couldn't get it right. I was concerned my brand new machine was already clogging up or something, but realized it was a different brand. When I went back to my usual brand it was fine again. Both were full-cream milk (Devondale, which foams lovely, versus Dutch Lady, which tastes nice but just does not foam properly)
Thanks for the tips. Just received my Silvia today and tomorrow I should receive milk jugs and other accessories. Already got a pretty decent espresso shot out of it but still need to fine tune it a bit, thanks for the soap tip especially, I'll make sure to use that to practice with. Just a friendly tip to anyone reading this and thinking about ordering a Silvia too. Buy a good 58mm tamper at the same time. The one that comes prepackaged with Silvia is total crap. Other than that, it's a stellar machine.
Used this video in my quest for the perfect latte art (anything passing for a shape really, I'm a total beginner) & found your instructions useful and clear. Thank you
Thanks for the super informative (and cozy?? haha) video! I’m watching some last minute latte art videos before my first throwdown. It was really nice of you to include explanations of why to do certain steps! Made it a lot easier to understand 😊 Thanks again!
Just got my DeLonghi Dedica Deluxe and have been trying to get nice milk for this. The wand has 2 settings hot milk and foam. Have been using the foam setting and when I pour the milk into the coffee the fist part just goes down into the coffee and what’s left just sits on top. 😩. Will be trying more with the other setting as haven’t been able to find the sweet spot yet but at least the lattes taste good! Haha. Good vid
Great video! I have been practicing and still haven’t been able to make a Rosetta with milk alternatives such as oat milk, almond and coconut milk. Do you have any suggestions to follow for the air injections? Timing or Temperature that works best?
s. corriene I’ve found that with alternative mills you have to pay a lot more attention to the aeration and then grooming before you pour (knocking it on the counter and swirling ) if you do it right it will have perfect micro foam! Also coconut milk for me is the hardest!
Hi, can you make a video on steaming milk with the Bellman and compare the differences of the milk between steaming with a machine and steaming with the Bellman? Thanks
Thank you for this valuable information, especially the amount of milk that I have not heard much about or that has given this attention. I own Breville Barista Express in my house There is a slight evaporation in this particular device, so it takes time to get a result. And then fall into the problem of excessive fumigation Milk becomes no foam at all except hot milk What do you recommend? Is the method of water and soap effective to train on the right fumigation? thank you very much
many thanks.just subscribed to your channel. two questions please: 1. is espresso quality and creamy presence an essential part to having milk eventually "floats" and being seen? asking about presence not taste though. 2. is there any saturation ratio point between milk and espresso where you decide it is time now to lower your jug and start pouring milk from lower distance and hence have milk show up with its beautiful shape? or it can be up to each one decision how much milk is enough and now we start shaping milk over the espresso? i hope my intentions is clearly understoodable here. thanks
Loved it! I still however wonder if it's me at fault or I'm being held back by the frothing wand in my espresso maker (Saeco Poemia, panarello taken off). I VERY rarely get creamy milk like in this video, and will most certainly attempt to add the techs. mentioned here.
Good video. I purchased a breville Oracle what temps and froth if your familiar with the machine do you recommend steaming milk for cappuccino and lattes
Is all of the milk supposed to be foamy, or is it milk on the bottom and foam on top? I assume the latter because everything I've watched shows them pouring it in but nothing sticks to the top, then suddenly the design comes out by the foam sitting on the top. Do you need to pay attention when you pour for when the milk stops and the foam begins to come out?
Question: thanks for the video, I work in a commercial kitche. And our espresso machine has an automatic shut off on one side with thermometer for latte milk. Can I aerate the milk then let the auto take over or should I be monitoring the whole time? Also do you have any tips for cappuccino foam for best quality (small bubbles) and quantity?
If suspect you want to monitor the whole time but every auto steam is going to respond a little differently. If you can adjust the aeration one the auto wand (to less foam) you may be able to just let it do it’s thing.
Thank you great Sir for this video. Can't wait to try. Just wondering about none dairy milk. Is there much if anything different about steaming. Which it the best?
I find just paying a bit closer attention to those noises and the swirl of the milk. Alt milks for sure aren’t as easy to work with but overall not to bad. Oat and almond are the easiest to steam 👍
many thanks for the great effort, but a silly question pls, can't I just put the milk in microwave and make it hot instead if I don't have the steamer machine?
@@poohhny well if u make it hit then make a foam by using a mixer u still get the foam... what if we DONT have such things like a steamer OR even a coffee express? No way for latte art for us?
Lovely! At 3:40 in the video, the milk appears to roll over itself, causing bigger bubbles that continue to swirl on top of the milk until the steaming. Do you have any tips on avoiding this? Is it something else entirely? Especially with powerful steamers, and smaller drinks, I find this happens somewhat often.
alextraction if you can adjust the strength of the steam wand. It’s not bad ... you just don’t want it to get away on you. A few taps on the counter and some big swirls should pop those bubbles.
Hi, I'm Sean and I have a question I hope you can help me answer. I'm a beginner barista, I'm practicing steaming milk now. (thanks bunches for this tutorial, it's really awesome!). At times when I pour latte art, the milk bob can form firmly and beautifully in the centre so I can cut through to form a pattern, but at other times, when I pour the milk bob, the bob seperates and spreads out all over the crema - it cannot stay firm in place. I'm not sure why this happens, or what I'm doing wrong. Could it be that I didn't steam the milk well? Too little foam? Could you help me with this dilemma of mine? Thank you so much!!
Hey Sean! Sounds like your milk consistency is a bit different every time. Sometimes your getting really great latte art foam, then others it's too thin. Make sure you hear that nice hissing at the beginning of every steam. It's vital in the first few seconds. Practice makes perfect... but to me it sounds like your not getting enough incorporation of the steam into the milk sometimes. You'll get it after a few 100 lattes ;)
Thank you so much, Andrew! I will try to fix it when I'm on shift tonight. So the issue is that my steamed milk is too thin, right? But aren't lattes supposed to have a much thinner layer of foam? How do I know how much is enough? Hehe yeap! I might need to practice several hundred cups before I get the hang of it!
Andrew McWilliam it’s a nifty little device! I’ll turn on my notifications for your channel so I catch your review. My channel has nothing to do with coffee by the way - it’s just fueled by it! Great video.
After the milks hit room temperature your shouldn’t here the tssst anymore . Only once in the beginning and it should be a 1-5 sec tssttt then no longer .
Great Video!! I have a Delonghi esam2600 which has a steam wand but they call it a milk frother - it’s a sleeve that goes over the black plastic steam wand... it froths the milk up but when I try to pour my latte art it sort of all comes out at the end as a big blob of foam! Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
You will have a better time removing that black tip/sleeve by unscrewing it and then just following the directions in this vid. Youre getting too much air into the surface of the milk which is caused by the black tip
The crema is sort of what makes the latte art possible because its density holds the shape of the design you pour for latte art. With no surface tension on the coffee, the milk will spread out across the path of least resistance, which is everywhere. So, no, latte art isn't really doable with filter coffee.
I was able to do it with a Mr coffee machine. One time and that was it. I'd like to get a better machine but I don't know if I'm not doing it right.. Help somebody pls

Please come back and comment if it works for you
Good tutorial for beginners ..
Greats job
The breakdown of it all is actually extremely helpful, especially for me as a barista who is just starting out. Thank you so much!!
The best teacher in steaming milk, noone can explain this better !
Mmm that is def glossy and Beautiful milk , yas i like the "paint" comparrison😁🍵☕

I've been struggling but I'll keep at it and try your tips some more....

ThankYou Andrew, i think il be pickn "leftside" my nxt day work
Super great video!!! Nice to find a way to practice without actually using milk. Will definitely try this one!
thanks, that was great one Andrew. One of the best instructional videos I've seen, if not the best, with seldom shared tips.
Thanks for the super informative (and cozy?? haha) video! I’m watching some last minute latte art videos before my first throwdown. It was really nice of you to include explanations of why to do certain steps! Made it a lot easier to understand 😊 Thanks again!
haha ikr for people like me and you who never have a clue of this before is awesome when we have step by step info
thanks Andrew
Awesome video! Thanks for making it.

Yeah sounds like that setting is creating to much foam. Try the other setting and see if you can lead the way a bit more on the milk.
Hello from Bucharest, România! Thanks for this video, will try it as soon as I get to the shop.
Never heard the dish detergent trick! Super interesting, might give that a spin
Can you recommend a reasonably priced home espresso machine? And do you recommend a manual one over an automatic?
We just got Mr.Coffee a few weeks ago, and for the price - it’s amazing!
Really well done with this presentation!
Very well explained. Thank you
The best one I have watched so far. Helped heaps. Thank you.
Excellent! Can’t wait to try it.
Your tips are the best, thank you very much
I really enjoyed this my friend,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍🇬🇧
Super great tips! Receiving one of those pitchers soon, so i'm gonna try it out!
Thanks very much dude - gonna use these tips tomorrow morning!
really good tips will try them out
Thank you ,Bro

Hi Andrew, what kind of milk do you recommend? skim/1%/2%/whole/etc.
Hi, can you make a video on steaming milk with the Bellman and compare the differences of the milk between steaming with a machine and steaming with the Bellman? Thanks
Video starts with a guy in a beard. I know this gon be goood
For really i have liked your video coz its so helpful more so to us beginners
My Ninja coffee bar dont have the steamer but it I warm my milk up then use the frother that's attached to the machine and it works so good
Thank you for this valuable information, especially the amount of milk that I have not heard much about or that has given this attention. I own Breville Barista Express in my house

i hope my intentions is clearly understoodable here.
thanks
cool vid Andy what kind of milk do you think works best to get glossy foam?
sneak dissin full fat is best!
Loved it! I still however wonder if it's me at fault or I'm being held back by the frothing wand in my espresso maker (Saeco Poemia, panarello taken off). I VERY rarely get creamy milk like in this video, and will most certainly attempt to add the techs. mentioned here.
Hey Andrew! Very helpful video. Where did you get your cups as seen at 5:19? Thanks!
Gonna try this method. ive done it before, but after a week i forgot how to do it XD
nice tips!!! thank you!!!
thanks a lot hope I get it right this time
Did you?
Good video. I purchased a breville Oracle what temps and froth if your familiar with the machine do you recommend steaming milk for cappuccino and lattes
Enjoyed your video, have a good day
what Is the fancy gold thing you used to pretamp your espresso grounds
Great tips. Esp the practice with water.

@@amcwilliam yes tried soya today, it got very hot quickly, then too frothy, I'll try others later . Dairy milk worked perfectly! Thanks
Does anybody know if there is a chance to get a proper steamed milk for latte art with a one hole wand?
Which milk should be used?
Thanks for the vid man. Would it be possible to show over frothed or under frothed milk ? Its tricky when you dont have a reference.
Underfrothed will look like regular milk, over-frothed will have lots of bubbles and look like a blob of melted marshmellow
many thanks for the great effort, but a silly question pls, can't I just put the milk in microwave and make it hot instead if I don't have the steamer machine?
Tareq Kelany no because the steamer machine is what makes the foam
@@poohhny well if u make it hit then make a foam by using a mixer u still get the foam... what if we DONT have such things like a steamer OR even a coffee express? No way for latte art for us?
should i lower the pitcher when the wand gets covered before the milk gets warmed? about how long to go below the wand line at the end?
Hi. can u make an art without the crema?
nice mate!
Practice with dish soap 👍👍👍👍
Great video!
Your milk is gorgeous!

Can the keurig rivo create a similar texture as a steamer? I'm having trouble creating anything with it and I don't know if it's me or the machine..
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
does this work with nondairy milk?
Thank you.
Io
Thumbs up, subbed & notifications on 🙏🏻🌸🎀
Thank you for the Info👍
How about the technic of froth milk?
What is that grinder called to ground coffee surface flat
Great video, thanks for the info!

What is the gold device you used to flatten out the coffee and where is it from? I love it!
That is the OCD coffee distribution tool from ona Coffee. Going to do a review on that guy one day too :)
Andrew McWilliam it’s a nifty little device! I’ll turn on my notifications for your channel so I catch your review. My channel has nothing to do with coffee by the way - it’s just fueled by it! Great video.
What type of milk are you using?
Gr8 video!
I always hv difficulties in pourx the milk in the the coffee fr designes
Even me i don't know why wen i reach to make designs my hands remain in one place
After the milks hit room temperature your shouldn’t here the tssst anymore . Only once in the beginning and it should be a 1-5 sec tssttt then no longer .

How much espresso do you use for latte
How important is the pitcher ?
Hi Andrew!
Please do I need to turn d steamer to d highest steaming level to get d milk well steamed?
Afolz Capon Jizzle yes for sure! Sometimes nice to start on lower setting (less steam) but eventually work up to full steam.
Thank you :)
Very good video!...GOD bless in JESUS name!
i dont have a steamer. any alternative?
How close to this can I get with a French Press?
Deda do Black almost the same but no style w frenchpress lol
Innergaming lol! Thanks
Been trying to do art for couple weeks now and milk doesn’t seems to rise above the coffee for art. It just goes below t coffee. Suggestions ?
You'll need more foam in your milk. Steam a little higher at the start as Andrew explained in the video
Nice
My milk always end up real foamy. What I do wrong. Also, can art be done on a French press or is it only on Expresso coffee because of crema?
The crema is sort of what makes the latte art possible because its density holds the shape of the design you pour for latte art. With no surface tension on the coffee, the milk will spread out across the path of least resistance, which is everywhere. So, no, latte art isn't really doable with filter coffee.
I never get that force in steam with a panerello wand on my delonghi ecp35.31that it swirls thw milk ☹️
I was able to do it with a Mr coffee machine. One time and that was it. I'd like to get a better machine but I don't know if I'm not doing it right.. Help somebody pls
Damn I don't have the machine, I have that little foamer thingy... idk what its called
But this was helpful
