  • In this video, I'm showing you how to pour the Latte Art Basics: Heart, Rosetta and Tulip.
    My advice for every Latte Art beginner is to start pouring these basic patterns first and only proceed to more advanced ones, after you really learned how to pour and control the basics.
    Some other basic benchmarks you need when pouring Latte Art:
    finely textured milk
    have the pattern nicely centered in the Cup
    nice and crisp White without any beige

    It's 4am and I have work in a few hours but that's ok. I'm drinking my 6th latte and I finally got the heart on the 8th try. I guess I'm taking these two with me to work.

    This is really great. So many videos go through the basics over and over but just touch on the art. This is perfect and the slow motion is an extra bonus. Thank you!

      The 'Pause' totally works... but to get nice shapes with smooth edges you may need the pitcher with the funnel-mouth like Dritan is using in the video (my .02 cents)

      Proper foaming/steaming and quality of coffee.. the 'crema' from the (good quality and freshly grind) coffee helps the milk foam (not the milk) float..

    • @minigirl
      @minigirl 6 лет назад +6

      Milk texture must reach almost near the boiling point but be careful to not get visible bubbles. You need the crema from the coffee as well. And the hardest part is when you pour the milk in the cup, you need great practice and a stabilize and balanced hand to create the art!

    • @thismessismine
      @thismessismine 7 лет назад +6

      You definitely don't need formal education to do this, especially not college! Though some barista training programs do exist, they are usually attended by people who have already worked as a barista and enjoy the job and would like to improve their skills. Good latte art usually just comes from experience working as a barista. When you practice with every latte and cappuccino ordered at a shop, you can start making latte art in days to weeks and get good at it in weeks to years. Good luck!

    • @digitalvelocityandseo389
      @digitalvelocityandseo389 5 лет назад +5

      you have to introduce the right amount of steam into the milk in the beginning and then sink the head of the steam wand into the milk and make it go silent until you reach your temp keeping the pitcher still and the steam wand in the same position... Then tap the bottom of the pitcher onto the countertop to pop any surface bubbles there may be (hopefully there aren't many or any :) and also to sink the top layer of foam throughout the rest of the milk so that it's that same consistency, swirl the milk around in the pitcher a few times to get it to that even velvet texture ( you'll see it turn sheen and glossy and voila! That's the best way I know how to describe it :)

    Cool slow motion! One thing I wonder. Cappuccino shuld be 1/3 coffee and 2/3 milk. But in latte art video's (like yours) I see much less coffee used. I use 60 ml and I have not much room for mixing the milk be cause the cus is allready 1/3 full! I have little time left to draw. Can you explain?
