How buzzed were you after filming this? So many cups of coffee to be consumed! :D

KA S let’s just say that it wasn’t easy going to bed 😂

[@Jorgeelizondom]

Super video!! Thanks. I’ve read that for newbies it’s better to put the jug in the freezer. I don’t see you suggesting that. Should I learn with the jug at room temp? Thanks again

[@iBarista]

Jorge Elizondo You’re welcome! You could freeze the jug if you find that you need the extra bit of time, it buys you an extra few seconds. It really comes down to personal preference and the steaming power of your machine. But what I suggest is using the bigger jug instead of a small one with the water and soap method and when mastered switch to a small jug. It’ll give you a faster learning curve (personal experience).

Good job ! +1 sub 😊

Sylar1996 Thank you so much! 😊

[@ktsung91]

Great vid to show what the incorrect foam results like. Thanks! Anyway suggestion to practice the latte art with the soapy foam? Other than real coffee.

[@iBarista]

Thank you! The soap trick is purely for practicing your steaming technique without wastage. For practicing latte art I’d suggest using powdered milk (or regular milk) and instead of espresso shots use coffee grounds. So what you do is; -fill the jug with water and add (enough) powdered milk and steam it like normal. -In the cup you add 1 heaped teaspoon of coffee grounds and add a little of the steamed milk and swirl/stir it. -Pour your latte art. -Then dump everything back in the pitcher. - add spoon of coffee, add a bit of milk and pour again. If you do this quickly you can easily do this 10 to 15 times before the milk goes flat. Cheap and fast :)

[@ktsung91]

@@iBarista nice! I've been using regular milk and cocoa powder. How much powdered milk did you have to add for it to be close enough? Wondering I can save some milk using this technique :D

[@iBarista]

@@ktsung91I’d would sugfest around 1 big heaped tablespoon per 150-200 ml water. Never tried reusing instant milk but with this technique. But it’s cheap enough and low in wastage. Regular milk I know for sure you can reuse. 👍🏼

I hate you because I did all the mistakes lol🤣🤣 I hope I can make it better , thx so much anyway, crying

We all made them my friend, we all made them! 😂

[@jaivikbalar1185]

This was a really helpful video.! Thanks man.! I can make the tulip and the heart, but I can’t get the jiggle right for Rosetta. Can you share some tips?

[@iBarista]

Hi Jaivik! Glad it helped. You can share/send me a vid on instagram (and/or tag me) that way is easier for me to point out any problems you’re having (@ibarista_amer).

[@y8l]

Thanks for the video. I am thinking to get the linea mini too. How’s it going?

[@iBarista]

Welcome! I absolutely love the thing. It’s a beast

[@TheVinl82]

Hey Thanks for showing when is the steam Wand too much under or above the milk and some do's and donts. What is the size of your cup and what's the size of your milk jug?

[@iBarista]

Vincent you’re welcome! The cups are 190/200ml and the jug is a 350 ml.

[@ianferris]

Jesus turns water into wine, this guy turns water into milk

[@iBarista]

🤣 hilarious!

[@adrianusr19]

Hello, may i know how many bars does your linea mini steam set to? I found mine a bit too strong at 1,3 bar. Thanks !

[@iBarista]

Hi! Mine is currently set at around 1,6 bar. If you find the pressure a bit too high you can lower it by accessing the upper panel and you will see the pressure-stat screw for the steam boiler on the left. Each quarter turn changes the pressure by about 0,1 bar. But be careful not to lower it to much or else the steam doesn’t have enough power to whirlpool the milk and you will have a very coarsely textured milk. I suggest to keep practicing with water and soap and try different angles with the steam wand first and maybe larger quantities of liquid.

[@adrianusr19]

I see that is still higher than mine. Will practice first at 1,5 bar. Thankyou for sharing!

[@drizzle1482]

what pitcher are you using?

[@iBarista]

The black pitcher is a Motta 350 ml the stainless one is a generic 200/250ml pitcher.

[@EstebanHernandez-hs6zl]

where can i buy the same ceramic cups?? regards from mexico

[@iBarista]

Esteban Hernández These cups are from Loveramics. If you can’t find these in Mexico you can try Acme cups. Those are also very nice and pretty similar in shape and looks. All the best from Holland!

[@EstebanHernandez-hs6zl]

iBarista thank you very much! The cup in the video is 6oz or 8oz?

[@iBarista]

Esteban Hernández They’re 6oz. No problem!

[@edmunds101]

what amount of espresso are you using when doing these?

[@iBarista]

edmunds101 hi, around 20 gr per cup so a single shot.

[@GuniBulls]

That was disgusting!! It was disgusting how good and easy you made that look!!!! Your worst latte art of bad examples looked better than my best! At 8:27 I was like, damn that's just beautiful, but then you kept going...

[@iBarista]

Thank you for the great comment! But I’m confident you’ll get there sooner than later :) practice makes perfect 👌🏼
