Barista Training: Milk steaming & Latte Art

Latte Art techniques & Barista Skills

[@zeltwood...]

Your auto-steaming technique will revolutionize my efficiency in the café! Thank you Mr. Alsela!

[@crocodil54]

Which coffee should we choose for latte or cappuccino?

[@unfairwarning2889]

The issue with many baristas is they are trained a way to do something specifically, and each cafe is different, with different steam wand, pressure, etc. Thank you for being so open minded and giving people the tools to create and forget. Set it and forget it... Use your body to create lattes, not your head. In a busy cafe you will mess up by thinking too much haha!

[@rinky_dinky]

I've watched more than 11 videos on milk steaming... They roughly say the same thing... And then you go break all the rules .... You're the real deal

[@slow_clumsy]

"want to be a barista? Don't think, just do it?" 5 minutes later I start pouring cold milk into the shot 😂

[@AboBadla]

[@beccamaeowen]

As a barista at a high volume coffee chain it’s so wonderful to learn more from someone with so much knowledge and expertise! ☺️ Gonna make even better coffee at home on top of at work

[@thomasliu4545]

Thanks a lot Dritan for the fantastic new video! I Through watching your videos for the past one year I have learned so much from ZERO to now enjoying making latte every morning at home, which tastes much better than a lot of local cafes. wish you and your family and the kid all the best!

[@dritanalsela]

Wow, thanks so much Thomas for your kind feedback! I truly appreciate it and I'm happy to hear that my videos are of help for you :) All the best!!!

[@kianooshrezaee8613]

You are the best coach in the world. I saw a lot of tutorials on KZbin and they don't teach it properly. But you finished the work for me forever and told a principled method.

The best and most informative video I’ve seen yet. Thanks so much for the effort on the steam wand and pouring close-ups. Great detail and advice!

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks Justin. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! It's encouraging to keep on ☺️

Hello Barister Am Berist for somali Ilike art coffe Do you have whats app

[@tariqmoustafa5381]

Best barista with a beautiful wife i learned many things all the best ❤️

[@jamescanjuggle]

just started barista work, videos like this are so helpful. a lot of recent videos online are too flashy. Theyre good entertaining videos but they dont show me what i need to learn. These videos give me exactly what i need. And that's to see dritans hands moving as he pours and to see the milk foaming. I think I've watched the video many times over now making sure the pouring pattern is drilled in my mind hahaha. Thank you two so much!

[@Milkscribbler]

I have finally found a meaningful purpose for my small stash of plates that comes with the countless loveramics cups XD THANK YOU DRITAN AND MARIETTE!

[@dritanalsela]

Haha thanks for your kind feedback :D

[@sasaknezevic3473]

Thanks for auto steaming tip! It helped me a lot to relieve anxiety about steaming. I finally managed to tame steam on my small 350ml pitcher. I have a lot of steam power on Gaggia TS and very often I got scared from quick milk foaming and always try to move steam wand. Now I finally realised that there is nothing scary about it and foam will set very quickly just by spinning the milk. Thank a lot!

[@Warrior-Heart]

Thank you both for the great video! Really appreciate your effort to speak in English Dritan. It is very inspiring to watch someone that loves what they do.

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback David! Appreciate it a lot ☺️

[@ginachu4602]

Thank you so much for this tutorial video! This is awesome for me as a beginner to home barista! Appreciate guys.

[@PatTuazon]

You’re right I am scared of the steamwand and the milk haha 🙈 thank you for teaching us how to texture milk like learning how to bike with 4 wheels 🥰 i learned a lot! and congratulations on your pregnancy 💕

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks Pat! Appreciate your kind feedback a lot and I'm very happy this video has been of help! Don't be scared, all just a matter of practice and repetition ☺️ You can do it!!!

[@dutchhomebarista]

Love these video's. Thank you for making them. Already learned a lot!

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks so much for the kind feedback! Happy you find it helpful :)

[@glen.moralee]

Gah, if only I’d watched this video first. And then stopped. Absolutely better than ever other milk video I’ve watched combined. Thank you 🙏

“If you want to be a barista, you don’t need to think.” -Dritan, 2021

[@dritanalsela]

...just do it 😜

[@limited_edition6107]

True , thanks to Dritan ❤️

[@mohtarwahab7135]

only use your brain to move the muscle

[@MatthewDuminy]

All of this is great info but the most amazing part is his splitting. It's at god-level! Letting milk sit for so long after steaming and then still getting so many usable pours... Amazing.

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks so much man ☺️

[@akomasuquo45]

Great job from you both! You make it so so easy to understand. Thanks.

[@rudolfalwi]

Always fun and informative from this lovely couple! Great looking lattes and cappuccinos!

Thank you, favorite training video I’ve watched yet.

[@dritanalsela]

Oh wow! What a compliment! Thanks so much, I appreciate it a lot 🙏🏻

[@kingsleyfhk]

Thank you very much for this video. It really helps a lot. Trying to make my latte art for the last 2 weeks but fail with my Breville Barista Pro Machine. Not able to get the Milk frothing technique right. Too bad I just run out of Milk, will "Just Do It" the next day. Once again, a Big Thank you.

[@annettewikstrom1941]

Thank you to both of you of your loving way of enlightening the coffy making... 💕

[@mes982]

We should always take advices from the professionals like you Mr. Dritan. I hope you can see my comment because after I watched this video I like my coffee machine again and can do a very good quality of steamed milk all of this are because of your advice ,thank you so much for you professionally work and honesty . 🙏🙏🙏

[@AlexandraDiehl]

Oh men, I love both of you! The barista and the commenter ❤❤❤

[@CallMeTheRouge]

You guys are amazing and I really appreciate this video.

[@yellowzander]

I really learned from your automatic steaming. Thank you and more power

[@67er_matze97]

having three nice Espresso machines in your kitchen is a secure sign of having understood what are the really important things in life 👍 ;)

[@dritanalsela]

Haha ! THAT'S what I keep telling my fiancé when she's complaining about the lack of space to cook in the kitchen 😁

[@dessireemendivil7620]

[@adamhartman4312]

I love watching these videos because it makes it better that it’s harder for him to speak English because it forces you to truly watch what he’s doing because there’s not as much explanation! Idk if that makes sense to a lot of people but I like it quite a bit for that reason

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks Adam!!! I truly appreciate your feedback! The language barrier is really an issue so reading this is really a motivation for me ☺️ Thanks!!!

[@adamhartman4312]

@@dritanalsela English is one of the most confusing and diverse languages out there and that makes it very hard for people to learn your doing a great job as far as I’m concerned

[@jordanschwartz6871]

I just got the GS3 MP, and I was looking for a video like this one. Thanks for showing me how to handle the steam wand pressure. It's a lot stronger on the GS3 than my Rocket apartamento.

Sollte ich mal in der Gegend sein, komme ich gerne bei dir/euch im Café vorbei. Bitte mach weiter solche Videos, motiviert einen das ganze Espresso/Latte-Thema nicht zu verbissen anzugehen.

Aber er nutzt "das ist" viel. Learning english from german speakers isn't advised. But it adds flavor to his speech. And english speakers might not even notice, if they don't speak german. Hau rein chef!
