a lot of people don't realize how much work goes into a cup of coffee until they have to or try to make one themselfs. I'm practice this when i get to work.
@@TheGunmanChannel latte art and making quality coffee takes longer than "a few minutes" to figure out. Now most people have their idea of what is good coffee so it's partially a relative term. But when you are talking professional barista quality coffee that is a skill take takes time to master and understand. Just like a professional wine or beer maker. It's not something that just happens overnight although the process can be learned rather quickly.
I’ve been practicing at my workplace for a while! I just only got the technique and even then I still can’t make good looking designs (I’m getting better though) The milk has to be a very specific level of foamy and everything has to be a specific type of way for it to work. It’s super tricky but I find it super fun.
I'm a barista of mid-level ability and these videos have gone a long way to strengthening my fundamentals while very clearly explaining some of the more advanced techniques. These are things that surprisingly few coffee houses are able to train employees on, and it falls on the barista to train themselves on latte art and sometimes even basic foaming. I would be a much less skilled barista without these fantastic tutorials.
What? This video on how to make a heart had 20 seconds max of relevant info. That relevant info was terrible. Pour in middle, shake a little then pull out to “suck” and pull through. Brilliant…….
This is a minor point but as I've struggled to do this for some time now and tonight had a breakthrough in understanding I thought I should mention this: the milk isn't "rising to the top." What happens is as you lower pitcher of milk close to coffee surface the milk foam stays on the top as gravity of a higher fall isn't sending it down. Important distinction. In a way you are "placing" the foam on the top gently to make the design.
COFFEE ARTIST It's the same for me. I don't "have" to go to work in the morning... I am actually looking forward to making coffees for people and brightening their day! It's a great profession!
+Kieran Dalton I did the same thing when I wanted my first coffee job. I've been working at a coffee shop for a year now and I'm just starting to understand how latte art works.
Shelbi Snell The struggle is real, I remember having to throw away some cups because according to my manager I couldn't serve the penis shaped failed latte art hearts.
Thank you Mike for sharing your experience. I have been watching other videos for months and trying to make a simple coffee art. You are the only person who actually talked about velocity and how to do it. It worked. I got it. You are the master
I hate my job as a barista, but seriously gonna try this tomorrow at work! I applaud those who have made being a barista their career. Idk how you do it! Definitely the hardest and most demanding job I have ever had! Most days I want to throw coffee at the customers' faces. At least there will be a heart in their lattes now. So if I ever do it, it'll be with love! 😂
Thank you! I have been trying to control the amount of foam to make latte art, and thanks to you I found out my mistake :) Cheers man! You re the best.
Thank you howcast so much. My dad owns a bakery and my big brother thought that he could make better cappuccino art then me. The I found this video and the next day my was going t judge who made the heart better and I won. THANK YOU HOWCAST!
i loved he just put the coffee into the portafilter from the grinder and didnt mess about for about 5 mins like most of the other latte art barista videos.
i have a huge passion for being a barista, i absolutely love coffee and it's history, i love messing with different designs with the foam on the coffee, i hope to pursue a career that has to do with baristaing and coffee making 💕
I'm a barista at Starbucks and I feel like it's my milk steaming that's wrong. After watching this I realize it's also how I pour. Thanks for this, I'll keep practicing
I'm doing cert 2 in hospitality and we're learning to make café style coffees and this is super helpful. Also I just love seeing cute design on things so double thanks.
Your video is still being watched. Definitely about to watch some of your other videos. I think my foam is not dense enough.. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for sharing.
I've been learning at work for a week (going from knowing zero about barista) and now I can actually make the foam come out right so I am definitely going to try this pouring thing next time!
Man I've been working as a barista for 4 months and I didn't even think about this velocity stuff. No one showed me how to make these cool designs, but now I will start practicing.
THEE best comment ive ever read on RUclips, im a barista myself and I totally get what your saying. We have regulars come in and they all love me and my colleges for how we talk to them make there coffees the way they prefer and they always leave our counter with a smile and then when they have drunk up they leave saying bye and we see them again always. I love being a barista im proud of my team and what I do and I just wanna learn more and more like you said. Peace to you sir you :) :D
This is the best tutorial, the steps and the way you take us through the process is spot on. Practice is the key here. I have so much practice to do...Thanks Mike! Hope I can pop into your cafe and say hi sometime. :)
I make hundreds of cups a week and when I ask daily regulars if they have ever made a latte, they often scoff at the idea but most of them have never even thought about doing it themselves. Making coffee is fun but it's only a small part of what I do. Baristas can make people's days with conversation & connection. We have a lot of people return because they enjoy the barista's personalities and attitudes. Latte art is another way to perfect your craft, and you can never know too much!
This is great and I do this when I make cappuccinos and flat whites etc but where I am (the north of England) a latte is served in a tall glass with a handle, and it's milk poured in first with about a cm/2 cm of microfoam on top then you pour in the shot so it floats, but is this a latte in America? Someone please explain, it's just this looks like a flat white to me
Eleanor Black A latte is typically a shot with steamed milk poured on top, a cappucino is the same, just with more foam. Some places seem to pour it into a tall glass, it's just a different way of doing the same thing. A flat white is similar but the milk is supposed to be less foamy and the coffee has less milk in it.
I work at Starbucks and what is shown in this video is a flat white (at least in Starbucks terms). What you described with the shots being poured last is a macchiato (or again, at least that's what it is to us).
Update! As a change in steaming routines, Starbucks has switched to a 1-3 second aeration, into auto-steam, as opposed to the old method of 3-5 seconds. And yes, like a flat white lol
Latte and cappuccino are different in every country.We all have a different version of these coffee ^.^ if you go in italy a latte is completly different from our triditionnal latte !
Thanks so much for this. I will try it on my next working day. The place im working at now does not require me to perform such art, but im kind of having hard feeling if i cannot do it right. And i keep having problem with making it, now i know it's because i did not take the jug up. Thanks a lot
+Fieeza Maskom That is what pros do they make things looks easy. You may have tried over and over but he's probably done it 100x more still. Its all about practice and consistency.
Thanks so much for the video. Can you please explain if the type of foam you matters on doing latte art? Mine looks like wet paint so it looks correct based on other tutorials, but I'm thinking I'm not pouring properly at the correct distances after watching your video.
Do you get much of a head of froth at the top? I have to make these into glass mugs and people get extremely irritable if there's more than about 1cm of froth on top. Am pretty new to Barista work so sorry if this sounds ignorant :/
Wish me luck, I work at a restaurant and I do the drinks, lattes, capuchinos, etc, and I am totally changing my mentality about this, cause I didnt like to do make coffees, all of my coworkers run from the coffee machine, but guess what, my mother inspired me to LEARN and PRACTICE about the art of making coffee, Thank God I have the opportunity to learn and practice to make art on the coffee, I want to keep learning that's why I am here, IF U DONT LIKE SOMETHING, CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. You will see great blessings. wish me luck
Seemed to pull a bit slow, maybe around 25 seconds but that isn't bad. 22 seconds would be a perfect shot, imo he probably pressed too hard and didnt tap. However, the camera doesnt really provide a close up.
I'm a barista in a "Baresso" -chain in Denmark, and this was very useful especially because he was using the exact same coffee-making-instruments as we have in the shop. hoping i am going to learn this somehow. its harder than it looks.
Step 1 : espresso
Step 2 : Milk
Step 3 : Magic
Step 4 : make heart appear

How does one perfectly steam milk in 9 SECONDS???
easy
1: get milk
2. piss in it
GJ warm milk
4 ounce of milk can be steamed with a 10 liter boiler and a 4 hole steam wand in 9 seconds
try steaming milk with Synesso. you'll finish in 5 sec.
Marcell Heim if it is a good coffee machine and the milk is not that cold then it is normal 🤷🏼♂️
Damn, that's what I was thinking too, mate.
