    When pouring art into notNeutral Lino single cappuccino cups (5 oz), I often blow out (flatten) the bottom of my art. I've always assumed it was because the cup isn't a perfect circle-because it doesn't happen with my other cups. I now realize that although the cup shape is part of the issue, starting higher may help a lot. Great video.

      Have you watched my long form video? That's literally all I do. I don't think overcomplicating it is super helpful.
      Getting the position right and practicing control of the stretching is all it is! You got this! Takes baristas anywhere from a week to a couple of months on bar to nail sometimes.

      @tylerhilligoss 2 года назад +2

      @@LanceHedrick I have and it was incredibly helpful! I find myself getting bubbles that are hard to tap out but I do occasionally get some good steams. A couple things that have helped me have been looking at how the milk sticks to the side wall during swirls as well as the sound changes (the latter you mentioned but didn't go into the details).
      Perhaps a video similar to this where you talk about mistakes you see people make as they learn how to steam or good ways to identify what you need to change when you see certain indications of poorly steamed milk.
      Either way, keep up the great content it has been absolutely indispensable!

    It is great if you have a good coffee machine but . . . most people watching on here want to try it at home. Yes, I know you will frown uppon people using a french press etc. but I ( and thousands of others ) just want to present latte art at home. Without a machine. It doesn't have to be top quality like yours but just any tips from you Lance would be most helpful.
    If someone has already got access to a coffee house machine, then they are already halfway there and probably got access to tuition in Latte art anyway at their work.

    This probably isn't worth a youtube video, but I'd love to see latte art tips for non latte mugs - like a travel mug, or a regular dinner coffee mug. It seems possible from videos and being at certain places that do it (hello coffee trucks with coffee cup latte art), but all tip videos are specifically built around a huge super wide half and shallow, bowl like shaped latte cup.

    your instructions are so detail compared to a lot of coffee videos I have watched the past 5 years.. you actually point out the do's and don't's and take time to pour the incorrect ways as you understand that us who have no training but to rely on watching youtube do commit such errors. very thankful i found your videos last year and still I can't pour the ripple effects as smooth as yours.. could be my milk is too thick as I always made 2 cups of latte at one go :P. is it harder to pour latte art on a double walled glasses than the cup that you use in your videos?

    • @LanceHedrick

    Great video! Your videos often have a way of dialing in (pun intended) on the the things that others often leave out.

    • @LanceHedrick

    Great video! I will follow your advises! One thing i am not able to do well is the pouring the milk at the beginning to create the beautiful "canvas" for latte art. My canvas comes always in shades of brown/whites.. Do you have a video on how to fix that? What am I doing wrong?
