Marc is really out here responding to every comment. What superb dedication, and thanks for the video.
Hey goldy, you’re welcome and thank you for the comment. Helping people out makes me happy! Pay it forward!
Marc
Love it
Oh please respond to mine! lol
There you go!
Marc
Thank
The animation made me realize I was sinking my wand too deep into the milk. I learned a lot. Your video is by far the best I've seen of a half dozen from various channels. Only subbed to yours. ☕
Hey BHS, Happy to help and thanks for subscribing! If you have not found it on our channel yet check out this more recent video of ours on milk frothing and latte art for beginners. Many have called it the best video ever made on the subject: ruclips.net/video/4PSCsv7kcKA/видео.html
Marc
Came to the comments to say exactly the same thing. Thanks for the awesome instruction.
riteee bro my milk never seemed perfect and it’s cuz the wand was too deep!
Your diction, clarity, and tone make me think you have a background in radio, Marc. Great video. Very practical.
Hey Andrew, thanks for the kind comment. Years ago I was house VO talent for local television group.
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage I can believe that. Speaking voice top notch
I agree! Perfect voice and I’m new to doing espresso and trying to learn with my Breville and this was very helpful! Thanks Marc!
Definitely got a face for radio...lol I couldn't resist...I know I'm an asshole

👍😄🫠☹️🤭☹️🥺😥
I seriously don't want to learn how to make latte art. I just want to be able to make a decent latte without having to ask a colleague to froth the milk for me.
Hi Me, Keep practicing!
Marc
Same :/
Same here 🥺
That’s what I do I ask my colleagues at work to froth my milk ... they then seem to go file sexual harrasment cases against me ?
@@iamasmurf1122 Are you working in a place with a coffee machine? If you're not, people might misunderstand you ;)
Being a non coffee drinker who is about to join his family in owning a Coffee/Tea shop/Bookstore. This helped immensely. Bless.
Hi W, You are welocme - and thank you for the comment!
Marc
God damn this is some solid presentation. That voice is clear as day. People should be hiring you do to all sorts of tutorials...
Hi tak, Thanks for the comment!
Marc
Whole Latte Love thanks for the great video!

well i wouldn't ask God to damn him! or anybody for that matter

Finally a video that explains the steaming difference for latte vs cappucchino. Thanks wholattelove! You truly put a lot of knowledge and effort behind your business!
HI MB, You're welcome and thank you for taking the time to comment!
Marc
Those practice techniques with the dish soap and food colouring are exactly what I need at this stage. Thanks, Marc!
Hi Dave, You are welcome and thank you for taking a moment to leave a comment - it's appreciated!
Marc
Hey Dave, just stumbled here and have the same reply as you, did you try out the technique and did it help?
For anyone having trouble frothing milk Marc is really on point with his explanation, and I cannot emphasize enough the importance of getting the milk spinning, cos if the milk is spinning, you’re probably winning. 👍🏻
Hi AR, I like that "Spinning is winning"! Thanks!!!
Marc
Is that Sid Vicious mixed with Albert Einstein? Great Avatar!
I’m a new barista and this was by far the most informative and helpful video I’ve watched so far, thanks Mark!
Hi Joseph, You are welcome and thanks for the kind comment. If this video helped you then you have to watch this one which goes a little deeper into specific frothing techniques for beginners right through to pouring latte art. Many have said it's the best video on the subject: ruclips.net/video/4PSCsv7kcKA/видео.html
Marc
How long does it take for you to expert in frothing the milk?
The tip for cheap practice is priceless!!
Hi Um, Thanks for taking a moment to leave a comment!
Marc
So informative, thank you for your clear and concise instruction and explanations. Using the soap and food coloring to practice art and pouring techniques is pure genius.
Great explanation (and love the animation). Great conversational tone while staying focussed/pointed and not leaving me feeling like I wasted my time or lost interest.
Hi Hannah, Thanks for the comment!
This is so helpful! I really appreciated the clear tutorial and the milk type rankings (especially as someone who can't have dairy!) Can't wait to start making more lattes and cappuccinos at home!
Glad it was helpful and thanks for your comment!
Marc
Thanks. You were brief and precise
Thanks Marc, really learn a lot
You have persuaded me to invest in quality tools. Now, I'll be practising latte art with your tips. Thanks, Marc!
You’re welcome. Good tools are worth the investment!
Marc
This is the clearest explanation on RUclips. Whole latte love once again, simply the best
Wow, thank you!
I’m on my second week of working as a barista and this is so helpful! i’m going to try to follow this tutorial during my shift tomorrow!
Glad it was helpful!
Marc
Omg this was so helpful ! I keep the silver pourers on top of the espresso machine which makes em warm, now I know they have to be cold. Such a patient Video 🙏🏼!!!
Hi Chris, Thanks for the comment! Better to keep your frothing pitchers as cool as possible.
Marc
Thank you, Sir. You have a delivery that is easy to learn from and the production quality of your video is great too.
Hi Ian, You are welcome and thank your for the kind comment!
Marc
P
Have to say these videos are extremely helpful. For those new to espresso it’s always good to go back and re learn the basics. Find myself getting complacent and going backwards.
Glad it was helpful!
That practice tip is absolutely brilliant, will definitely be doing that!
This is the best frothing technique video ever. And it had bonus tips. Love the work!
Awesome video! Haven't seen a better explanation anywhere else about wand positioning relative to a latte vs cappuccino. Thank you Marc!!
Hi a, You are very welcome! Thanks for taking a moment to leave a comment.
Marc
Due to health reasons I have to use milk alternatives now and I love using almond milk for my coffee (have tried soy, oat and rice as well) but never even thought of macadamia milk! Thank you for the idea.
I absolutely love you! Thank you!
Thanks, very helpful
Thank you so much!!!! My mom bought me an espresso maker and now I’m obsessed with making a latte the best I can.
Hi Janice, You are welcome. Nice of mom to pick you up a machine! Keep practicing and be sure to check out our latte art videos like this one: How To: Beginner's Guide to Froth Milk and Pour a Latte Art Heart ruclips.net/video/4PSCsv7kcKA/видео.html
Marc
Thanks for the help. I've seen numerous videos and have had a difficult time getting any results. Your video was helpful, and I was able to get a nice, albeit amateur, latte art the next pour I had.
Hi f, Happy to help and thank you for taking a moment to leave a comment!
Marc
By far, it's the best video explanation I've watched, there are a couple of things I was doing wrong, till today. Very clear and straight to the point! Thank you very very much)
The ultimate guide. Huge thanks!!
Hey d, you're welcome and thanks for the comment!
this is a lifesaver! i started training as a barista yesterday and i really struggled with getting the right amount of foam in the lattes i made, so the clear explanation in this really helped!
Great to hear! Here's another great video which goes into much more detail and takes you through to pouring latte art: ruclips.net/video/4PSCsv7kcKA/видео.html
Marc
Another absolutely brilliant video: well-organized, succinct, and entertaining while maintaining focus. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Marc
Ok this made me inspired!
Thank you for the clear and understandable presentation!
You're very welcome!
I just bought an espresso machine and really appreciate these tips on how to steam the milk properly. The machine came with instructions that were more than a bit lacking in this department so you were a great help!
Glad it was helpful!
I recently got an espresso machine which made me get into making coffee a bit more seriously and oh my god this video was so helpful, thank you so much Marc.
Hi Z, You are welcome - happy to help and thank you for the comment!
M
You are a great instructor, thank you.
You are welcome!
Thank you for the excellent presentation!
Love this thanx I just got my Mr. Coffe machine and need to practice my latte making skills
Hi LH, Thanks for the comment and good luck!
Marc
Thanks for the training tip
Hi JJ, You are welcome and thank you for the comment!
Marc
Is the best
Tanks for these
Finally a really complete and clear video on the subject! Thanks!
Hi JA, you are welcome and thank you a whole latte for taking a moment to leave your comment! Marc
Hi Marc, great video.
It is simply fantastic, with which dedication, sophistication and quality of video-preparation (animations etc.) you pick up on all topics related to espresso.
I really appreciate your uploads! Many greetings from Germany ;=)
Hi Bob, Thanks for the comment - appreciated!!!
Marc
I have a Gaggia classic and this totally improved my whole milk froth! I was letting the milk get too warm before taking the wand out. Now I do it super fast and it’s much frothier!
Fantastic!
I love you. Thank you! This was excellent and just exactly what I needed!
You're so welcome!
Its nice listening to someone speaking so passionately and explanting so clearly step by step.
Glad you liked it!
Wow, best video ever!! Thanks a lot
Hi Mariano, Thanks a whole latte for the comment!
Marc
I just got into milk frothing/steaming/foaming with an entry-level espresso machine (Calaphon's Compact Espresso Machine) - this is by far the best primer on RUclips. The full A to Z on the different varieties of milk + coffee drinks (and I appreciate the non-dairy coverage!). Wish I had found this before I spent 2 weeks perfecting my foaming technique with almond milk for cappuccinos. Still working on my latte art with a little help from you.
Hey eVCL, Thanks for the kind comment! For a next step here's a more recent video with More precise frothing tips right thru to pouring latte art: ruclips.net/video/4PSCsv7kcKA/видео.html
Excellent video. Thanks so much.
THANK YOU !!
I needed this video and everything was so detailed!! Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate the milk content!! Im looking up macadamia milk now after i leave this. We are sadly switching from cow to alternative milks. cant wait till my espresso machine comes in!! Thanks again!! ☕💕
Hi AOCAJ, You are welcome for the video. If going to non-dairy milk, we have an excellent video which tests a variety for frothing quality and flavor. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/jO9l7oENq1Q/видео.html
Marc
Best video I’ve watched so far on the subject - plus you have an excellent voice (if you haven’t been doing voiceover work or radio you should strongly consider it lol) thanks!
Hi Nick, Thanks for the kind comment! The voice has had some experience. I did TV VO work for many years before getting into coffee!
Marc
Excellent. Exactly the sort of video I was looking for on getting familiar with my steam frother. Perfect amount of detail to help understand what's happening and why to do things different ways.
Glad you liked it!
This video is AMAZING!! Thank you!
You're so welcome and thanks a whole latte for the comment!
This is a very good video for beginners. The plus point you manage to explained the difference of steam power between entry level machines, single boiler machines compared to advanced machine. The tips to practice not using milk also a super plus point and last but not least, I like the comparison charts you did for all ranges of milk from dairy to non dairy. You may have to review coconut milk too in the future. Keep it up guys. Thanks.
Hi lylia, Thanks for the kind comment. I tried straight coconut milk years ago and did not have good results.
Marc
Mark, did you guys test Oat milk? I have been using Oatley, their oat milk froths really well and makes great latte arts. IMO, it's a game changer and could possibly be the best non-dairy milk for home baristas and coffee shops.
It doesn’t work with homemade (realer) oat milk though, it turns sooo goopy when heated in steamer 😔😂
this is very fun and informative! we just got an espresso machine and so excited to up my game on the frothing art. I'm so glad I found this channel and found yo. Thank you so much for this 5 star superb video!
Never knew there was a correct way to froth but I am so glad I looked it up! Game changer thanks so much man!
Happy to help!
Seriously, this is exactly how videos should be. Sure you took a bit to do the other vid ad-blurb but once it got going it was simple, clear, informative, concise. Perfect.
If only other YT creators knew how to be concise!
Hey VB, Thanks for the comment. I do try and cut to the chase as much as possible!
Marc
I do enjoy your videos.
You told me about coffee a lot.
Thank you
Hi LC, You are welcome and thank your for taking a moment to leave a comment!
excellent, I love the tips on cheap praticing techniques!
Great to hear!
For me, get the air in early helps a lot! For other videos I saw, they didn't mention this. Thanks a lot!!
this was perfect for the beginner.
Hi NA, Thanks for ataking a moment to leave a comment!
Marc
Great vid. I was wondering if you can show milk frothing technique with a wand milk frother.
Hi b, Thanks for the comment. I'm guessing you mean with an autofrothing wand? If so here's a video covering testing and use: ruclips.net/video/gXr7ohKkcBE/видео.html
Marc
This might be the most on point RUclips video I have ever seen
Hey Felix, thanks for the comment - it’s appreciated!
Marc
7:07 I was looking all over for this piece of Information!!! THANK YOU!!! 🙌
Hi Mark,could you discuss the differences in steaming technique with one-hole, two-hole etc steam wands? I have an Astoria with a five-hole tip and it seems to work best in a vertical rather than slanted angle. Thanks, Ken
Hi Ken, Thanks for the question. I find technique can differ based on number of holes in the tip. Multi-hole tips with the steam power to back them up can make the roll happen without the angle. As with all things espresso many variables involved so pitcher type, milk amount and desired froth figure in. Guessing your Astoria has power to spare!
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage - yes it's an old CMA Dora with a 9 litre HX boiler, so plenty steam. Thanks for the reply. Regards, Ken
@@Wholelattelovepage I have an Astoria machine with a five hole steam wand. Despite having five holes only the center hole points straight down while the others point out at angles. It's technically impossible to not steam at an angle.
I wish if I had found this sooner.

Originally I just wanted to know how to make a flat white for work but it’s 3:25 am and I can’t stop watching these videos...
Hi Kemmi, Sorry to keep you up!
Marc
Whole Latte Love Oh no, I didn’t mean it was holding me up, I enjoyed watching these ahaha
Start from 2.20 for lesson
That's amazing. You are so smart!
Wow, thank you
Your video was so useful; THANK YOU!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful!
Marc
Sir i have just started working in a coffee shop and I am learning the art of frothing and latte art but I am not been able to froth milk as per the needs for a cappuccino..... Should the tip of the wand be just above the milk and I hear the hiss sound and when the milk starts rising I lift the jug up... Please let me know... Thank you sir
Hi WS, Thanks for the question. Regardless of type of milk froth desired the steam tip should never be above surface of milk. That'll make a mess! Always turn steam on with tip slightly below surface of the milk.
@@Wholelattelovepage thanks sir am happy to learn
Imagine this guy goes to a coffee shop and he's asking for a cappuccino 😁
This was one amazing video, thank you so much
You're so welcome!
I just started making coffee and the frothing technique pointers are super useful
Hi Jay, Thanks for the comment!
I just got an espresso machine and today I started to learn who to make a latte, any advice?
Hi Sara, Well this video is a good start. But do check out this extended video with 3.5 million views on frothing for latte and latte art: ruclips.net/video/0vD--H7poxU/видео.html
Marc
2:17 Finally talks about Best practices of frothing
2:19 1. Use a 12-ounce pitcher.
2:52 2. Start with milk that's as cold as possible.
3. Chill pitcher if possible.
3:00 Fill to just below beginning of spout.
4:15 4. Purge steam from wand before steaming.
5. When done, wipe wand with towel to keep milk from hardening on wand. Purge again to remove milk from wand.
Lol, Thanks for the recap!
Thank you maestro for teachme how to improve my technics and give a great idea of how to instruct and practice with my teammates
You are very welcome!
One of the greatest Coffee related tutorial videos I have ever watched on youtube.
Hey EM, Well thanks a whole latte for the comment. If you want some more detail on frothing technique for beginners right through to pouring your first latte art this video is my favorite: ruclips.net/video/4PSCsv7kcKA/видео.html

I want to learn how to make a latte art. I'm just a beginner.
Hi EE, To learn the art check out this video: ruclips.net/video/0vD--H7poxU/видео.html
Marc
French press makes the best froth milk. Change my mind?
Hi AB, IDK... I've used mechanical/agitation based frothing devices and never been able to produce a froth fine enough for pouring latte art. Not only does a fine froth give the capability to pour latte art the creamy mouthfeel is a world away from the coarse airy froth typical of mechanical frothers. Beyond that there's an ease of use factor. Frothing on a semi-auto machine is a one step process which gets the fine air bubbles into the milk and heats at the same time. Depending on the machine it takes about 10-20 seconds to complete the frothing process and there's no repetitive plunging motion required. I imagine if french press did the best froth baristas everywhere would be dumping the steam wands and plunging presses. So how did I do? Convinced?
Whole Latte Love I feel we could have two ways: steamed and mechanically. To me French press doesn't alter the integrity of the milk by adding boiling vapored water, it's faster, fluffier doesn't require the use of the wand neither the use of a milk frother. Just 1 min in microwave is enough to gently warm the milk. And not using the steam wand allows me to preserve the state of my espresso machine to a better longevity. I am very satisfied using my French press all the time now. So it feels that using the steam wand is a way to make it complicated and not really efficient.
Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to post the video. Brilliant!
